26 Coupe Body Blocks
Getting ready to install the body blocks, not sure where they go I can figure out where a couple go. The ones I'm not sure where the ones that are somewhat thinner and have a grove across the middle. and how many are used? I have 4 about the size of 2x4 with 2 holes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Two go on thier edge in the rear subframe cavity over the rear frame crossmember, the other two are oriented flat between the body and the frame at the next mounting bracket forward of the rear crossmember, the will stick out on the side to provide mounting for the splash shield.

Re: 26 Coupe Body Blocks
I did a keyword search on the old forum and came up with, what may be a helpful thread from February, 2010 (if the old forum links still work) when I posted a post in regards to the right and left rear blocks that were larger than the originals (that, fortunately, were still in place in my T) that In using the originals as a pattern I had to substantially re-cut them in order to get them to fit in place of the original blocks in my 1926 coupe.
