Question about Body Blocks on '29 Roadster
 

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.

I bought a Block Kit to replace the Body Blocks on my '29 Roadster. The kit is advertised to be for a Roadster or a Phaeton. The blocks at the most aft position in the kit appear to be correct for a Phaeton, but the assembly instructions show a longer and different block for a Roadster in that position.

Is there anything wrong or damaging to look out for if I used the Phaeton Block as opposed to finding or making a Roadster Block? Or is there a kit more appropriate for a Roadster that I should buy? THANKS.

The body block's I used for a coupe came with the longer rear block, I would think the shorter one would be o.k. The longer block was introduced later in production to lessen the chance of the block punching through the subrail, fat chance of that happeening in this day and age. Welcome to the Ford Barn.
