Default 28/29 front body block pads

I am getting ready to install the body on my 28 coupe. Most of the rubber pads are simple enough to figure out where they go and are hidden from the outside. The front rubber pads are different. They are longer and are a little odd shaped. I have some rubber material with cording inside the rubber I am making the pads from. I am attaching a picture of some pads from Snyder's catalog as a reference. Snyder's pads look a little crude, but maybe that is the way Ford made them. The second picture is a cardboard pattern I made that looks better that Snyder's pads. The question I have for someone with a 28/29 model A is; can you see the front pads from outside the car? I am concerned that the pads would be visible between the splash aprons and body in the cowl area. Could someone post a response on how there pad looks after the body was installed. I am wondering how much the pad should be cut back from the outside edge of the cowl and the A pillar so as not to show, but to still do their job.
Thanks for any help.
