I know you could get away with dropping the grille shell between the rails if you channel the body. But sectioning it, even if it's what you read, could be trouble. There's something in play here called the "spirit of the rule" that may nip you. I, personally, can't see any advantage in channeling a T in Street Roadster. All you are doing is shoving the driver, a blustery thing himself, out into the wind. With a T, you've got him sitting almost upright already. I don't know from frickin' computer modeling or whatever. But I do know a little from parts. The short hood length, the short cabin, the short cab sides, don't make the best StR situation unless Billy Barty, rest his soul, is retained for a driver.
