Hot Rods 30-31 A on 32 Rails

Can somebody answer this question. Do you need to pinch 32 rails to get a 30-31 A coupe to fit properly?

 

Do a search, this just came up again a week or so ago, shouldn't be hard to find.

I pinched mine by the way.

Depends on what you mean by "properly."

no pinch here... just a modified cowl panel and subrail nose.

 

Compare the frame drawings on the Wescott site.

Moose did a good write up on how he did the frame for his model A coupe.
The thread is here somewhere.

 

This is the most 'PROPER' introduction of a '30 onto a '32 frame I've seen yet.
Noting the curve of the reveal, the lower cowl rocker bead parallels it in a factorylike manner.
This Highboy looks like a FoMoCo mid-year design!
(reminds me of the detailed 'Product Identification' on the Miller-Ford Indy cars of the 'thirties)

 

there's some info here

Yes! They have convinced me that I need to do the lower cowl channel on my '30 Roadster.
