1---The rear cradle can be moved a little rearward. I'm thinking 1 to 1.5 inches. This will more closely center the rear tire and provide a little more room between the front of the engine and bulkhead. This would put the final wheelbase at 100 inches.
2---For the mock up I simply moved the front body clip forward by 5nches. I moved the lower doors and the gull wing uppers forward as well. I filled in the rear of those pieces to the rear of the body with duct tape.
3---The face of the dash will have to be cut and moved rearward by 5inches.
4---The side pods will have to be cut in the middle and lengthened.
I like the look. Lengthening will make the cockpit much more comfortable for me. I think that I will make this change. And, install C4 vette front suspension.

Looks fantastic. It deserves real race car suspension not crap. A roll bar would make it stiffer & safer
