    I've got a '31 Chevy coupe. Not much of the car is there. I have a Chevy frame but I'm not sure if it goes to this car, it looks short to me. My questions are:

    How far is it from the rear shackle bolt hole for the front spring, the bracket that's riveted to the frame, to the front axle's centerline?

    How far is it from that same bolt hole to the radiator mount holes?

    How far is it from that bolt hole from the firewall?

    Thanks a bunch in advance!

    I've got a 32 sedan, when I get home I'll check for you.

    I am working on a 31 Landau Phaeton, and have the body off and such. Will try and take some measurements this weekend.

    A pic is worth a thousdand words. :)

    Our crossmembers are exactly the same. The frame on mine is shaped the same but I'm pretty sure after seeing the pic of your frame that my frame has lost at least 5" off the front of it's horns. I appreciate the replies so far.
