Well,
None of those are for doing a mini-tub. Those are full size tubs like when you do a complete back-half or tube chassis car. A mini-tub can be done with a few dollars worth of scrap sheetmetal. Look at the pix on my site in the album "my nova"

Did you look at the pics on his website? There is a bunch of great pics there. But, that's basically how it's done. Check it out you'll see!;)

Actually I had those tires on there way before we did the mini-tub. I'm just getting ready to switch to a 10" wheel with the same size tire I use now.
