body mounting issue

[Doug Black]

I am mounting my 29 Tudor body on the frame. I put the splash apron first then mounting block. Should the wood block be that thick that there is a gap between the rails and splash apron? Seems to me the wood to thick as it sits across the body. Any help would be great.

the wood blocks get mounted up in the body, there are rubber pads that attaches to the bottom of the blocks. if done right they should only hold the body up about 5/16" off the splash aprons.

when you say rails do you mean the sub frame of the body?

Don't forget the frame welt.

i use adhesive to hold all the wood blocks in place on the underside of the body with the bolts through the holes prior to dropping the body down.
yes there is a gap between the body and frame
