The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 28-29 Panel Delivery (79a) build: Wood dimensions?

KCTA Chris · 03-23-2023, 03:05 PM

Looking to build a Panel body from scratch, steel is no problem... but it all starts with the wood framing. I believe only one wood kit is available but have not heard the best from some panel owners. That has me considering building my own wood body frame. Lots of photos but nothing is close to to me for measuring?

Anyone have side wood and back wood dimensions from their restoration?

Also: I assume the vertical post are the same contour as the CCPU door post with a body seam notch, does anyone know if the back is the same? the lower back curve looks a little more flattened?

Thanks!
