Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
Hello.
On a 35/36’ Coupe , the bumper brackets bolt on the corner of the frame. Then set body down on frame . A 3/8” - 24 body mount bolt goes up through this bracket. Approx how thick is the pad that goes between body and bracket ? T/Y |

Re: Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
There are some photos below of the corner brackets. Between the body and the corner brackets, at the rear, on the 35, are square washers with a hole for the bumper arm bolt. The amount of these washers depends upon the distance between the brackets and the body. Usually a couple.

Re: Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
Could you post the part number & vendor for those pads ? Can't read the diagrams when I enlarge the pic.
Thanks, Bob |

Re: Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
Unfortunately today I posted here in our “Parts Wanted” section.
The metal channel that goes in Roof insert area. Weird that is missing on our 3W coupe. Last edited by ssffnomad; 04-03-2024 at 10:20 PM. |

Re: Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
Good Morning.
So are looking way ahead, and trying to source interior parts. Can only find one company that can provide a 36’ 3W pre sewn headliner. “Acme Auto Headlining Co.” Long Beach, CA Have any of you guys dealt with them ? Thanks Stretch |

Re: Stretch’s 36’ 3W Coupe build
Acme is a very old company and have probably been around since the 50's. Never heard any negatives on them. Right now they are probably the only game in the hobby.
