Default Re: 58 Corvette RACEtoration is back online!

To address the wheel tub issue, I fabricated a mold from 22 ga steel. I wanted a rounded corner from the sides to the top for a nicer stock appearence. I hand formed a nice wheel tub complete with beads for strength. I then hand laid the fiberglass mat with resin to form a great looking and strong 35" X 14" wheel tub



I then trimed the finished tub to fit the car and glassed it into place for a very sweet finish.
