DarCarter, I am sorry I do not have the car you have built but I have some questions, (like you need that). Do the bumper brackets you are using have any holes for the bracket stand rivets? If so, with the bumper bar bolted to the frame, and body mounted, you should be able to measure from center of the rivet hole to the bottom of the body, to establish Stand hieght. I had fun and fits with this on my Dad's 29 Tudor, as the bumber arms had at least three holes drilled in them at different points along the line where the stand rivets live. Ended up with the wrong stands and replaced them with the right ones. Determining the correct hole for the stands was easy once in place.
