The Ford Barn

I'm trying to get my chassis finished before the body comes back to the shop. I know the webbing sits on top of the rail starting at the firewall but how far back does it go? I know that the very back corners sit on a rubber pad not webbing.

Thanks

I have always ran the webbing from under the firewall all the way back thru the rear body hole, probably not historically correct but it has worked for me.

Originally only from the firewall to the end of the horizontal section of the frame before the kick up. The last two body-to-frame attachments on each side were through rubber pads, not webbing. The thickness of the pads was 1/8" for the first one and 1/4" for the rearmost pad.
