Mini Tub Elcamino G body - Need Feedback

I'm thinking about doing a Mini Tub and frame notch. I will be removing the frame soon, after I decide on wheels. Planning on 18x10-18x12 rear wheels and 18x8.5 in the front. I have a plasma cutter & mig need to practice using it!! LOL. The rears inside wheels wells would need replaced, be cause t is in full view!!

What do you guys think??

Nice wheel tubs will look awesome. Keep us updated. If you need some ideas look around over on yellowbullet.com search for Malibu or TRZ or frame notch for plenty of build pics.

Mini tub and frame notch is cakework on an elcamino. nothing in your way. heres mine

Oh BTW 18x10 will work with a frame notch and minitub but not a 18x12 if you plan on tucking the tire.

Yes, more pics on that notch! I notched mine and used a wheel well tub kit from Jegs and it doesn't look too out of place, but I'm far from finished with the body work. I went all the way to the inner skin too.

I run 29x11.5" slicks on 10" wide 15" diameter rims and they rub if i take a corner very quickly at all. A 10.5 or 11 would make things easier on the rubbing.
