    I picked up the rustiest thing I ever dragged home to take the roof off to convert mt 4 door to a coupe, would somebody be kind enough to measure the distance between the B pillars in a couple of places for me, so I can tack some bracing in before I cut whats left of it up , its pretty floppy right now , if possiable I could use some across the trunk opening as well, from left - right side, any help greatly appreciated, I will add some pics to the post later tonight after I download them!

    Awsome thanks Chris !! For the trunk opening is that from the edge of the lip that holds the weatherstrip or the opening itself?

    Thanks again eh!
