Someone told me this works, It is described as 30/31 but a shim might help. You could loosen the front cowl bolts and play with it. Playing with it sure beats modifications.

I am eager to hear how it goes. I currently have my body up and off the frame as I am putting down new frame welting. I will be re-aligning soon enough too. Mine is also a '29 Tudor. |
I am embarrassed to say this, but I didn't thoroughly check out the car before I took it apart. And believe me I KNOW that it should be checked first. Brain fart! The car was in such good condition that it never dawned on me to check the frame etc. And to be honest I never intended to take the body off of the frame. At first I was hoping to do a quick paint job and send it down the road. One thing lead to another and before I knew it the body was at the sand blaster and things got crazy after that.
