Technical 1926 Model T Roadster Turtle Deck

Hey Guys.
I was recently offered some parts 1926 T Roadster parts to go with the cowl and doors I already have. They comprise of a driver’s side bun panel, tulip panel and deck lid inner skin.

The plan is to fabricate the quarter panels, using the other parts as a guide, I just need measurement along the bottom from where the bun panel joins the sub rail to the end of the sub rail itself, as highlighted in the image.

Any help is appreciated.

 

Cool!.....

 

In my opinion, the most beautiful roadster body ever made...

 

Totally agree to that.

 

A few more details. It’s being built to suit a Model A frame, so the wheel arches will be the same dimensions as Model As.

 

The extra three inches will mean more leg room. I am using these two as guide. The bottom one is a repro one but I prefer the headlight arrangement.

Just measured mine. I got 41 1/4".
