With a tape measure.

Is it interfering with sheet metal? Might be ok, it will give you more room for increased caster.

Oh... This sucks.

It has 7 degrees of caster now, it would have to have 60 degrees to get the wheel base to 108 inches.

Holy hell! So the front suspension is an inch or so forward? I remember Ron/Dave/Rob being concerned about the ride height being 4x4ish, but it sounds like you've go a bunch of other issues that are worse.

My car has 110 inch wheel base, the extra 2 inches are from the firewall forward. Rear is in correct spot. The front will have to be cut off and moved back 2 inches. Probably up 2 inches as well to correct some geometry problems.

Sadly it's a long list.

ok, well that changes things. I surprised he didn't build it with a mock up body so he could center everything.

Well if it was 108", he wouldn't have needed a mock up body. LOL
