G,day from oz I have a 26/27 ford roadster cowl and doors.

Hope this is clear enough... 1.overall length 2.length of rear guard recess 3. hight of rear guard recess 4. height of rear quarter base Thanks

This is the subframe. I have a nice uncut unmolested original 26 roadster that is dis***embled. Need anything elsePM me.
Hey, you might try this: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/xq/asp...qx/Product.htm It was posted on my thread, thought it might help you.
Nick, fill out your location info a little better. Someone local to you might be able to help you out with seeing a steel rear for yourself..... And try to do an intro in the intro section.
thanks BELLM... thats a great help i will start on the mockup this weekend....i will post some picks when i get it done.....that 26 roadster sounds great... its a pain living on the other side of the planet.... by the time you import a car, it ends up costing more than the thing is worth....
the speedway motors website had some useful dimensions on their gl*** 26/27 roadster... i will combine them with BELLM's measurements... should give me an accurate starting point....thanks for the help sodas38
