Well, no it doesn't actually matter. I realize that my knowing the number
doesn't change it.
But that doesn't mean I don't want to know?!?!
Most of the crap I know doesn't really matter that I know it, but I still like
knowing. I know those numbers for my liner. The knowing doesn't change them,
but it helps me put some things in better perspective.
I know how much I weigh, and that knowledge doesn't seem to help anything
either.
Oh yeah, we built using a Model A drop axle, and cut the roll bat to fit Monte
Widdison -- (somewhat over five feet tall)-- remember, this car will never
compete for records, it's a Drivers Ed car.

Does it matter? Use a 32 shell, a straight axle, put the steering behind it,
mount the shocks inside the hood/shell, skinniest front tires you can find,
mount the cage as low as you can and get a 5 foot driver to drive it.
