Also is there welting between the body and the apron?1931 sports coupe. Thanks HK Last edited by hpk; 01/07/12 10:20 PM. 1931 chevy

This part of apron normally is snug/close to rear member and so not much pull on screws as they fasten apron tight against cross member. No welting between rear of body and apron, rather about a 1/4"-1/2"+ gap. This allows for shimming of body to fit doors properly etc. Welting is between apron and rear fenders though.
