EARLY FORD HOT ROD BODY SHIMMING: A BEGINNERS GUIDE

[@verngreen8663]

Could you give me information on your seat setup. Love it.

[@calirod]

Sure thing… it’s a GLIDE ENGINEERING seat that I got upholstered locally… it comes with the mounting tabs already then took some c-channel and welded bungs to them then the entire c channel to the floor of the car. Does that help?

[@BillKirkpatrick]

Thanks, I am having trouble with doors fitting too low.

[@calirod]

No problem, glad it was some help

I have a 31 full fendered Model A roadster and I want to maintain the fenders... and I have wood blocks to contend with... Do I shim under the wood blocks?

[@calirod]

Hey Mark, admittedly I have never shimmed a Model A however I would assume that you would need additional wood shims in order to distribute the load across the entire surface. Maybe someone will read this and offer advice.

@@calirod Thanks for the response... I've been going through IronTrap Garage videos from 6 years ago and watched him working on a rough roadster and I got a good idea of what I need to do.

Very welcome, hope you got what you needed and you are all set!

Wescott's Auto in Oregon has information on how to shim 32 roadsters

[@calirod]

That is correct, lots of information you can review and take what is needed... I added a link to the video description. Thanks Wally!
