That will also give you the wood area to attach the metal gusset for the b-pillar. I have a picture of mine in that area if you email me at tdowling@charter.net I will attach it.

I can not advise you on the woodwork as mine is all steel framed cab with a few small wooden pieces for lining attachment. The doors though "were" wood framed until I got at them. Tony 1938 1/2 ton Hope to drive it before I retire

I have been restoring a 34 sedan from the ground up and have replaced all of the timber; I would think that the rails should be similar to the roadster. Can send you sketches etc., if you think it could help. Do you have an email address?

I'm looking for wood for mine too.... and the back panel and dickie seat. I am in Brisbane - noticed you are on the coast.
