needing 15 measurements

[pappabear1973]

I found a good pic that gives general lengths to the 1915 body. However, I am needing to know the widths like at the fire wall, at the back of the curve on the cowl, at the front if the door, at the back of the body. What is the width of the body at the windshield post. What is the length of the windshield mounting area. How tall is the standard dash( not 32) what is the length of the body from the firewall to the body at the bottom where it begins to curve up. How high doors the arch start on the firewall. What is the radius of the curve(contour) around the firewall. I am debating a c cab instead of a bucket. So then I need to make the entire body and would need as many of these measurements as possible. Thanks for any help

I don't have the measurements but the 1915 is really small compared to the 23.

I have a 1917 and will get some measurements tomorrow . Such as the firewall size and length of cockpit opening, but the contours of the body would be hard to duplicate. I know because I had to rebuild the left side of mine because it was so bad. Better off just buying one. I got the 1917 body from a place in CA.

I am accustomed to scratch building models. I think I know how to create these in scale. Making a mold or buck for a 1:1 I envision being easier. Could be wrong. But I can visualize the process now. Just need some good measurements at the key locations for the plywood cut outs. Then I can do foam board in between them and or chicken wire. Thanks. Jody

This may help a little

Here are some measurements I took off of a Dan Woods 1915 body.

I should have mentioned that one of the previous pictures from the ground and the front cowl was from the top of the frame .

and a few more....

That top picture I have. It is great for many of the height measurements. But only had two length measurements and no width measurements. That's a lot missing to do a body from. Thanks. Those other pictures will help some thank you very much.

How much fiberglass have you worked with and if this is just for one body it's not worth it.

I have not worked with fiberglass yet. Well do it first on a model to help learn the process. If I do a 1915 model t c cab, then it will be very much worth it because I it will be a one of a kind, my design. Thus why I am wanting the measurements. If it was just for a t bucket I would buy one. Thanks
