Mine were to wide at the rear fenders but the boards that I took off the car were the Argentine junk.I'll have to loosen the rear fenders to get them lined up.Lined up perfect at the front.

They fit my 36 conv sedan perfectly... I was really surprised they fit so well without ANY mods to bolt holes, etc! I'm very pleased. I got some of the first sets made so don't know about the latest produced.

Had not purchase 35/36 boards but purchase a pair of 34 boards from Drake and nothing fit. The mounting holes were off so I had to drill new holes in the frame and worst then that, the curve of the board did not match the frame. Had to put spacers to take up the room. Do not understand. If you go to the expense of making dies and presses, why not make them correct.
