What is the distance from the rear tip of the frame rail to the center of the fender holes just past the beauty line? Thanks! Bob
I came up with 45 3/4", Pete and Jakes shows to mount the center of the rear axle 17 3/4" from the forward fender mounting hole.
Here ya go, real 1932 Ford Rails with a factory number. they will go under my '30 Roadster project. Rough, maybe but having real ones matters to me, if have to explain why you wouldn't understand. Bob
Ten minutes before I left to pick up these rails I won the cut off JW Rod Shop rear sections from a tubbed pro street chassis.
37kid, according to the master '32 Ford blueprint the measurement is 45 and 15/32" to the bottom hole. The holes are not straight up and down, the upper hole is minus 11/16" meaning it is further back towards the rear of the car. The top hole is 1 and 7/8" CL from the top of the frame and the bottom hole is 4 and 23/32" CL from the top of the frame and the hole size is 5/16". Hope this helps.
Thanks to everyone that helped with measurements, everything worked out just fine. New rear sections should arrive by next weekend, and there was More material behind the fender bolt holes than I remembered.
