I'm trying to decide if I'll be able to get it out of my shop without
cutting a new door or something. I want to build my wings and tail and
fuselage in my workshop, then take everyting to my hanger for final assembly
etc.

Doc:  The firewall is 36" wide.
         The fuselage with the windshield frame is ~46 1/4" high.
         The fuselage at the rear seat is ~33 1/4" high.
         The fuselage height at the inst panel is ~35".
         The belly skin at the center section is 35 1/4" wide.

I note that a standard 36" passage door opening seems to be about 35 1/4"
wide inside the stops.  The door would have to be removed to obtain this
width.
