32 Phaeton subframe pics needed

[1932tub]

I have a 32 Aussie Phaeton that I am about to start to steel out. I would like to get some pics of original US steel sub frame and floor structures.
From what I have been able to see from some pics I am thinking that they are similar to the roadster subframe from the seat foward so pics of a roadster
around that area would be good as well.

Not sure if it is the same, but if you go to the aaca website and look in the restoration project forum. There is a guy there who posted a lot of photos of a stripped down tudor. It was a while ago so you may need to scroll down quite a bit.

You're right, 1932tub, that forward of the 'B' pillar the body side rail and floor structure of a North American-manufactured phaeton is the same as roadster and unique from that point rearward. Below are a couple of photos to give you a general idea of the top side of these two areas of a phaeton's floor. I can provide some additional photos in a couple of weeks time when I am next at my hobby building, but unfortunately only of the top side as the body is mounted on its frame.

Thanks guys

David, those sort of pics are just what I am looking for, I have the panel from under the seat which looks the same but the rest is wood. Look foward to more pics. Thanks again

If you are after images of the wood, try Roy Nacewicz. www.fordbolts.com he makes them (not sure if he makes the Phaeton ones, but worth a contact).

Thanks Chisel, I guess the seat riser for the Phaeton is the same or similar as the Roadster?
The other thing I have noticed is that the subframe on the Phaeton as it curves up over the chassis in the wheel arch area sits directly onto the chassis rail as opposed to my 5 window which sits in space over the fuel tank.
I will take some pics of the car this weekend ( its still as found ) and post them on this thread.

32Tub:
My phaeton is mounted on it's frame. I will see if I can get a couple pictures from underneath.

Can any one give me the width of the ' top hat ' sub frame that runs across the car
just before the front seat?
It appears from the photos here that there is a second similar cross member that supports the rear of the seat pan and ties the center door pillars together, width of this one would be good as well
Thanks

The underside,

So when the fuel sender access hole is on an angle it's a late body and if it's perpendicular to the centerline, it's an early body?

 

[DavidG]

It's the other way around; angled access hole was early and perpendicular access hole was later.

Just testing Dave,

And the SN for that Phaeton is
