The Ford Barn

Can anybody suggest a source for instructions on how everything on top of the frame goes together? I'm talking about frame welt, body blocks, splash shields, front fenders, radiator splash apron, etc. What is the sequence for installing these? I'm hoping to get my motor, transmission and all installed before winter. I have the first four volumes of How to Restore Your Model A, Les Andrew's vol. 1, and Model A Judging Standards. I dismantled "Bessie" five years ago and thought I could put everything back the way it was. Ha!

I would like to see that too! I can also imagine it would vary greatly on year and model. There are probably some generalities that would go for most body styles.

The welting goes on the frame first. Then the splash aprons and the front fenders and runningboards. Then the body blocks with the rubber against the aprons. Since you have the juding standards check the way the bolts go into the fenders and running boards. Some years the bolt heads are on the fender side sometimes there reversed. Hope this helps.
