This. I'm thinking the frame will be under the running boards.
I build a 39 Dodge pickup on a Dakota frame that was open wheel. I suspect it may be very close to the width of the 33 Plymouth body at the cowl. The truck is no longer here, and I don't have a lot of detailed pictures of it.
On the 39 truck, everything forward of about 1/2 way between the cowl and the grille shell was outside of the frame rails, and the cowl will probably sit on top of the frame rails, or just outside of the side rails. The grille (my bottom 1/2 of the grille shell was fabricated) will sit inside of the frame rails. The rest of the car will wider then the Dakota Frame. I should note here that if you are running fenders, the exposed frame would be under the fenders. From memory, I believe the Dakota frame, at the cowl location is 34" outside measurement. I do not have a 2 wheel drive frame here to measure.
I'm posting 2 pictures of my 39 Dodge pickup that is on a Dakota frame. In the side view, the cowl appears to sit completely under the frame, but I did add a piece of sheet metal to the lower cab at that point, so it may well just be a single piece of sheet metal covering the frame under the cowl. The 2nd pic is more of a motor shot, but it does show the front spring pockets outside of the hood line. Please notice that this Dakota frame is cut off at the front of the spring pockets and tubing has been added to mount the radiator support and front bumper.
Also, that motor is a 360/5.9 Magnum with factory exhaust manifolds (and EFI), and the grill shell had to be modified so the radiator fit completely inside of the radiator.
