Looking good Barry.
I noticed that the front end is stretched. How much did you lengthen the wheelbase on it? My Studebaker is 110" down from 121" from the factory. On my 68 Camaro I shortened that one a couple of inches when I built it but I don't remember what I wound up with. The one I have now is 107".

The reason it might look like more than the 6 inch stretch is because of the way the quarters are opened up. What is normally done on the rear wheel opening is the quarters are cut at the center of the wheel opening and moved forward 6 inches which effectively shortens the wheelbase 3 inches. you make this up in the front end so to increase the wheelbase 6 inches you have added 9. At least that how I did mine and that's per McAmis instructions and looking at the pics of Barry's that how it looks like his was done.
