HELP!! I need model A roadster dimensions

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Ed, Feb 20, 2006.

  1. I'm building an A based body from a 30/31 roadster cowl and gas tank at school. I need the roadster door dimensions to base the rest of the body off of. I know the info is on here but I don't have time to go searching. I'll post pics as soon as I figure out how. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. Ed
     
  2. Sorry, I posted this twice. Don't mind me, I'm still an FNG!! Ed

    There is a good scale drawing with dimensions from the Model A salesman's book that has been reproduced in 5 or so Model A resto books--someone here must have one and a scanner. I'd offer a xerox by mail, but I must be a year behind on stuff I've offered to send people because my wife is in the hospital. Somebody here has that pic--side-on line drawing, lots of measurements.

    I'll try to give you the door dimensions... Looking at the driver's door: bottom side to side= 231/2", top side to side at beltline =23 3/4", right verticle ( handle side)=25 7/8" , verticle center of door= 25 3/4", now this gets difficult. if you look at the drawings above you'll see a peak at the top of the door(hinge side ) where it meets the lower stanchion area,this is 26" at peak.
    And you thought the doors were square!

    And remember Model A doors overlap body at rear--they do not fit entirely into edge of opening like later doors.
     
  8. Thanks everyone! this is going to help a great deal!! This is exactly what I needed. Once I figure out this picture posting thing I'll let everyone see what I'm doing. Thanks again Ed
