Art Morrison custom chassis / measuring inside rocker panel lips

I decided to buy a custom chassis from Art Morrison for my '77 280Z and the last measurement I am finalizing is the overall frame width, which I am planning to fit right in between the lower vertical lips of the outer rocker panels.   I am going to drill out all of the spot welds holding the rockers to the OE floor pan, and plug weld those holes to the 2" x 4" rect tubing of the frame.   I was curious to know if anyone has tried to take this measurement inside to inside between rocker panels, and what they got?  Or has anyone else built a frame with this fitment in mind, and what overall width did you use / how did it work out?    I took the measurement in about 6 places and consistently got 51.25 - 51 5/16.
