Hello,
Looking for source to provide me proper dimensions for sheetmetal subrail dimensions for a 1928/29 roadster. I have the green model a book with the overall dimensions of the car, but I need specific length of the long rails, width and distance between the two narrow cross channels and the wide one to build a jig. I have searched for books, drawings and anything on the net, but cannot find a source for this information.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I love to fabricate stuff too but the time it takes making bucks and other special items is taxing on my projects schedule. I just buy the reproductions from Brookville. They make them for a price that saves a lot of my time. A young feller might not see it this way and that's fine but wait till a body ages a good many years over the hill and my philosophy starts to pay off.

Don't hesitate to start a new thread.
