installed vinyl top rails on roof, altered the motor mount, added .030" sheet to the bottom of the front valance,
Removed 5 scale inches from fenders and hood because the article that I mastered the original master model was wrong!
Unfortunately, I was misinformed about the quote from Dick Harrell in the article from American Rodding March 1968;
"We moved the rear wheels forward eight inches, extended the front end ten inches and are now sitting on a one hundred and fifteen-inch wheelbase" is incorrect !
I went back to review all the measurements and found out that after doing the wheelbase alterations (according to the article);
The wheelbase would not be 115", it would be 110". And, if I also include the 3" front wheel moved forward, the wheel base would be 113" !
To make the body correct; 5 scale inches (5 m.m.) was removed from the fender panels and hood (see photos below).
