    I need to replace the rear half of the subframe in a '31 Model A Coupe, and was wondering if someone on the board could take the time to get a measurement for me. I need to know the distance from the center of the top fender bolt to the top of the subframe. See photo below for the measurement I need. Any other measurements you think would help me get the subframe spaced properly would be appreciated.

    Is there a reference diagram somewhere of body measurements between different points on the bodies of these?

    Decimal or metric, I can figure it out. Thanks!

    Wonder if a 29s the same. If so I can get a measurement tonight.

    I'd appreciate that, just to see if it is the same 11" as @Big A said it was. Measure twice, cut once.....

    Lots of frame info there but no body measurements that I could find. Thanks.

    I'll post the question over there to, just to confirm what others have said.
     
  7. I can take the measurement again and take a photo if you'd like.
