I plan on building a modified Benroy plan. I will be adding some curves on the front bottom and rear bottom, for an overall length of 10". I will be towing it with my '47 Chevy truck with air-ride suspension so i'll be sticking with the traditional 4' height.

Your center of weight doesn't make sense, but that shouldn't stop your plan to weld.

My point is you are not taking the tongue into consideration.

the front curve of the nose will over-hang about 2 feet over the front of the front frame?

OK. I guess I should have researched your build design better. I'm building a Cub type of thing... It overhangs the same front to rear.

Glenn, stop screwing around, let's burn some metal!! :thumbsup:

It looks well thought out, but no mention of whether the tear will also be bagged? :worship:
You should start a build journal, it's pretty motivating.
