Thread: questiion on 32 HiBoy

Hey guys I have a question on the relaitionship of the body to the frame. Where the body meets the frame on each side below the doors,does the body hang over the frame an inch or so or does it sit on top so would actually see the frame? This body is not channled and the frame is not pinched. If you have any pics please post them.


Thanks,
Scott

Scott. The very front edge of the cowl is even with the top edge of the frame. This lower edge of the body begins to curve down below the edge of the frame as much as 1inch and continues to overlap the frame as it blends back below the door through the fender opening. Just behind the fender opening, there is a gap between the frame and the body; no overlap here. "Deuce" may have pictures that will show this in his three window build. A lot of the highboys have a filler panel fabricated to fill this gap at the very rear of the body behind the wheel opening when the original tank is not used.

Thanks deuce4papa. This clears up some things I was thinking and looking over on my 32 body this weekend. I would love to see any pictures if someone has any.
