rustrocket Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 My spitfire is in the shop having a tube chassis built. The front and rear track width are going to be increased by 7-8 inches. This may sound like a silly question, but is it worth widening the tub (cut it long ways down the middle and add metal in between)? I'm already having custom skins made for the floor/firewall, and i have a spare spit tub that's been sitting for 7 or 8 years doing nothing. What do you guys think? The other obvious option is flares... What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boodlefoof Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Glad to hear the project is moving along! I went with the flare route on my 240-Z rather than widening the entire tub. I ended up widening the track about 8'' front and rear too. I thought about cutting and widening the entire tub, but it seemed like the more difficult route. More opportunity to mess things up. If you're paying somebody else to do it, I imagine it would cost a lot more as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
