I go with the size based off of the embossed areas. Of the factory stampings

Have you tried to fit the doors back in after you welded in the Mad Dog Kits to make sure your gaps have not tightened up?

Best to find out now.

I love this build, great work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

The stiffening kit is a big improvement.

Keep it going!
