What i did was to mesure 114" (original wheel base) from the center of rear axle, then drew a chalk line on the floor below the clip front axle, with a couple pieces of string and a bar attached to the upper control arm i line up the front axle center line with the chalk mark on the floor, then welded the frame. The rad cleared the steering box a good 1/4 inch. Sorry i don't have new pictures of the front wheel and fender clearance. The body is off the modified frame and back to the original one right now.
