I need some pix or diagram for installing a wood kit on a 1929 phaeton...can't find a place for all the pieces...any help wood be greatly appreciated
 
Send me a PM to remind me and I can email you a bunch of pictures of the 29 Paheton with original wood and no upholstery.
 
Maybe some of these will help?? (Overlook the shims behind the risers as they are only there temporarily to brace the sheetmetal during block-sanding operations.)

gr888 thanx to all of you....big help..... have you all found you have to do alot of fitting and bowing wood on the tack strips on back of seats???
 
Brent, re your temp blocks, I had a problem a few years ago.

It was on an 81 falcon boot lid.

Was blasted/bondoed/guide coated/wet rubbed and not until the final coat of clear went on, did it look like hail damage.

Took a while to figure out that every dimple down from top corresponded with every dab of adhesive that was between the inner boot frame and underside of skin.

When rubbing, the boot lid was being pushed down and the adhesive dabs pushed up..the bondo skimmed level and then wet rubbed and the guide coat said all was good, but when the pressure of rubbing was ended the adhesive pulled the skin down at each and every adhesive dab..

A model A is a lot stronger, but care has to be taken where temp blocks are put when rubbing with any more than light pressure..

Or an imprint of the block will cause grief.
