: Paul,
: This is one of the most asked questions.As far as I know there is not a source of patterns for the wood on any Model As.However you do have options in replacing the wood.
: First you can join a local club and find someone locally who has the old wood from a car like yours and use it to make new wood.There are also several sources of kits that include all of the wood.It is not cheap (around $1000) but it will allow you to restore the car. Most of the Model A parts houses carry the kits.
: I have heard that Ford did not have 'blueprints' of the body wood.Each part was copied from a master part.Therefore no dimentional information is available today. This is hear-say so I do not know if it is true.
: Bob
Thanks, Bob for your help.Unfortunately no one in our club has a four door. In fact there is only one two door sedan.I see a Town Sedan Club listed among the "special interest" groups.Have not contacted them yet.Should make that my next stop.
Thanks, Paul
