You are talking about door jamb wood, correct? There are only two skimpy pieces of wood in the actual door. Mock the door into position with the full hinges attached. Ratchet straps would do the trick. Shim the door to get even gaps all around. Then mark the body inside and out where the hinges would attach in the jamb. Keep in mind that there are two wood screws and two thru bolts in each hinge. Good luck.
