The engine seems high when you take a 1" wedge out of the body and set the rocker to 5" of ground clearance. The transalxe is actually rotated to 1 degree dowm hill to lower the front center of gravity. With a rear spindle center of a 20" rim of course the transaxle will be higher then normal.
We have some pretty slick ideas on the hood, If it is not obvious this car will be pretty custom. Reshaped fenders, reshaped tailpanel, Reshaped roof skin, Shortened nose. I have quite a few tricks up my sleeve on this car.
See ya in Columbus.
