Cutting out wheel wells for tubs....?

[87cutty]

Cutlass is the most limited out of the Gbodies because it has squared off wheelwells so rubbing on the outer edge ends up being an issue with too big a tire.

So hey got question, found a 59' wide 9 inch for rear end housing with axles for 80 bucks. I have found mounts for g body on currier enterprises for 190. Would that work better if i did that or should i just bite the bullet from quick performance.

I think a gbody rearend is 58" flange to flange not 100% sure though. I personally would just buy a bolt in housing with axles but if you have the capabilities to weld on brackets in the exact location as the originals then I suppose you could attempt it, I would also check the axle tubes for straightness on your what I would assume is a used 9" rear.
The aftermarket rearends are made in a jig so that everything is welded in precise locations if you can't get it exact you could be fighting suspension issues all the time.
