[BFix] Stretching the wheelbase

[John Foottit]

I stretched mine between 15 and 16 inches.  I also stretched the body 9
inches though.  To make it look perfect, I'm infilling the front of the old
wheelwell cutouts, so that I can center the tire in the opening again.
There are pics on my club site here:

It made my 5.8, ZF, 203, 205 fit nicely.

How far can I stretch the wheel base on my 72 bronco without it looking
ridiculous? I'm going to add a doubler so I need to stretch the rear out as
far as possible. I already moved it back 4". How much father can I go? Pics
appreciated !
