    I went to your gallery and found this in progress shot, IMO all this car really needs is about 4 inches out of the top and bigger (taller) rear tires to fill up the wheel wells. I like it as it is, but if you are changing it, those would be my choices.

    O.K The frame is already pinched at the front. I have now removed the floor from the inside (LOVE my SABRE SAW) and have trimmed the deuce rail horns off the back. Looks like dropping the fron about 1 inch and the back by 2 inches gives the best result overall. it keeps the bottom of the body relativley level but allows the swept up look of the chassis i am chasing. Previously it looked quite rectangular that slight raise at the back adds something to the look IMHO. The Fuel tank will now be in the cowl were its supposed to be. As well the frame horns are just covered at the back. i will try to get a photo once I have tacked the floor back in. Sounds like a lot of work but Geez its fun.

    ps l really like the input.
