    Here's a photo someone sent me of an unfinished Kilbourne body like mine... i know the framework is 1 1/4" square tubing, and it looks like the wraparound flange of the fiberglass is also close to 1 1/4", so combined, that would be "about" 2 1/2" from the top surface of the body to the bottom of the support bar. The flush mount kit in the above post measures 3" overall, not counting the thread-in clevis... if my car looks like this when i pull the interior panel away, the standard flush-mount setup MAY be long enough... What do you think?

    Your still going to have to make, or buy somthing so you don't draw the fiberglass in/down when you tighten up the nut.
