hello, I just picked up a 4 door with the wooden sub frame pretty much gone, I think its a murry as the tops of the door windows have an arch, where can I find a drawing showing the layout and sizes of the sub frame, thanks for any help.

My friend restored a 1930 Murray sedan, and I looked at the subframe left and right long rails. It's a part I wouldn't care to make even with a blueprint in front of me. I might attempt it if I had the actual piece in front of me.

Unfortunately You're not going to find a lot of pictures of wood that will help you with sizes. Layout try, http://fordwood.com/fordors.htm

You may have a problem obtaining original blueprints. Brigg and Murray Body Companies made their own set of prints for the parts they manufactured. There are very few blueprints to be found in the Archives in Dearborn.

Never dealt with these guys but another Model Aer speaks highly of them.
