Any issues with rear interior panels and rear seat installation?

 

[6PKRTSE]

Yes, I narrowed my seat and re-wrapped the cover and notched my interior panels around the mini tubs. About the best pictures I have of rear.

What do I do with this bracket? I need to cut it somehow when I cut the tub in half. Do I just cut it in half and weld it back on once I move the tub over.
Would you cut the tub down the middle of the flanges or just to the side? I imagine it would be hard to cut through all of the spot welds?

 

[6PKRTSE]

I moved mine inboard with the inner tubs. Yes, it's a pain to get out.

 

[Pistolgrip496]

Leave it where it is just drill out the spot welds the new inner wheel well will fit to that bracket perfectly

Where did you split the tub?

 

[Pistolgrip496]

I had to replace the trunk floor inner and outer wheel wells and both quarter panels.
After replacing the floor I cut out the inner wheel well at the factory seem with a cut off wheel
Then I cleaned up my cut leaving the inner wheel wells for a reference point to install the new wider outer wheel wells from AMD after installing the inner I went back cut out the outer wheel wells that way I never lost my alignment point and the Quarter panel fit right up

Ok, I was able to get the the pans in and fit up nicely. Next question is metal prep. I was thinking about preping the metal then using spraymax 2k epoxy. I'll probably use some type of undercoating to finish it off. Can I spray the undercoating on top of the 2k epoxy?

I also got the passenger side inner wheel tub cut out. Next I will cut the floor and install the US cartool frame notch.

Your doing a very nice job

Yes you can go over the epoxy primer with undercoat

 

[Pistolgrip496]

Are you leaving the leaf springs or going with coil over rear suspension

I have a garage full of front & rear RMS Alterktion suspension boxes rear will be RMS streetlynx. I can't wait to get started on the fun part.

Thank you! It hasn't been as difficult as I expected.

Looks familiar I just figured out my back spacing on the rear wheels I’m going to order the rims this week. 3-4 month wait.
Did you go with the 4 inch narrowed housing or stock width?

Nice!!! I went 2.5" each side narrowed 9". How's your install going?

 

[6PKRTSE]

Nice piles of parts everyone has. I bought my wheels first. Mounted up some tires and mini-tubbed and we built my car around the tires and wheels.

 

[Pistolgrip496]

Everything is working out good
Trying to have it finished by the end of this year.

Did you narrow the rear 4" total or 4" each side?

 

[Pistolgrip496]

2 inches per side 4 total.
That’s what Bill recommended
I’m using a 19X12 wheel with a 6” backspacing with a 345/35 tire.
