SPF chin clearance issues

The good news is that my completed SPF MKI is being shipped to Chicago as I write this. The bad news is that our current local situation includes cold temps, snow, rain and salt covered roads. Since big trucks are not allowed in my village, I am considering having the car delivered to my office building where I can keep it in a heated garage until the snow and rain clear up and I can drive it home on clear road surfaces. Unfortunately the garage access is via a ramp, and I'm not sure the GT40 will make it down without scraping something. Can any of you guys look at your car and give me a couple measurements? I need the general ground clearance within the wheelbase, the clearance to the underside of the chin, and the distance from that chin spot back to the front wheel centerline, (overhang) I think the bellhousing will be okay since it's fairly close to the rear wheel centerline.

Thanks, I do not want to spend the next week cleaning salty slush residue from all the nooks and crannies!!
