Been a member for a while, but I finally joined the owner's circle.

First, the car is way shorter than I imagined, there isn't a ton of visibility out of the front windshield, and this car is a RIDICULOUS head turner lol.

Now, I need some measurements off of the front end of the car.

I need the lengths of the red, yellow, and blue line segments in the first picture, and the blue segment in the second picture.

With all of the angles going on here, it's tough to get "meaningful" dimensions, but here is what I'm getting:

Yellow - measuring from the rear point of the tube where it's welded to the chassis to the front of the small square tube that the top of the radiator is mounted to is about 28.25".

Red - measured to the front of that same radiator tube is 20"

Blue - 21"

2nd Blue.....If you're looking for just the length of the tube that the radiator is mounted to, it is 33". If you're looking for the width across the hood hinge mounting brackets, it's about 37.25"

Which car did you buy and what are your plans for it?

Thanks. You've helped more than you know with your comments and other posts over the past few months of digging and researching.

Not sure of the GTM number yet, it wasn't listed on any forums. The front end got chopped up a bit so I'm just replacing all of the radiator support, updating the interior, and I may resell it.

Has some crappy seats in it that are falling apart. Looking for a more comfortable alternative.

I can get the angles from the lengths of the tubes in a round about way. Especially if the measurements are take from the welds of the square tubing.

I still need dimensions for some of the bottom brackets and hood mount brackets, but the main thing now is just getting the aforementioned section replaced.

Any idea on the thickness? I forgot to check it before I left for the weekend.

Just got home to cut a small section out to check the thickness and it's 0.0593-9 or so.
