Duane, you can move the front lower pickup points in but that may require a different IFS bracket. You'll likely also have to redrill the front upper shock mount point as it's likely you'll experience an interference problem between the spring coil and the upper ball joint bracket. You may also have to grind the frame in the front on the inside to avoid an interference problem there. Redrilling the front upper mount and grinding allows you to get the clearance you need.

In the rear, I don't know who you get around not going with shorter shafts / control arms.

Here is a suggestion... sell the body and contact "Mr Bruce" here on the forum. He is currently making a 289 Lemans body for me with comp flares in the rear and FIA flares in the front. His molds are modular and I'm sure he can do whatever flares you want and it won't be a hackjob. Not to disparage your fiberglass abilities, but Bruce Chervenak knows what he's doing.

Good luck.

Jim
