That's the way I'm reading it also.
First thing is to get the car set up on jack stands at the exact ride height and attitude that ya want. Then bring in that front stub and get it set up with the exact wheel base. From there you can see where ya need to go as far as extending the front frame rails to that rear cross member.
NOTE ; Spend a TON of time in measuring, moving, measuring, measuring, measuring. And MAKE NOTES !
I like to drop a plumb bob off off the chassis at equal points(swing arm pivots points are good) mark them on the floor on duct tape, and square every thing up off them. REMEMBER that if you move the car even a skoshe ya gotta drop those plumb lines again ! There is absolutely no way you're gonna get the car exactly back in the previous position.
