I am getting ready to Add a backbone, under door cross bracing and some other frame stiffing modifications to My MKII roadster # 2708 (purchase date 2001-2002) What is the frame Materiel (Mild steel, chrome, etc....)? what is the Wall thickness of the 2", 1 1/2, and 3/4 square tubing. Also, Does F5 have any frame drawings of the MKII or MKIII with the Backbone, foot boxes and under door bracing shown, that I can reference while I am doing the modifications ( it would make the process slightly easier). Thank you

It's made out of unobtanium.

The top secret plans are in a safe, in a vault, in a secret cave, underneath an active volcano. On Mars.

I believe it is a 1020 steel that is weldable by most means

Hhhmmm? I found some unobtainium and built my own backbone system without any drawings. If I knew there were drawings, I would've modified them anyway.
