Hot Rods Ground up 28' on 32' rails. Subrail question

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by ChoppingBlockCustoms, May 25, 2015.

  1. Hey guys, first official question so far...

    Just mocking up some pieces to get a feel for dimensions, etc.

    These are repo 28/29 wheel wells placed on the new subrails that I just jigged up.

    Should the wheel wells have a bend in them to follow the jog in the back of the subrails?

    My model A is toast in these areas, so I don't have a reference.

    See pic of the gap...

  2. I just checked my '29, which I added new w/w to new subrails. I did fold the bottom under and up the inside and theres about a 1/4" gap that tapers back to nothing at the rear. Don't know if that's correct or not. The subrails are curved as you mentioned, the w/w are straight.

  3. Thank you. That helps.
