Default Need 29 Sedan measurements please

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone out here has body dimensions for my 29 Tudor Sedan. Body is all stock, no wood involved.

I'm particularly interested in left-right measurements above the roof edges and getting my door alignments right. My right side front-roof area is splayed out some, windshield area seems fine.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

John

Anybody? I assume the front upper roof edges are parallel ahead of the doors? Or do they taper inwards some?

I also have one that I will measure if you explain exactly what you require.

I just want to verify that the front roof pieces remain parallel along the roof edge, as opposed to tapering inwards. Is it a straight shot from the doors forward?

OK, that's what I did too. Everything else seems right on so far! Now I just gotta get past my surgery and get back on things!

The outer edge tapers towards the front pillar, exactly as the top edge of the door does.

If you think the one side looks all right, you can string a center line down the center and make the bad side match the good side.
