Front Motor Dragster Roadtrip and Progress pics

Butch M and I traveled go Jamestown, Kansas to pick up a 1960's front engine dragster. It was last raced in the 1970's but I have no history or other info about it. I've spent the last few months working and updating the frame..next is to finish the body and paint. It will be ready for the HAMB drags in Aug

 

Looks like a nice car... What's the wheelbase?
