Wheel Tubs

Hello All: I'm new to this site and am excited to read all of your experiences. I've enjoyed the posts already. I'm restoring a 56 f100 and have been looking for wheel tubs. I've found several places but, don't know if I'm getting ripped off when it comes to prices. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations on where to purchase these items? Thanks an I look forward to reading and maybe I'll have some good input here one day. It's getting warm here in S. Cal this weekend, suppose to be in the 80's. Wish I was cruising in the Ford. Thanks for your help

Hello 6 day, Sacramento vintage (www.vintage-ford.com) has an excellent catalog, they have fiberglass tubs 4" wide for -189.00 a pair and 8.5 wide for 199.00. I have bought from this company many times and are always satisfied with shipping and material quailty, although i never purchased any fiberglass parts yet , hope this helps.

Your friend fever

That seems to be th going rate. I believe that I am leaning towards steel tubs. Fiberglass just doesn't seem to agree with me. Thanks for the web site

Any metal fabrication shop can or welders shop.

The guy who boxed my frame and welded in my Mustang II crossmember did my tubs, Very excellent job too.

Thanks and I just called a friend of mine who owns a machine shop and builds classics. He has all the tools to do the job. I need to think outside the box. I should say he said we will both be doing the job. Thanks for your help and I'm glad I found this web site. This is pretty awesome and you guys are very kind to respond so quickly. Thanks again and I'll be reading a lot here.
