    Body Buck question

    Almost all complete with body buck but was double checking a few things. Does anyone have the length of the body cut outs from middle of
    front wheel well to the rear wheel well?
    I just want to make sure my Car shell fit nice and snug.

    Thanks Mike

    I placed my body cutouts 96" apart - a standard 8' 2"x4".

    Wheel base is 90". Most of the plans show 96" spacing for bucks. I made mine 92" and it fit perfectly.
