28' or 29' on 32' frame?

can anyone tell me how to fit a roadster body on a 1932 frame. also if possible any pics if available or pics of that type of set-up. any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Mike Bishop (H.A.M.B.er = av8) in his book "How to Build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod", Revised Edition, pages 32-34 has a good write-up with pictures. That is the best place to start. Because the '28-'29 body is narrower at the firewall than the '32 most people "pinched" the frame at the firewall.

You will get more info on this if you do a search of the H.A.M.B. archieves. This question has been asked several times since I've been on here (May '05). C9 will tell you a '30-'31 body will fit the '32 frame better than the '28-'29. He's posted pictures on that recently.

Also, the "A" body is flat on the bottom and the '32 frame is not (it has a belly) you will have to fit up a spacer or alter the bottom of the body to fit the top of the frame. Again, do a search here and you will get more info.

Remember to ALWAYS DO A SEARCH FIRST!!!
