It has 7 degrees of caster now, it would have to have 60 degrees to get the wheel base to 108 inches.

My car has 110 inch wheel base, the extra 2 inches are from the firewall forward. Rear is in correct spot. The front will have to be cut off and moved back 2 inches. Probably up 2 inches as well to correct some geometry problems.

Here it is at Pettigrews



If any of you remember, I ran a 21st Century front clip on my yellow car and Rupp had one in Bad Penny. That is the jig for it on the left

Here are a few shots of it while I was waiting for the roll back

Few more





and attempt at an artistic shot

Yea, I have thought about all of that stuff...going to move the clip back and keep the wheel base where it should be. Fender are going to be custom regardless of the wheel base.

Going cut out cage from main hoop forward and put it where it should be, not in my line of sight. Down bars are out too far and come in contact with front tires and the kicker bar keeps me from mounting my pedal box. Funny as I sent my pedal box to him before he started the frame, much less the cage, for him to mount.
