My new front suspension is on the car

well, my new A arms went on my chassis today, I'm pretty happy with them, with one exception, the upper A arms arn't long enough, oh well,
back to the metal supply store for me so I can re-build them. I am happy with the way they turned out as far as locating my balljoints, and the way
the suspension moves up and down. I am just going to extend the upper arm buy 1 1/2 inches each and it should fix it. Anyway I'll let the photos
talk.
On another note, I also did some work on the dash pod I've been working on, I'm not happy, I am going to re-do it tommorrow, this time
using wood and thicker fleece. The problem I have with the other dash is that around the edges the fleece bowed duiring srying, this happened because
I used hobby foam to make the plug. Well apparently the resin melts the foam to a small extent. I guess I could fix the one I have, but I really
don't want to use more bondo on it than I did resin

I forgot to say the front track is wider by 5" (f/66, r61)
Should I leave the front as is, or should I shorten it, I need would need to loose an inch and a half to get the camber right, which would bring the
front track to 63 inches.
Opinions welcome, please...

That's a tad wide!
Why not remake the lower wishbones and leave the top ones as is? Though by the sounds of it, that will still leave the front 2" wider than the
rear.
What was your reasoning for going so wide in the first place?

Those lower bones aren't finished are they - no strengthening? Just an observation.

By my calculations I thought the the front and rear would be very similar, but they are just a bit different. i am going to re make the lowers.
No they are not finished, they need some strngthening built into them, I also don't have my suspension on it yet.
