Default 1940 coupe body measurements

Reassembling my coupe body, I had to remove the roof to fix the drip rails (there were only a few spot welds holding it on), I never trusted the dimensions of the body since it was in such terrible shape, and using the roof to determine the width seems iffy at best since the roof flexes so much.


So what I need are some body measurements:
  • The width of the body at the top of the door jambs. red
  • The width of the body 6 inches off the floor (to avoid the tt tunnel) green
    • with these two measurements I'll be able to determine the diagonals to make sure it's not tilted to one side.
  • The width of the body closest to the trunk opening. blue
..and any other measurement you think might be helpful...! THANKS!
