Well truthfully I actually measured the whole thing and tacked it all into place, I was going to use some 2"x1/4" flat steel to reinforce it until my pops came out to inspect and made me grind it all off. The bucket's he made for me match the front on the BTF kit, but you can't mount them unless it's on a flat spot which I pointed out to him, but he said he didn't like the structural integrity of the frame to bucket ratio. Basically a bunch of B.S. but he's funding the project so I'll follow his lead, he does build/race blown alcohal rail cars on the side so I don't question him... I'm sure I can persuade him into something. So with it stretched already by 3-4"s plus 2"s front and rear with the perches, I'm lookin' at 7-8" give or take of stretched wheelbase.
