What is your wheelbase?

[Telman2]

I've read a number of posts lately about oversize buckets and longer frames and it got me to wondering what wheelbase most guys are running? My wheelbase is 96" and most guys that see my car usually comment on how short it is.

105"

117", but mines a roadster with 12" added to the frame in back.

10 25 years ago, most seem to be around 96" now with over the counter frames and stretched bodies, 102" and 104" seem to be more the norn.

LumenAl, you're a braver man then I am, in the 40 years I've had her my baby has never seen that white stuff. She's put away before it comes and stays in her corner of the garage under her cover until spring.

We have a Mr Roadster front axle with ford spindles and super bell arms, and the ackerman distance to the rear centre gives a wheelbase of 104" give or take a hair. We put 9" on the body length and a 108" wheelbase looks about right.

For the rest of the story

Actually, had to shovel the driveway to get it out...
