Where do the rubber shims for the body blocks go? Do they go on top or on the bottom of the body blocks? Or maybe both places.

Hello, the rubber pats will go on the lower side of the wood block, on the top of the splash apron. They are also used to shim the body for the door opening and cowl to hood fit. Do a search on body block and should be past posts that may help you out. There also should be frame webbing between the frame and the side splash aprons .it is available in 25 foot rolls, and starts at between front of fenders and frame continue between frame and side apron and ends just slightly past end of apron.
