Tom_Overfield Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 OK,,this is a long shot but here goes.Does anyone have photos of a 40/41 3 window coupe in the area of the lower inside section, behind the door post? I am in the process of a major project and that part of the original car is totally gone.Any help greatly appreciated.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_Overfield Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Afternoon Rick,Yes indeed, that would help a ton. All I really need is to see how the area between the frame floor and the body of the car appears. This would be the area behind the door post. A photo from the bottom would be fine if you could do that, from inside would work also of it is visible, but I doubt it is.ThanksTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith L. Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Perhaps this might help. I tried attaching photos. but who knows where they went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Overfield Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks Keith, I downloaded those also, but they really don't show what I need to see. I need to see the actual sheetmetal and how it looks from the floor pan to the inside edge of the body, just aft of the door opening. I am grafting the body of a 3 window onto a donor car which was a 41 sedan 4 door, and the donor car does not have this area as it had a door instead.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rickomo1 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 sorry i hate it when they want me to work will get pics today and post them for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rickomo1 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 tom i dont know if this is really going to help but here are a couple of pictures. the area you are talking about is covered by a false wood floor and has thin wood up the side of the back to hold the carpet. as the area will be hidden you could do what you want as long as you leave clearance for the false floor.

Tom_Overfield Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks Rick, appreciate the effort. Went to the swap meet in Lancaster, Pa.and met V-12 Bill. I think I know what that area needs now as he drew a diagram of the area.Thanks again,Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith L. Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Keith here,Tom, I know that this is a little late in coming, but I drove over to St. George from Vegas to visit my "41 3 window in storage. I thought of you and your request.. I hope this one of the interior behind the door post is still of some value.I also shot the original leather driver door panel. This was an upgrade for my car in '41. Perhaps it might be of value for anyone wanting to know the pattern for leather upgrade 3 window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Overfield Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hey Keith,Thanks a ton for the photos, that helps a lot. I'll start on the 3 window as soon as I get the paint on my 41 Continental Cabrolet which should be next week hopefully.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
