DSE Mini Tub Install Question

[FireSale]

Hi. I’m working on the install of a set of Detroit Speed Mini Tubs on the 68 Mustang coupe I plan on running in SS GT. I have a question for anyone who has done this before. I’ve measured and market the frame rails for the insert cuts and was planning on doing both of the rails before moving to the inside of the car to do the tubs themselves. The steps on the instruction video show finishing all of one side of the car, frame rail and tubs, before moving to the other side. It seems to me that it would leave the car more stable to seal up both the frame mods as soon as possible, then worry about the wheel tubs.

What do you think?

For those of you who have offered advice and encouragement on this project, I ditched the Mexican block in favor of a Ford Racing BOSS 302 with Crower rods and an Eagle crank. The rods are legal, and the crank is the best I could do given that the one on the NHRA list hasn’t been manufactured in 9 years…
