1927 Chevy Coupe Dimensions Needed

I recently brought home some body panels for a 1927 chevy coupe and could use some dimensions. I have none of the wood frame so all I'm really looking for are some rough numbers to get this close to stock for my build. I would like all dimensions to be at the bottom of the body so I can start building the frame to fit.



Thanks,
Primo

Lotta good info in there but no real dimensions. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to catch up with a local guy who has a 27 and pull a tape.

I am figuring this out myself. I put the grill shell on the frame and stated there. added hood and cowl. then I centered the rear 1/4s on the wheel and this left me with the door size. I took some half inch x 2" plywood and followed the body lines to make them straight and then set my deck lid opening parallel .29.5 " I believe. starting to come together.

 

I can probably get some measurements off the 28 for you tomorrow.

 

That would be great. Between your measurements and what I can pull off the local coupe I should be able to get something going.
