I heard someone mention they were considering "mini-tubbing" their restoration project car.
What does that mean?
Can you just "tub" a car, or can only "mini tub" one? Can you "maxi tub"?

From Hot Rod magazine:
Mini-tubbing is the act of widening a car's rear wheelwells, moving the inner halves inboard to the location of the stock frame-rails to achieve maximum tire clearance without major frame hacking. It's a mod that dates back to the early '60s and has mostly been used for drag racing...
