    Gen III coupe frame dimension request

    Hello all,

    I'm sharing build space with a guy who's in the middle of an 818 build, a semi-stripped Subaru doner, a Miata ice racer build... you get the picture. I'd like to build a chassis cart before I pick up my Coupe Jan-6, so I can be flexible on using floor-space until my build is a roller. I've searched, but all the returns so far are of the previous chassis design with the 4" tubes. Can someone who has taken delivery of a Gen lll Coupe take a look below and provide the missing dimensions? Or point to a thread where this was already answered?

    I was planning on an "I" type frame with the chassis supported across the back of the rear pan frame rails and under the front cross-member that sits under the front A-arm mounting tabs.
    Any other suggestions welcome.

    Thx!
