Welcome to the Ford Barn.

Recently my buddies and I replaced all the wood in a 1930 Briggs Sedan. Of course that included the chassis wood. You might think that process was a no brainer. Just fit the pieces together, find enough slotted screws of the proper size and slap that baby in place - after all it cost enough. Rule one: do not throw anything away. Rule two: the people who cut and made the kit didn't know you were the person who would eventually use it. So their complete lack of ability to make a kit that would easily fit a Moel A isn't personal. I don't have your answer. You won't be short of wood and coulf cut pieces to fit if you have the originals as templates. Remember rule one; it saved us a lot of time even with a '30 kit.
