Default Re: Original 1932 frame and repo body

I took a number of photos and dimensions. The measurements listed on your body photos are from the bottom of the body to the outside of the running board bead which is equal to the bottom of the frame.

It looks to me that the body from rear door opening to the rear of the body is too high. Is the top of the door opening dimension the same as the bottom?

I also show that the rear body to frame is just the thickness of the frame welting. Your picture in post #17 looks to be too great but can't tell well from the picture.

I have about 5mm of gas tank to body gap.
