Default KUBE- YOUR HELP PLEASE: Body Braces
Hi,
Back in January 2012 you answered a request I posted for info on body braces for a 1936 convertible. You said that your braces were adjustable and on the car. Can you describe the adjustable pieces and the brackets that you made to attach to the pillars? Photos also would be great.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce, I am embarrassed to admit it, but I forgot all about that.
Unfortunately, I have removed them from the '39 convertible I am building and put them away until I begin the next project.
I am so very sorry.
If I could draw at all, I would make you a sketch. If you promise not to laugh too hard, I will. It's a pretty simple jig.

Deal. However, it can and will be worse then your drawings. Trust me on this.
Remind me PLEASE in a few days. I have commitments through Sunday that won't allow a moment sideways.

Once again, my apologies for forgetting the photos.
