    I just picked up a '29 roadster body (very rough and in pieces) with a original '32 frame. I wan't to build a traditional late 40's era car. I know, so does everyone. Please post your pics and advice. Thanks in advance.

    To start, here are the frame diagram for the '32 under the '28-'29.

    Not a 28-29, but a 30-31 on 32 rails. I made the rails fit the car so it sits like a 32, slightly overlapping the frame rails. Bought the custom made rear sub rails from Riley Automotive in Colorado (hamb member) which made the job 100x easier.

  5. Firerod,

    Can you post a picture which shows the brake pedal / master cylinder arrangement on your car? It appears that the master cylinder is on the passenger side facing forward. What is the linkage arrangement to allow that to be done?

    Thanks,

    FritzJr

  7. This car has been on the road two months now and have around 3000 miles on it....

    Chassis is very rigid and works ok , even with the heavy engine.

    A few photos of the 1"x2" tubing subrails I fabricated to mount my '28/'29 Roadster on a modified '32 chassis:
