We are going with a 2:1 ratio. We moved the rear wheel centerline forward 4 inches and the front centerline 2 inches. It's a rather mild offset but with those big wheels it should give an altered appearance without having to completely lose the back seat.

I'm hoping it'll be there for Knotts. There may be alot unfinished sheet metal...well, not like there isn't already. I'm sure we willl still have the 302 in but the new trans will be there, so, yeah I'm planning on driving it to FFF! I like the leaf springs in the front. I think it's a cool look and more to the spirit of the gassers, IMO. Also it was a hell of a lot simpler to fab! The final mix will be a 393 with 3.89 gears in the back. Hopefully it will be quick. *crosses fingers and prays to the gods of speed*

I might go 4.11 but no bigger.
That axel was free and it bolts right up to those leafs, so that's what I'm usin. I do like the hairpins, tho.
I think the tires are 30" diameter...
