Moving the wheels forward is really a good idea. I don’t know if it would have been possible, but I wonder if a person could have just shortened the front of the fender the same amount as you moved the wheel opening, effectively making the car shorter? It would have been more work and I don’t know if you would have had room for everything. At any rate the work is stellar.
Urn8 That's exactly what Bob Thrash did the Front was moved from 117 wheel base to 120 then Bob Shortened the nose up 3.5" by using 69 charger fenders and trimming the nose so it fits perfect with no ugly Gasket gap like the original it is pure metal art. Just by using 69 fender instead of the 70 fenders that were used in the production of Daytona's and shortening the steel nose it shaved about 6.5" from the front overhang.Big Difference.
