Finally got some door rockers and headers for my 1928 2d sedan.  ;D . The rockers are self explanatory, But the door headers on the other hand a different story.

These are aftermarket without door limit guides, combined with my body not having any wood and not knowing where they go other then on top of the door opening. im in the dark...

Does anyone have pictures of their placement. Ive looked every where i could and couldnt find any clear pictures.

I have a 1930 2 door sedan that the wood has been replaced in, would a picture help?  Where exactly do you need a picture of/

i have my door headers that need to be installed, and with no real way of telling how they went. i dont know how or if im over looking something so simple since i cant judge by wood because i didnt get any with the body.

the rockers are perfect fit and installed and no other way to install. ill take some pictures when i get home of the headers...

I don't know if this will help but here's something I copied from the Fisher body manual....

I have 32 two door sedan, I replaced all the wood with steel. When I removed the header in the door the header cover had three screws in the front arch of the opening and on the inside and under the drip rail it was tacked to the wood. When I put them back in I welded nuts on steel support where the three screws were and used panel adhesive and self tapping screws on the edge under the drip rail. When the adhesive cured I ground the head of the screws off. On the inside of the opening I  tacked welded it to my steel structure.
