Body blocks
 

I am in need of the first set of body wood blocks for the frame of my 1930 model a Tudor. I see that most suppliers all sell them but unfortunately they sell them as complete sets only. I just need the first right and left. If anyone knows where they are available please let me know

If you have the old ones for a pattern, make your own.
I’m thinking there’s a blue print out there somewhere, but don’t have that info.

Mine are missing(not installed by previous owner) The second link would be ideal to make one but it is for a 28/29 and as I understand the 30/31 is different Thanks for the response

Try Ricky Hite at https://www.classicwoodproductsllc.com/ He sold me a couple of blocks I needed for my 31 Roadster a few years ago. Even brought them to Hershey so I could pick them up there.

I recently discovered that my 30 coupe cowl is actually a 30 tudor or pickup. The body blocks are in tough shape, but sound enough for me to use them as a pattern to make new ones. If it would help, I can take multiple photos and measurements and send them to you. I'm in the Christmas tree business so I can't do it right away, but give me a couple weeks and I can. Let me know

Just finished new ones out of oak. Do you still need the dimensions/details?

Russell,
If you are still out there, i would be interested in a pattern or sizes. I need them also. I can easily make them. that is if you still have the old ones.
Thanks
Ben

I believe he may be an active Barner, suggest that you PM him.
