Widest Point or Longitudinal Curve |
||
|
This curve defines the widest point of the Speedster Body. |

The Widest Body Point Curve will probably end up being a 3D curve, but you have start someplace. I took a WAG (Wild Assed Guess) the curve would be 4" above the Top of the Frame. Here is why. On the model A, the widest point will be above the cut out that is made for the Rear Frame Cross Member. Probably the widest point will be about a third the distance from the bottom of the Skirt to the top of the body. The Radiator is 22.75" above the frame. The Skirt is at least 6" below the Top of the Frame so that distance is 28.75" and the widest point will be 9.5+" above the 6" Skirt Bottom or 3.5+" say 4" above the Frame Top. |
