Question- RE Mounting The Tudor Body to the Frame
In the A parts catalogs they show frame welting and mounting block pads.
Question: Do you need both? It's my understanding that the frame welting is for squeaking, but it your using the rubber pads as shims for door alignment it would seen there's no need for the special frame welting. Thoughts??? Thanks, Mark |

Frame welting goes between the frame and fenders and splash aprons. The rubber pads go between the splash aprons and body.

Re: Question- RE Mounting The Tudor Body to the Frame
As job noted the location useage, yes use both. I suggest you get your radiator and hood alignment nailed down. Shimming and location of the body on the frame and radiator are key. It can be a2 hour Job or 20 hours.
You will need your tank and cowl band on place along with all welting in shell and coal . Best of luck Larry Shepard |

Door fit is also a big consideration. It's best to make sure your frame is straight & square before putting the body on. The guys that built these cars had nice straight stuff to work with but that was a one shot deal. The cars are never quite as new & straight ever again.

Re: Question- RE Mounting The Tudor Body to the Frame
All, thanks for the feedback on the frame welting.
Would't the body square up if the holds in the frame and body have not been altered once you get the body bolts in? Where would you check for squareness from, LF to RR mount holes and RF to RR mounting? This would be pretty tough unless the body was suspended in air given all the obstructions in between for a measure tape. Also, wouldn't you want to get the body set correctly then adjust the radiator? Thanks. |
