Does anyone know if you are supposed to install wood blocks between the body and frame when building a glass street rod?
Part 6: Install Body To Frame Pads & Blocks
Install wood body to frame spacer blocks to body if used. Most 1926-31
steel sub framed cars and 1932-40 Pickups use hardwood spacer blocks.
Most Wescott 1928-31 bodies are designed to use modified original style
wood blocks. The Wescott 1926-27 Roadster, 29 Hiboy, and 1931 coupe
floorpans do not use wood blocks.
Reproduction blocks can be easily modified to fit Wescott bodies or blocks
can be made up from “scratch”. Place the body upside down and sand the
top of the block for rough fit with the bottom of the floorpan. We use a
36 grit disc on a 5” rotary sander. Scuff sand the block mount area on the
floorpan and glue using an epoxy or other suitable adhesive. When the glue
has hardened, sand the block until flush with the lower edge of the body.
Glue or staple 3” strips of chassis welt to the block at body mount location.
1932-1934 Passenger cars used a rubberized fabric pad between the body
and frame. We recommend using a continuous strip of “chassis welt”.
1935-36 Passenger cars used rubberized cork and rubber body to frame
pads. 1937-48 Passenger cars used rubber body to frame pads. 1940
Convertibles used a thick (appx. 1/4”) steel pad with a thin rubber pad. This
type of rigid mount at the cowl and door post is necessary for good door
alignment on Convertibles. Rubber pads at these mount points simply allow
too much flex. -
