What size tire are guys getting with a 67 fastback? With leaf spings? I'm guessing a 275 35 18 maybe 295 with leave enough room for side to side sidewall flex.
wish this video starts where you show some of the cutting off the old wheel housing process, hard to see the details of the edge and cut line on this video, but I'm still interested in these mini tubs but I'm installing the heidts 4-link rear end and the bolt-in brackets on the frame rails may interfere with yours or anyone elses minitubs?, I do know the heidts 4-link wont allow you to bring the wheel inward whatsoever because of all the interference with the mounting brackets on the frame rail, whats you thought on this since I've seen you install heidts 4-links rear ends as well. so all I can do is take advantage of the square corners that your wheel tubs have to offer and give me maybe more tire space but not wheel space.
We now make our own MTF Watt's link. With ours we moved the mounting brackets to the inside of the frame rails compared to Heidt's, which have them on the outside. By doing this it gained us another 3 inches of clearance :)
Do you have to modify any of the interior for this to fit? Seems like the back bottom bracket (that you recommend putting in last) would move quite a bit. Does it change the corner and side panel attachment at all? Thanks.
@@MustangstoFear What about the back point where the lower corner piece attaches to the wheelhouse? That part seems fixed, but maybe it doesn't really move?
Are you running a four or three link on this build? Aren’t you still limited by the factory leaf spring? Why add a tub. If you can only go in as far as the spring will allow?
We are running our Watt's link on this build. You are limited to a maximum 245 if you stay with the leaf springs. With the mini tubs you can go with a 275. Michele and I sold MTF last August, we started a new company called Patriot Classic 4x4 doing 66-77 Bronco's. I won't be answering questions anymore.
That's questionable, if the Falcon takes the same rear tubs as the Mustangs, then they would work. Michele and I sold MTF last August, I won't be answering questions anymore.
Nothing in the package tray. You will have to modify the tub slightly on a coupe or convertible. Email us and we can send pics. The pics will be under mini tub soon on line.
Michele and I sold MTF last August, we're no longer answering questions, that's up to the new owner now. We started a new company called Patriot Classic 4x4 building and developing parts for the 66-77 Bronco.
@@yotaismygame as long as you are doing away with the leaf springs and adding tubs you can probably go 305. If bigger than that you will have to get custom interior.
Thank you for this video! Going to start fitting these mini tubs in my 66 tomorrow
Keep such videos coming!! Miss u guys 👍
Nice video you guys look like you have a nice kit I get mine almost the same way a slightly different

Great video, one question, do you add the axle snubbers back ? If not, how is axle bum stop addressed ? Thanks...
Michele and I sold MTF in August of 2020, the owner doesn't answer technical questions. We opened up Patriot Classic 4x4 doing 66-77 Bronco's.

You do not have to modify the interior. These are for a fastback model.

great vid non the less
Is this something you offer to clients or is that your personal vehicle? Id love a wider tire on my 66.

@@RS-gh2mf ok thanks. I hope you did well!!
@JamesKlafehn we did very well, can't say MTF is doing that great now 😪
@@RS-gh2mf Really? Why? The crappy economy? I assume that is probably hurting business.
No, it has to do with leadership 😢
would these work with a 68 coupe and still retain the factory rear seat?
Yes they would, but you would need to notch them in the front to clear. We have pictures of it on our website.

Hey Rich can you recommend good spot weld drill set? I have few but they suck
the Blair Rotabroach is the best units that I have used.
What's ur website looking to get mini tubs for my 69 mustang coupe
What needs to be done to the package tray??
Nothing in the package tray. You will have to modify the tub slightly on a coupe or convertible. Email us and we can send pics. The pics will be under mini tub soon on line.

@@RS-gh2mf good luck in your new adventures.
Thank, we appreciate that. Will probably be doing Bronco video's 😁
Do you know what a max tire width is for a 69 stock and with mini tubs?
Probably 305 if not using leaf springs or rolling the quarter lip.
MustangstoFear that’s stock? So what about linked rear, mini tubs and rolled/fenders? Btw I like your guys products. Seems like good stuff
@@yotaismygame as long as you are doing away with the leaf springs and adding tubs you can probably go 305. If bigger than that you will have to get custom interior.
@@MustangstoFear yep , just roll it out ,,, or flare it out more. i ran 285 on my cars in the past ,, looks great... but want bigger now:)
On a 69-70 you should be able to go with a 315 tire. I have customers going that size even on the 67-68 with no interior modification.
Do you sell tubs for a 69 mustang I would like to know the price for the kit thanks...
Yes. They are under 69-70 parts on our website.
just flare it ,,, 315 will fit, doing 18x9.5 on my 66, no tub ,,,,,, have a 2.5 inch flare ,,, but wish i did a 4.5 on rear
I doubt seriously you're going to get 315 in the back of a 66 by just bringing the qtrs out 2 inches
would these work for a early 70 falcon?
