Today I got the time to get up to the (my neighbor's) garage and lay the new front fenders in place. It looks like fitting them to the frame and splash shield will not be a big problem. However the running boards appear to be 3/4" too long.
Now, before you tell me that the rear fenders, running boards, splash shields and front fender are best all fitted at the same time, I know that. But my piece by piece restoration is by necessity not my preferred way of doing it. (Did I mention it is my neighbor's garage, not mine.)
The easiest way to get a perfect fit is to remove the running boards, make them the correct length, and reinstall them. (I want to get rid of the step plates anyway.)
But before I start cutting and welding I am wondering (since so much else was wrong on my car) if my 29 tudor might have the wrong running boards? So:
1.) Is there a difference in size between 28-29 and 30-31 running boards?
2.) What are the dimensions of the 28-29 running boards?
Thanks in advance for your replies!
