Default Re: !931 body on a 1929 frame

I think my beloved '31 roadster is sitting on a '29 frame. I think that 50-60 years ago someone did this but at least they used a very nice '29 frame and the engine must have been very low miles as it has not been touched.I suspected the misalignment in the hood when I got the car or shortly after but it wasn't too alarming.I thought the front crossmember looked okay like a picture I saw of the difference between the two.What I just discovered upset me as the stoplight switch that a '30 and a '31 use which fits in crossmember no mounting holes for it and current stop light switch is a early one on transmission. I get one good day and a couple bad ones but I gotta get it back together.Probably the most disappointing old car project for me in 54 years,you think I would have learned by now.So many other good roadsters I could have bought for about same money. Suppose after 87 years they all have their skelletens.
