    I just picked up a '29 roadster body (very rough and in pieces) with a original '32 frame. I wan't to build a traditional late 40's era car. I know, so does everyone. Please post your pics and advice. Thanks in advance.

    Not a 28-29, but a 30-31 on 32 rails. I made the rails fit the car so it sits like a 32, slightly overlapping the frame rails. Bought the custom made rear sub rails from Riley Automotive in Colorado (hamb member) which made the job 100x easier.

    Firerod,

    Can you post a picture which shows the brake pedal / master cylinder arrangement on your car? It appears that the master cylinder is on the p***enger side facing forward. What is the linkage arrangement to allow that to be done?

    Thanks,

    FritzJr
