Idaho Brett,
I don't understand you comment "I thought about making a longer block too, but that block in question sits on the rear-frame which is only 3 inches wide.". The width of the subrails has no effect on the rear body blocks as the block fit the long way, unlike the blocks that fit in the body crossmembers. In fact the block could be much longer than the 12" or so I think they are. If I were you I would use the simple to make longer rear body blocks. BTW, if you got the phaeton/tudor rear body blocks when you ordered a coupe or roadster block kit, I would call the parts supplier and them them they have a problem.
