Barry your help is greatly appreciated. The exact measurement is a very valuable contribution. Although I am not involved directly on this project, I have been trying to help Giovanni brainstorm some ideas.
Here are my questions:
Do you suggest that the new middle section to be added is fabricated from scratch rather than taking an existing tub? (cut it and add it)
If an existing tub is used, can the donator vehicle be a CJ or YJ?

Hello, I am Barry Ogletree, the owner of WhataJeep, Fredericksburg, Texas, USA. I have been watching with much interest your discussions and ideas of extending a TJ Jeep for Gio. I would like to help all of you with this project. I think it would be fun for all of us to try and communicate and to do it.
The actual stretch that is necessary is 43 3/8 inches. You must always calculate from the inside of the panel. In a TJ there are pillar and door supports that must be allowed for. To shorten it anymore, the door will then have to be made shorter. This is a difficult process even for us to do. The interior connections and door locks and controls get very complicated.
I will send more photos today if possible to communicate them to you.
Best Regards
Barry Ogletree
