'63 American - need some measurements

Hi All,

I've got all the suspension and axles out of my 2 door American 220, planning on going with a Chris Alston triangulated 4 link and M-II front clip. I will be relocating the axles a tad to make the wheelbase a smidge longer in the process. I measured and located my axle centerlines before removing them, but the measurements don't add up so I'd like to get 2 dimensions per side, 4 total:

Front edge of door frame to front axle centerline, L & R (hopefully the same)

Rear edge of door frame to rear axle centerline, L & R (hopefully the same)

Thanks!

Russ

  Go from a balljoint grease fitting on the front suspension ( that doesn't change with the steering) to a bolt or other definite point on the bottom of the car.

To do it right you should of have the car in the air and level front/back & side/side. Then you plumb bob the stock points like where the front spring/control arms bolted to, wheel center line, etc. and mark them on the floor so you can use them for reffrance points. Then roll the wheel back to where you want in the opening and bob it & mark the floor.
