Default 1930 roadster body wood help

My son bought a 30 roadster that was taken apart a long time ago and pieces scattered. I have some experience with my 31 Closed cab pickup but would like some reassurance on the body wood for his car. He has a new wood kit from brookville. My question: where can I look / got for a diagram to install it. I have all three books from les Andrew’s. But they don’t show the body wood placement. If you guys could point us in the right direction we would appreciate it.
Thanks Kris

Hello, have a 31 roadster unfortunately don’t have pictures of wood placement. However not that much wood in roadsters , there a 2 arched shape pieces that fit behind door posts on latch side held on by carriage bolts and nuts washers at top and bottom. Wood pieces that fit at top of quarter panels and angles to help hold the upholstery. The back seat frame also is ladder like assembly that attached to back tray and angles on seat riser. Hopefully some one will have pictures or illustrations. Good luck.

Hello again, is it a Deluxe or Standard? If it has a oval speedometer it would have been a standard, if round speedometer could have been either.

Any chance it is a foreign body, I think they had a lot more wood. How about posting a picture of the inside of one of the doors?
