I only do fiberglass tubs (#ChubTubz, :D) and they are shortened for raised floors (4"). I've seen posted somewhere that someone is making widened tubs in steel, but not sure where. Keep up the good work!

Re: 70 ground up build, porter built, accuair e-level, ls swap

Re: 70 ground up build, porter built, accuair e-level, ls swap

thanks guys, it's some work getting those damn rivets out lol. I'm glad I finally got them all out of my way. I'll be back on it tonight after work.

Re: 70 ground up build, porter built, accuair e-level, ls swap
 

Buy a nice air chisel (Snapon or Matco NOT harbor freight) and you will be amazed out how quick the rivets come out.

Re: 70 ground up build, porter built, accuair e-level, ls swap
 

I do have a nice one, cut an x in the heads and popped the heads right off, just had a couple stuck good in the frame. I got them all out, glad it's over with lol.
