50 Special with Roadmaster Frame

[gnoub]

Ok, someone needs to tell me that this is wrong, or right as the case may be, or just plain waste of time. Since the Roadmaster (at least in 1950) has a wheel base of 126-1/2 vs 121-1/2 for a Special, is it safe to assume that the hood and fenders are longer? It sure looks like that to me in pics.

My project is a 50 Special 4 Door Sedanette. I want to use a Roadmaster frame (or Fenders and hood if need be) in hopes of extending the whole front end those five inches. Ok, I could try to find a Roadmaster 2 Dr Sedanette, but I can't (at least on the cheap) and honestly, although I can't belive I'm saying this, in this body I like the four doors better.

I have this vision of a chopped 4 door sedanette with an extra five inches in front end length. On paper it looks very cool.

Thanks!

Yes, I the difference is in the front end, fenders and hood. They are longer to accomadate the longer 320 cubic inch engine used in the Roadmaster.
