I'm trying to straighten the 'chin' and pan at the bottom of the radiator on my 39 Master 85. The chin was pretty crushed but I've got it back in shape but I'm not sure how much to straighten the radiator pan. I've taken a picture of the measurement 'front to back' that I need but I'm not sure how to post it.

OK I think I've sorted this out. The measurement I need is from the front lip of the radiator pan to the back lip as can hopefully be seen in this picture of the underside of the pan.

I have a fairly good 1939 lower front radiator pan, and measuring from the bottom of the rear lip to the centre of the lower attach holes for the chin, is approximately 10 1/2 inches.

I cannot open your picture link , it probably needs to be uploaded to a picture hosting site like phototbucket , before it can be linked into the text here.

Measuring the same as shown in the picture, I measure 11 1/2 " ,
which is the same as your measurement.
Thanks Tiny for the correct linking of the picture.

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to fit together parts from 3 different cars and none of the parts were straight to begin with so it has been a bit of a puzzle.
