Topic: 34 Ford Roadster dimesnions

  I am new to this site and respectfully request any help the collective community can provide.
I am building a 1934 Ford roadster that I will land speed race at Bonneville, and hopefully establish a record around 225mph. I have a copy of the 33-34 restoration manual (Hellings, C.E.) and need additional information. The body for the class of car must be an original or exact reproduction (which I have), with all panels in the OEM orientation with respect to each other. I would like to know if there is a source to either obtain original top level assembly drawings that would show the relationship of the hood/cowl, radiator grille and rear fenders to the body. One rule allows for the addition of a 3-inch stretch to the hood/cowl which will require custom fabrication. Also, is there a source for blueprints for same parts?

  You might call Wescott's in Boring , Oregon 1-800-523-6279 or Steve's Auto Restoration (SAR)503-665-2222 in the Portland, Oregon area.Both should have the dimensions.

  Had a very long discussion with Karl Wescott and he said to look for original Ford sales literature that might show the front and side views with dimensions. The research continues.
