Hey guys,

Season's greetings to you all.

I'm soon to be collecting a '29 phaeton body of Australian origin. The wooden subrails are long gone and the body is coming with Brookville replacement 'rails. I've only had a '31 coupe and a '30 tudor beforehand, and I never had to work on the subrails of either, so this is new to me. I'm guessing that the subrails for a '29 phaeton are identical to the 'rails for a '29 tudor, but can anyone confirm this for me? As I'll need to buy a set of body-blocks, I'm also guessing that the same rule will apply, and that I need those for a '29 tudor?

The body will be coming 'flat-packed' so expect lots of questions in the near future as I get to work piecing it all together!

Thanks in advance.
