I'M WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD GET THE MEASUREMENTS WHERE THE RADIATOR SUPPORT BRACKETS MOUNT ON A 32 FORD (FIREWALL SIDE) UP FROM THE FRAME AND THE DISTANCE APART LEFT TO RIGHT.

THANKS, JOEL (cdanman) VAN BRUGGEN


you can tune a carb, but you can't tuna fish :-)

I'm the last guy to be giving out dimensions seeing how I'm new to this game, but you didn't get any response on your question so here goes. If you saw a guy walking aroung Columbus or Louisville with a yardstick, tape measure and a note pad in his hand, that was me. One of the measurements that I did get was off of an Outlaw car and it was the distance between the radiator support rods where they fasten to the firewall. It is 26.5". I can't help you out on the distance up from the frame, but if memory serves me right I think the rods are close to being level or an inch or so down from the cowl. Hope this helps. Good luck..

Joel,

I can give you those dimensions. Just give me some time to get my nerve up to go out to the barn this morning.

Joel,

The spacing between the two bars at their centerline is 10 1/4 inches. The distance from the top of the frame to the bottom of the bars is 27 inches. I'm going to e-mail a couple pictures I just took which might help. I have an Outlaw Performance body.

MERRY CHRISTMAS,
JOEL
