Rooster Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Can someone with a series 40 sedan do me a favour please. I would like to know the measurement across the width of the front cowl where the vertical section of the hood sits ( just where the hood belt line chrome trim sits )Also need from bottom of front door to top of roof.Thanks.

Rooster Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Good question Grant. Holden body is what I'm primarily after, but Fisher measurements also would be handy, even to just compare differences.Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Holden or Fisher body?Good question Grant. Holden body is what I'm primarily after, but Fisher measurements also would be handy, even to just compare differences.Are 95% certain both Holden or Fisher will be same. I think Fisher front sheet metal and rear fenders/guards was used on Holden.Hopeflly Danny (Holden) & Grant (fisher) should be able to measureImage below is a 1939 RHD Holden Buick series 41 Edited March 17, 2010 by 1939_buick (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danhar1960 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 1065 at the firewall face.1280 at the bonnet to body line.1340-50 from bottom of door to top of roof.They are +- a mill or 2. It was a bit awkward to measure on my own.What you up to Rooster ??Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think the seller was on drugs with the first listed price :confused: then when he came to, changed it to the current price. Still too much money. I tried to convince one of our members to make a more "balanced" offer and go out and strip it of all valuable parts. But he seems not interested in doing that.
