    Hey guys - maybe one (or more) of you guys can help me out here. This winter I'll be helping Craig (legend544) out with another project - a 28 model a roadster pickup. This one's gonna be cool too , traditional style and really clean ... You'll see ;) . pics to come as we roll along. Right now we're mocking up the body on the frame to make sure the patches are built right , doors open and close ... All that jazz. We have all the wood pieces and stuff , just no 100% definitive diagram as to where all the body mount wood goes . I have looked all over, and found pics of the wood pieces , exploded views of sedan bodies and their wood, but no pics of which wood pieces go where as far as body-to-frame goes. A couple pieces are self-explanitory , but we'd rather know for sure. This is no half-***ed build , and we'll be the first to admit, we've built a bunch of cars together but we're not model a experts :) . With all the model a builds on the H.A.M.B. someone has to know for sure .
    Anyone got pics, or a lead for us ?

    Thanks in advance

    Awesome , thanks ! I believe the blocks we have to go in position 5 are a bit different , but I'll have a good look at it when I go over in the next couple days. I kinda recall a notch and some kinda taper ?

    Now I can tell Craig to buy that book too ;)
