: Thank You.Steve-
I assume you are looking for blueprints for the wood in the ^0-B body. As far as I know, they don't exist.A restorer must either use the old wood as a pattern or buy wood from one of the several reproduction-wood companies who advertise in Hemmings or the Restorer.I made all new wood for my 60-A when I restored it, and if you are a very good woodworker and have enough of the old wood still in the car, it's not too tough a job.I removed all the sheetmetal, then fitted and replaced one piece at a time so I didn't lose the proper shape and dimensions of the body.Due to deterioration, I did have to make a guess on some joints, but followed what appeared the proper type used in other places on the car.Large, thick pieces can be made by glue-laminating 3/4" thick pieces, then cutting on a bandsaw.Good luck on your project - new wood really makes this body style solid and quiet!
