'29 coupe door opening dimensions

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by RB35, Aug 27, 2013.

  1. Getting ready to start fitting the rear quarters to new subrails (not drilled) on a '29 sport coupe. I've been doing searches and can't seem to find a dimension from the A to B pillar. Could someone open the door on their coupe or sport coupe and get me a measurement of the opening width at the hinge points, top and bottom, please? Every pic I've seen so far indicates the door width at 29 1/4", but nothing about the inside opening width.
    Thank you-much appreciated.

    Upper from A pillar to B Pillar even/Level with Hinge = 28 1/4 "

    Lower A Pillar to B Pillar even/Level with Hinge = 28 " on my 29 Business Coupe

    if you want the measurement taken from the hinge pins ,I can do that also

    If you have the doors, fit them before attaching the quarters permanently.
    I've seen '29 doors that varied as much as 3/8".
    Good idea to check them.
     
  6. Once I get the hinges sorted out I'll do that.
    Thanks,
    RB
