Question about my roadster

Hello Group,
I recently purchased a 32 Roadster with a TCI chassis that was started and the former owner was unable to complete My questions are, there is not any metal or wood supports built into this body, does anyone have any pics of before and after of the interior....like how the tunnel, and firewall looks and what type of reinforcement is used?Also what are alot of ppl using for seats?
I have some pictures I wil have uploaded later.

Thanks for all your help in advance!

Scott, we have a club member here at CHR his name is Kitz he lives here in Austin.Give him a P M wake up call he is building a 32 roadster.He has plenty of info.to share.He might even invite you over. Good Luck

I know some of the body mfgrs.have steel reinforcing inside the fiberglass.In my case the 34 Coupe I built was reinforced with steel on the inside skin.

here are 2 pics of what i have.. The trunk area does not have any extra reinforcement either.

These photos were taken off the Wescott Fiberglass 32 roadster page.

Your new body is one of the " lower end " fiberglass bodies on the market IMHO. If you are resourceful and talented, it can also turn out nice. I prefer to buy a nicer body ( like a Brookville or a Wescott ) ... if I were to buy a repro body. Properly painted and prepared a Wescott is so close to a Henry Ford roadster body ... it is very difficult to tell just by looking ... it is a repro ... and that's coming from a man who has owned a real Henry roadster for 30 years.

Thanks Don for the heads up on kitz. I will shoot him a pm. Deuce, thanks for the pics. they wil help alot. I fiqured the body was not the "best quality" but in the deal I got a very nice TCI chassis,currie 9 inch complete with disc brakes, a new drop axle with new brakes also. I filled the bed of my truck with boxxes of new parts ;)
