does anyone know how much longer a 37 2 door sedan door is then a coupe or 4 door?...also im trying to find the height of a 36 roadster total height of the door...like the total side height and possibly the length of that also...and finally the length of a 36 roadster from the door to the back of the interior...if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it...im just thinking right and trying to decide what will work to get the look i want thanks alot zach
My boss has a 36 roadster. I will try and get a tape on it for you. Its not here so it may not be today.
thanks alot i would really appreciate that...no rush...whenever you get a chance...im really just planning this out now not actually cutting thanks alot zach
So what are you cutting up to make your roadster? The frames are all the same. And which year do you want to know for 35-36 or 37?
The front doors on a 37 4dr sedan are 35" wide, the rear doors are 281/2" at the top and 22" at the bottom due to the wheel well.
if i go through with it i will be cutting up a 37/38 coupe...i think its a 38 cause it has trim.....ive got 3 ideas...#1 chop it as a coupe and roll the roof into the deck like a 39-40...#2 get longer doors and make it a 3 window...would involve lengthening the deck a little i think to make it not look funny...#3 cut it off move the door jam back to fit longer doors...roll the whole edge like a 36 roadster and do a duvall style windsheild and a carson top...all plans would involve a 4 inch section(cut off the bottom) and it i leave it a coupe i want to pie cut across the deck to remove that hump that they have in them...also move and mold the rear fenders inline with the body line...i guess pretty much like that red one that was in hotrod in 52 i think...but not a kink in the roof like that and a stock 37 front end on it i hope that explains it...it all makes sence in my head...so the reason im looking for dimensions is so i can go out and visually figure out which set-up would look best thanks zach
are you looking for total length? I think the only area of difference is the doors, my dad has a '37/38 coupe and a '37 humpback, lemme know where you want me to put the tape and ill get the numbers for you.
thanks for the measurement junkrunner...im just trying to figure out how much longer a sedan is then a coupe..now i can go measure mine tomorrow and see how they compare...mine are in bad shape so thats why im trying to figure out what i wana get to replace them...going this weekend to look for some doors and hopefully a hood thanks zach
flexi...how much different do the rear fenders look on the coupe and sedan...on the models i have they interchange but i donlt think they do in real life?...anything you can see? thanks zach
i ***ume none of them interchange...but thats not a big deal as i would be sectioning the car so the fenders will move so i can just make wheatever i have work...im looking for the 36 roadster door length and length from the door to the back of the interior area thanks zach
