    Does anyone have a diagram of the A pillar chassis to body blocks shape and location? I duplicated a 29 frame except I extended it 6" and used 2x3 boxed rails to house my nailhead engine.
    I fastened the Tudor sedan body in all four corners. Both doors are sagging so I want to properly block and shim the A pillars first but I don't know what shape to make the blocks or how to place them. Any diagrams would be appreciated. Thx

    I thank you...
    I used 1" rubber "blocks in all four corners. I just blocked the A pillars as shown in the above diagram. Using a small hammer to drive in wedges under the A pillars. No difference. The hinge pins are tight.

    The cowl blocks are shimmed front or back...
    shim the front bolt and the rear of the door drops, if you shim the rear bolt it raises the rear of the door... henry's adjustment... HIH.
