The Ford Barn

Hi Barners,

I have a question arising in the renovation I am currently undertaking: I am copying the bottom wood frame of my Fordor since the old one is in quite bad shape. Focusing on the part of the frame located where the door openings are I wonder about the shape of the frame. The old one looks like the upper face angles downwards and outwards, such that the cross-section of the frame is not square.
(Does this description make sense??)

Can anyone confirm if this is the case? And is anyone able to quantify the downwards trend??

The reason I ask is that the old frame has been repaired in these places - and I am uncertain if it was done properly since other repairs have been faulty.

Any input is much appreciated

\Dan
