Pro-touring 73 Camaro: Making Room for the Meat

Installing Detroit Speed min-tubs. I would have been more apprehensive had I not been forced into extensive rust repair on the front end. Now I’m much more comfortable potentially destroying my car. Planned tires are 315/30-18 on all four so mini-tubs are a must. Link below for the DSE-produced how-to video. Aside from having a fantastic sound track I would have been lost if I had only read the instructions, highly recommend watching this video if you are planning this mod.

Update: Looks like DSE pulled down their 2nd gen mini-tub install video which is bummer since it was actually very helpful to support the written directions. I've changed the link to their 1st gen mini-tub install video, most of the general process transfers.
