A/FX Altered Wheelbase 426 HEMI Auto Fabrication Moving the Rear Wheels Forward 15 inches Page 1 |
We started with a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II, as many of the Race Teams Like Ronnie Sox,
Bill Flynn and Jerry Styles did. Our car was owned by a Little Old Lady From Madison, CT
First we removed the floor pan and 15 inches in front of the rear wheels.
Once the floor section was cut out we moved the rear floor and wheel houses forward 15 inches.
The Rear Frame rails were extended and as the Factory instructed, a sheet metal cover was welded
in and connected the rear of the car to the original floor pan. The rear frame rails were then boxed in.
There you have it. Rear wheels moved forward 15 inches, A close eye was kept to make sure
through the altering that the car was aligned properly.
Frame was boxed and connected for extra rigidity as per the build instruction.
The Floor Pan and wheel wells are welded into place.
The Next Step was to install the Factory New Quarter Panels after they were altered.
