'32 frame measurement

[firerod]

Anyone have a '32 frame handy to measure the center of the radiator mount hole to the center of the first firewall mount hole. Thanks.

Measured on an uncut, undamaged frame stored in my basement- Sorry, it shows correctly on my screen but I cannot rotate it to post here.

Not sure if this would help...I can make a more ledge-able copy if needed...

Here is a portion of the Wescott '32 frame drawing which can be found here: http://www.wescottsauto.com/SubIndexes/Techindex.html

Looks like 32 3/4". Thanks guys.

Here you go Fordors, all level and everything.

Looks like 32 3/4". Thanks guys.

FWIW: That looks to me like that dimension is rad hole to body mount hole.

Not to split hairs and to add to the confusion, the master print holes add up to 32.53125 or 32 and 17/32".

Correct. The first firewall mount hole is the 3/8" hole 2 1/2" in front of the 1/2" hole which is used to adjust the cowl and door to the B pillar.

Thanks JSeery, I became computer challenged when I was forced into Windows 10. Never had this trouble before with editing and even finding where the heck stuff is.

Thanks for the help. I wanted to double check my front cross member was in the right place. It seems like my grille shell needs to move forward a little on the bottom to make room for the hood. My frame matches the dimensions exactly, need to figure out how to make a little room.

LOL, I use windows 10, but took a little bit to get accustom to it. MS Office Photo software is what I use for about everything. It is an old MS Office version, 2007, but I don't want to pay to upgrade it.

To double check your front crossmember, from the front of the frame to the centerline of the crossmember radiator hole is 13 and 27/32" according to the blueprint.
