I had my ragtop beam narrowed 80mm which is just over 3 inches. I had a 63 body on the later pan and had to "massage" the inner fender area in with
a BFH (big f'ken hammer) for clearance. Didn't need to go in much but it wouldn't have fitted otherwise.
Here is my narrowed beam before painting it, but after "clearancing" the body

My 54 has a 2.5" Narrowed beam and it is very close. My look at doing the same as DAS with my BFH.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
