Tim,

If you are talking about the plan at
http://www.gerardsgarage.com/FS_Garage.htm 

When I build that frame, the pieces had to be cut to fit. The basic
measurements are there, but several of the cutouts needed to be modified. 

For the front view you are looking at, I believe the piece that is cutout is
to be 7" by 5".  That left a 5x5" square on the side piece.  I do remember
that I re-enforced this area between the 2x4"s.

As for the rear piece, yes it says begin the cut 9" down and cut it down to
22" from the top. Again I am sure that my piece had to be cut to fit.

Hi Folks,
I am building the Spridget roll over frame from the plans that are 
published on one of your websites. The pictures show a blue car in the 
frame. I suppose the plans are on several sites.

Anyhow, I want to verify some dimensions as the numbers are blurry and it 
appears that the sketch is not drawn to scale. (Measure twice - cut once 
principal)

For the plan that says "FRONT - Front View" at the top of the page. . .
Is the rectangular cutout 8 inches in from the edge which would make the 
*removed* piece 4" x 5"?

For the plan that says "REAR - Front View"at the top of the page. . .
Does the arc cutout begin 9 inches down from the top edge?
