Thanks Bob for the added information on Don senior. I had communicated with Don junior via Faceache the other day but he didn't mention his Dad.
One of the things one must take into consideration when planning the layout of your project is the length of the wheel base. Now if you are thinking along the lines of a 4 foot bed, how will that work in with the overall proportions of the finished car ? One of the jobs I have to complete is shortening my pick up bed as I cut approximately 4" off the length as I wasn't happy with the amount of bed sticky out behind the rear wheel. I tried to divide the side view into 3 equal or near enough spaces ,the distance between radiator and firewall, firewall and back of body and thirdly the pickup bed. here is another side view that shows just what I mean about how the bed was a fraction to long. Wait, I don't know how to upload a photo on quick reply so I shall be back.
