I still plead ignorance on this subject but that never stopped me from
jumping in before. It is my belief that front drive streamliners are larger
in frontal area than comparable rwd liners. I'm thinking here of Danny Boy,
Ken Walkey, and Summers Bros. old Polywog car. Still I remember the Hill &
Hill FWD liner as being very small. The drive for that car was from SPD I
think in the Sacramento area. You might try contacting them to see what they
can tell you. Rich
