Ground clearance

[Bernie in MA]

What is the approximate ground clearance of a factory Festiva with 12" wheels? I have mine on jack stands so the springs aren't compressed. Thanks.

The low point underneath mine measures around 5 inches.

I should have said the frame under the front end. Is that the muffler or something? I'm building a buggy with a different rear end and I want it to come out somewhat level.

That measurement was at the cat, at the frame behind the front wheel measures right at 6 inches.

Thanks. I'm running 29" tires so my clearance will be 10", 21 from 29 divided by 2. I made the frame so I can run 5x19 tires on the front. I started dreaming about this rig 15 years ago and have worked on it off and on since. Gotta get humping, 81 next month, lol.
