Not a problem. When you get to building the car you're working on give us a build thread and lots of pics. It's always fun to watch your builds come together.

yeah robert. we plan on it. we may not get as deep with the thread count, but we will post up some pics. if you could tho, i really need that height at the support. we are pretty sure that we have it close, but that number would do it! thanks again, postcar.

This isn't what you're looking for?

If it's not, then I misread.

I measured this with a straight edge going down, laying across the cowl to the core support, after all the squares were taken. Both sides were 1' 3.5"

hey robert! we were just hoping to get it at both sides right at the support. these frame rails were bent up on one side and down on the other and no inner fenders were attached. we were hoping for a number right at the support without the tram. if we are within a 16th or so from yours, we will be ok i think! thanks again robert. postcar.
