What's the height measurement of a 32 Ford roadster door? Not including the frame section, just the body. I bought a Chevy coupe body with the roof cut off, and enough rust that I've got to cut the whole bottom off. I thought it looked pretty narrow top-to-bottom, and I prefer the way you sit "in" a Deuce, rather than on it like some earlier cars. I figure I can just add a few inches to the patch panels and raise (de-section?) the body. This thing was cheap enough that even if I screw it up, I can just call it practicing, and not worry about it. Knowing the Deuce door height will tell me roughly where I need to be.  Anybody?
