          the stretch numbers are confusing.... rear wheels moved forward 8", front wheels moved forward 6" in the fender, and the fender extended another 15".

          I think it'll have a 118" wheelbase, or maybe 119, when it's done.

                I'd like the nose to sit about two inches lower than the rear

                            with the addition of a belt driven air intake....
                            going carb'd or injected?

                              carbs...although mechanical injection would be neat, it would take a while to get it working.
