Briggs Four Door Body Types

Posted by Richard Inzana on July 10, 1998 at 12:41:03

Hello,
How can one tell the body type of thier sedan? I ordered and am 1/4 thru installing a wood kit into my 29.It appears the top rails (above the doors) was closer to the top of the door on the origional wood, could it be possible that I have the wrong kit???There is about 1/2-3/4 an inch space. Also what is the easiest way to align the bottom of the doors with the floor/chassis board wood. It appears the doors are rubbing in the rear lower corners. Awhile ago I was told to insert rubber washers between the wood and the chassis, is this correct?? after inserting multiple washers I found no difference in the rubbing. I purchased the complete kit from Chuck and Judy Cubel about four or five years ago. And have since become frustrated tring to install it.
Chuck Cubel identified my car as a Briggs 60C, he explained that the roof is the difference, specifically where the roof material ends, when I purchased my car it had no roof and most of the wood was already missing for the roof.So he may have identified my car incorrectly. Are these guys still in business??
Where does the webbing material get installed?? between the chassis and splash apron or the apron and wood?
Any help is appreciated.Thanks Richard
