The clip appears to be narrowed about 3 " Seems to steer straight straight and true. With the 120 in. wheel base and without a sway bar the handling leaves alot to be desired on a curvy road. Only way to get a sway bar is to have one custom made. I thought at least the Mustang 2 upgrades would be easier to do. Plus, the Stude has a 351-W Ford engine!! Nothing against Fords but a GM clip and a Ford , especially 351-W are strange bed partners. The engine sits very high in the engine bay. Remote oil filter( inside the right wheel well ) Did I mention its a "front steer" GM clip? On top of that I have no idea for sure if its a Nova,Chevelle or ? Just thought it would be a opportunity to rip it all out and start over with more conventional material ( Mustang 2 Chevy engine ) However, Fatmans reputation is fading fast and Heidts appears to be good and solid but Ive seen complaints about them also. Not as many as Fatman's
