My Classic Roadsters is longer and wider than an original. I wonder how they did that one given that it can't be taken from an original by splashing or digitally. Maybe DV knows.

I think "the hard way", from FFRs perspective, would have been to splash 3035 or exactingly digitize it and then redesign, retool, remanufacture a new frame to fit to a dimensionally new body. When FFR fit a Kirkham body to their existing frame, it was a whole lot more than they had anticipated. Not even a close fit but it was the data they needed to do what they did with the MKIV.
