Nope, not that kind of body! :-)
I have a '55 Customeline that I have replaced a bunch of the body panels on. I'm working on the rough body work now. I am having problems with the front of the rear lower quarters. When the panels are pulled to the inner rockers (which are replaced also) the body tapers in instead of being straight from the A post to the bottom of the rear wheel opening. I have measurements of the lower rocker pinch from a fellow on another board that was nice enough to help me. All measurements are good with the exception of the center floor brace to inner rocker. It is 1/4 inch out even though the brace is original. If I have to cut all this back apart to move that area in I also need to know where the B post is supposed to be. It was braced when the rockers were removed but something must have moved.
Can anyone tell me how to make sure I have all this measured correctly on the second try? Is there any resource that gives these body measurements? Surely there was a guide for repairing wreck damage back in the day. I have no original car to look at and take measurements and I am stuck on this project until I can resolve the problem.
Thanks!
