Re: Body to frame welting...
That's an interesting photo that Jim posted above - appears to be a very early chassis - even looks to have the straight side rails on the frame?

Re: Body to frame welting...
Good observation! Yes, the photo is essentially pre-production. Things were changing very rapidly "on the fly' at that time.

Re: Body to frame welting...
I have not studied this at all, but would it be possible that the 'frame' welting was actually pre-attached to the fender / running board prior to installation??
Just a thought!

Why go to all that trouble when you have gravity on your side and simply setting it down on the frame is simple. They weren't trying to slide the shields under the body as is commonly done during a restoration. They were lowering the entire fender and shield assembly straight down from above. If they were going to "stick" the webbing to anything it would have been the frame where alignment is obvious.

The only difference I can see from A-16540-A and A-16540-B is when Ford specified that the the "A" be the strip with "round" holes and the "B" was the "strip" with "elongated" holes. This change was implimented on October 15, 1929 according to the Part Releases. Pluck |

Re: Body to frame welting...
Does the welting on the 1932 Ford extend front the front fender through the fire wall to the rear of the gas tank in one continuous length?

You'll need to ask on the Early V8 forum.
