Hi Dan,
This was the car you bought i San Jose from Steve Wickland back in the  1990's, right? Wow, congrats for saving it all these years!
All the dimensions that were ever available are in the shop manual, and it is available on TigersUnited.com(?)
From your photos, I think you MAY be looking at the factory re-works to the Alpine body to allow the V8.  Yeah, they look like crash damage but they are NOT.
Gary (met you when you picked the Tiger up)

There is an e-bay listing for them here;    http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Sunbeam-Alpine-Tiger-260-NOS-Frame-Dimensions-/221215882339  Thoughts?

There is so much oil/tar/dirt build up on the underside I think I'll have everything media blasted and primered.  Any suggestions?  As for rust, only the boot floor panel needs replaced.
