here's proof of how different frames can be...I never checked the width of my US built frame, and have fitted the body and the fuel tank.....and the spreader bar i bought at Toowoomba is the right width by the books....my frame is about 3/8ths too narrow......."such is life"
Back to project sedan...looks like it needs just a bit of tidy up here and there, and plenty of spares. I want to print all your ideas on what I should do with this old girl...send your suggestions to greg@comstar.com.au and we'll all have a laugh!
I love  "aussie explanations" and "aussie assumptions"....like.."comes with a ton of spares!"....well, almost...maybe a half ton....and this included parts of a VW...HQ..EA..maybe some old truck fuel tank, some perspex..some roof guttering...floor pan from a Skoda?.....I'm still wondering why I thought the spares were to suit this....hahaha.
Maybe I should drag out the 33/34 frame and start on it as well.........I need a closed cab body and bed for this...flattie powered, on vintage rego, and no fenders.....please send parts....

OK..at the Toowoomba swap meet, I may have let it slip that I had a new project sedan at home...well, here are some photos to show it so far......someone told me I had to get it  "in the weeds"..so I did. 
I was thinking of going to the "basic" interior look...and...."hello!"  I think I've done it!

longer wheelbase should make it handle better.
