    Hey Guys.
    I am after some measurements of the tub section the bun panels fasten to and the turtledeck attaches to.
    I dont know what this panel is called, but i need to fabricate it along with the turtledeck, tulip panel, beaver panel and decklid.

    I need an overal measurement of its width taken from two spts, its widest point, taken at the top and the most narrow point taken along the bottom. I also need a measurement of the overall height of the panel taken dead centre to its base where it sits flush with the sub rails.

    The measurement of the overall height would be best done from the outside of the panel to avoid the curved section that runs along the bottom of it. E5D32116-BE38-4778-84BF-3D09175C4FE5.jpeg

    Hello, Is it safe to say the tub in the photos is not yours, and you are using it to ask the questions?

    Here's some more pics showing more of the structure, only measurements I saw were the fibergl*** t bucket ones , don't know if any of this helps but it migut help others to figure out what your needing. I have a touring body and a turtle deck from a roadster that I'm going to combine to get a turtle deck roasder....someday, but it's a 1916 or? So it's measurements wouldn't help you .
    Good luck 16738632741666557664920682827473.jpg 16738642639386170080379701757521.jpg 16738639713655558541185811448191.jpg 16738644063325095924941659429834.jpg 16738644373027858168378982021368.jpg 16738640391121515272183033795290.jpg

    Did you get the information you were looking for?
    I have a 26/27 touring car I'd be happy to measure.

    Terry, the Touring seat back is different from the Roadster. I can get the roadster measurements in a bit for him!

    Here's what I came up with. Had to measure from the front of the panel so marked a spot on the hump and pivoted off that point to continu my center measurement from that so may be off a a bit.
