The 959's wheelbase was reportedly 89.4 inches. So cutting 5 inches out of a Bug pan would be spot-on.
As for the overhangs of the 959 vs the 359:
The kit car looks a little shorter.

I wondered if somebody would bring up a 959's overhangs.

I'm glad you did, Ed - because this gives me the chance to rag on a $1.6M car I'm supposed to love, but never did. I know when it came out. I know how important it was. I know all the reasons I'm supposed to love it, but I just can't get past the fact that it looks like a 1985 Jr. High-School boy's sketch of a "cool" 911.

It could very well be the ugliest car Porsche ever made, and that includes the 968.

Even silver/black can't save it.
