    I know your cars always turn out great, so I'm not doubting you.... but why the extra 5" in the wheelbase?

    I'm pretty sure a longer wheelbase will give him a better ride.

    Yea BIG-JIM, I do think it will help the ride plus with the chop and full hood I think it will make it look longer and lower.. Thanks for the other comments too...

    *****in! I'd really like to leave the fenders off of mine, but they are in such good shape, it's hard not too. I'm with you on the 28-9 A's. Looking at buying another 28 sedan local.
