VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 interior wood frame help

wondering if anyone knows where i can find diagrams or plans for the intrior bracing in 35 chevy standard 3 window, any help is greatly appreciated

Are you asking about the entire wood structure or just some specific area?
Mike

Looking for pretty much the entire frame structure, not much of the original wood has survived in my car.

Some of the wood in my car is exposed, but I am not sure that photos would be any specific help to you.

Hey 35 Chevy,
The best that I can do is to relay this: the Job No.(style No.) 351207A which is what I think you are talking about ie. 1935 Coupe Standard Standard, is the same as the 1935* Coupe Standard Standard which is really a '34 Coupe Standard Standard. If this does not make sense, do not blame me. Whatever, If you can figure this out, we can provide some of these reproduction parts.I will be glad to talk to you about this, although I cannot guarantee that I will know WTF I am talking about.Bill/KC Wood MFG

I have never heard of a Standard Standard Chevy of any year. However, Bill is absolutely correct that the 1934 series DC and 1935 series EC share bodies, fenders, etc. They have substantial mechanical differences.
Rumor has it that Bill is "The Man" when it comes to Chevy wood.

The 1934 and 1935 Standard coupe bodies are the same (includes late 1934 Standard coupe that had the 1935 body)(1934 had battery under floor and 1935 had battery under seat).The difference in the bodies is with the 2 door.The late 1934 Standard used the 1935 Standard 2 door body which is longer in the rear section and has a full one piece rear body panel.All 1934 Standard 4 doors had the extended 1935 body as it was a late addition in 1934.....The parts book list A Standard for series and then lists standard as "conventional" or a regular 2 or 4 door with no trunk,etc.Note that the 2nd standard does not have a capitol S.There were also Master standard sedans.

Hey guys, I really appreciate all the help and info.

This stuff is pretty complicated, especially the door posts. Unless you are really skilled and have good patterns (old wood) to work from, I'd just buy from Bill or one of the other vendors. It's not easy to make it all work when you are sure the wood is right, so unless you want a rela challenge, it's more fun to get on to mechanical things. I bought almost all the wood for my DB pickup.

wilson it has been many moons sinse you were in my shop looking at my db . you dropped off the end and some one told me you died . as for wood in old chevys like wilson said it gets complicated even if you think you have good paterns they may not be right after 70 years or so the wood takes on differant demintions meaning the openings may not fit like they should which is hard to streighten out after you try and assemble the metal parts . i have done several and some people like the challenge . on some i have bought the critical pieces to speed up the process and made the ones that were not . i have not used any of kc, wood but the one s i have if a piece has a hole ,indention ,curve , or any thing else in it it was put there for a reason and it has to be there or it wont fit . even some of the pieces from the wood people need some tweeking as you are not putting it together on a gig . hope this helps
