Bill,

The bodies on the 1922 and 1928 Sunshine kits are a foot too short in
length. And of course while the IM body is the correct length it has
an intermediate height to the eaves of 12'9" (not the 12'11" for the
post war rebuild or the 12'7" for the 1928 design as built). That's
actually good news in a way as it makes it easier to shorten the body
for an accurate 1928 car, if you alter or ignore some other detail
issues... or as Greg has noted previously, you simply can consider it
loaded to capacity, compressing the springs by 2" ;^)

I am not sure what you are referring to here Greg. Do you you mean
in length or height? I have built all of these kits in multiples
and they appear dimensionally correct to me. Can you say more.

Bill,

Aren't the Sunshine Kits too short?
