Thread: 30 Model A Fordor Body Help

Tweet

I just phoned my Kid to ask him this question, as he built his '29 first as the Fordor it was, but then he modified it into a RPU. He says no, they are totally different, and in fact the Fordor had no metal subframe, only wood. What he did to his was fasten it to a plywood platform after squaring it up, and then he built an inner framework out of steel tubing to replace the rotten wood.

He said he would be very surprised if the Tudor subframe would fit, as the contours of the body are different.

Here are some shots of how he fastened his down and framed it with steel.
