    Hello,
    Building my Roadster almost from nothing but with care about details.I would like it to look original.
    I know there are many posts asking for dimensions and sometime it can be annoying.
    Could someone please make measurments for me ( bending angles would be awesome ) + width of the whole part...detailed pictures are also very welcome.
    Here are couple of pictures from my build. Parts made completly from scratch:
    Thank you in advance!

    I have a brand new set of United Pacific trunk side gutters that I haven't installed yet. I can't help you with bending angles but maybe I could trace the outline on some paper and mail it to you. this would give you the contour outline. I could post some details pics and measurements too. Those parts look outstanding!

    That would be great !
    I realy want to be so close to original as possible. My build will be traditional style i think early 40`s ...painted black of course.
    Thank you for kind words about my hand made parts. I realy love working with metal.

    The height of the channel is about 0.7" overall but tapers to about 0.5 - 0.625 at the end as it curves down at the back. IMG_4742.JPG

    The channel is only about 1.25" it varies as the top edge that gets hidden behind the quarter is quite uneven. You'll see this on the tracings. IMG_20221127_160215190.jpg

    Amazing work ! Great fabricating skills that you have there.
    I am guessing that your avatar is also your own handiwork ?
    Is this going to be the build thread or can we find that elsewhere ?
    Thanks for posting.
