Anyone going to the CA Bay Area

Is there anyone who lives in/is visiting the California Bay Area? If so, would someone be able to swing by the Western Railway Museum and take some measurements of the Boeing-Vertol LRV that they have there? I am thinking about doing one and I need some measurements that I can't seem to find:

The width of the absolute front of the car, I know the width of the body, but the front narrows

The legnth of the articulated joint peice on the car, I know the full legnth, but not the legnth of the individual segments.

the width of the second and third sets of doors, I know the front ones are 54 inches, but the rear ones seem smaller.

Distance from the front of the car to the first set of doors

If anyone works for MUNI/WRM, I could use some of these, as well:

A good inside shot of the cab

the dimensions of the stairwells

Mabey some interior shots as well, so I can get a fix on handrails and the like.

Born and raised in the bay area. However Solano County is definitely a far reach from where I live.

I can try to help you out with the MUNI cars however, I've been on them several times.
 
I've got pics of just about everything else there except that. I live about 1.25 hours from their and my family and I are members of that museum. I don't know when well be going their next time but when we do I could get some measurements and pics for you. It just might be a few weeks.
