Haha, you put a lot of pressure on me now:o. After I read randy’s Posts and I plan to buy a used 16x20 or 14x17 camera back. I will install a wood frame in the existing rear standard and hook the 16x20 or 14x17 back on the frame. Hopefully it will work. Not sure how long it will take me to find a used camera back.

last buy a lens, there are plenty
35" of bellows and extension is not much...
Interesting, I got one of those earlier this year which was built as horizontal and converted it to portrait. Been thinking about getting or making a film holder but so far have just been using the vaccum back which with x-ray film is a bit inconvenient but works. The Sears table saw which has casters is the current base hopefully not for too long.
My Wollensak Raptor 330 from the 8X10 covers 11X14 and per the catalogue will also do 16X20.
I'll be interested in following along to see how you're project goes.
I don't think that these will be good field cameras, even with pack horses and bearers. (S).
Oh yes had to make a top hat to do head and shoulders.
Yes, need find a film holder first. The 35" bellows is not very long. Maybe I should build a box to extend the rear standard.
