Re Body Subframes.

We would like to know what chassis you propose using for the two Limousines & Cabriolet bodies which we have bought for underframe experiments.
Will these be on standard 40/50 chassis frames or on the 37 IN wide EACII frame?
The Dashboards must in any case be 36" wide, to suit the subframe.
Please wire reply as we are trying to complete designs in order that you may make 3 subframes for these 3 bodies in question.

40/50
Make sure RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} has correct instructions.
