Can someone tell me the width of a model A '30-'31 lower cowl (with firewall installed) I have a deuce frame and I know to use a '29 body it requires the narrowing of the frame. Not sure what is necessary to make '30-'31 look right?
here ya go-there is some info on page 2 posted by c9 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=220827&highlight=30+on+32+rails and here is another http://classicroad.com/modelA/Pinch.htm
No need to pinch. My late '31 Sedan is on deuce rails and it fits perfectly at the cowl with no pinching.
I think they are about 30" inches wide at the bottom. I checked my notes that I made a while back, and I do't know if that refers to the bolt holes for the feet, or the outside measurement.
