Default Frame welting

Getting ready to put the welting on my 29 Business Coupe, can someone tell me where it starts and ends on the frame?

Still not clear, on a 29 Coupe, where on the frame does it start and where on the frame does it stop?

Are you looking for the purist way or the non-purist way?

Very front of the frame horns to the end of the splash shields.

Tape the ends and let it set for a day before punching the holes. I found it tends to shrink a little after it's unrolled.

While mine is not a coupe, my 31 Tudor's welting runs from the front to rear, ... Full length of the frame. I'm going to be adding mine soon as well as I just finished making her a rolling chassis again.

I have the self adhesive backed version. That's what's on there now and from what I have read, ... it makes the job 10x easier.

Regards
Bill

Bill your car, -your rules, but originally the anti-squeak only was under pieces of sheetmetal that were bolted directly to the frame. The body used wood (-with rubber sheeting tacked to it) to prevent squeaks. There is not anything beneficial to running the welting the full length of the frame.

Brent,

I understand that.

I figured since they give you 20", ... enough for both frame rails to be covered their entire length, why not.

Regards
Bill
