1932 Ford Subrail Frame Extensions
Are the Subrail frame extensions the same for all body styles? More specifically, the 32 coupe, roadster and the 3 window? I know that the 32 3 window was manufactured by Murray, but did they use components from the Ford plant to build the subrail extensions in order to sit-down upon the standard frame?
I'm trying to rebuild a channeled 3 window. Thanks for your response. |

The 3-window has a different shape back there. I really doubt the rear extensions are the same.

Just build your floor to support the back panel and corners of the body. Given you are channeling the body IF you had originals or accurate reproductions you would be cutting them up anyway.

Note that Brookwille 3-window bodies do not have the original type floor from below the front seat rearward to the end of the body. Instead they used their already-existing roadster, standard coupe, sport coupe, and cabriolet floor.

Re: 1932 Ford Subrail Frame Extensions
Right! Most guys want to get rid of the stock floor in lieu of the roadster floor in order to obtain more room in the chassis area below. I'm just trying to get back to GROUND ZERO on this body........then move forward with the project. Interesting all of the "early" and "late" things that can go on with these bodies. I'm trying to build this as an early body with the oil can recess in the firewall, dog-bone visor brackets, more screws in the garnish moldings, etc.
