I am in the process of straighting the frame on my 1931 Tudor.on searching for the frame dimensions they only show dimensions for 1929. Are the frame dimensions the same from 1928 to 1931?

yes they are the same. just do not use the out rigger at the rear of the cowl. the top of the frames are a plain. watch at the front cowl bolt for a sag. and if you use the bolt holes for cross measuring you will be just fine. when straitening the frame with the body on and the use of frame gauges you need to set a center line.

How can the section at the front crossmember be the same for the 28,29 and the 30,31?
Are they not different because of the higher radiator in the 30,31? Jack

The front cross member is different where the radiator mounts not
the frame rails.
