Location of Rivets for a '3
 

I’m new to rebuilding a 1931 Ford Roadster and I’m hoping that you can point me in the right direction. Can any tell me if there are schematic plans as to the location of all the rivets for the 1931 Roadster? I’m trying to rivet to a new subfloor to the body and I want to make sure that I do not miss any of them. Thanks in advance for your help.

Since no one has answered your question specifically, ...Yes there is a "schematic plans" of a sort available. The correct locations are on the prints of the sills and cross sills located at the archives. Unless I am mis-counting, you would need to review 6 different sets of prints. Unless you have a specific reason to spend the money on obtaining the info on prints, it might be cheaper to find someone with a Roadster body that you can photograph and measure.

BTW, if someone has not told you yet, Welcome to Fordbarn.

Since no one has answered you question, helpfully... I will hopefully clarify. There are a select few of ford barners who have all the prints. They will not tell you where to get them or how much they cost. (very helpfull). They will however tease you with the fact that they have them. Sometimes they will post pictures of the prints, answering the question, however that is very rare... apparently a lapse in thinking Johnny Cochran won’t come back from the grave to prosecute them... I have a fodor which is no help to you.... but if I had a roadster would be happy to give you all the info you need...

It's not really a big secret to get the prints, here's the link.

Also understand that the prints from The Henry Ford are NOT for copy or distribution and are ONLY for the person that bought them. In order to get them yourself for your own use it would be around 30$ each page as long as you have the correct numbers for them to pull and copy.
