[Fot] GT6 Trani removal

[McKearn McKearn]

I did cut the tunnel back to clear the back of the trani.  Maybe I'll give
it a try from cockpit side before giving in to whats smart. Or  necessary.
                         Thanks for the input.  P.J.
  Bye the way,  Scott do you recall what cam you put in Col. Mustard?
