Wood Kits
I am looking to buy a complete wood kit for my 1929 Steelback Fordor. I have seen a couple different sites that sell them, which company has the best kit available?

Re: Wood Kits
There are only two manufacturers that I know of. Fordwood and classic wood. Nobody seems to be able to get a response from Fordwood but Classic seems to answer calls.
www.fordwood.com for Ford Wood and Classic Wood Manufacturing (336) 691-1344 (North Carolina)

Re: Wood Kits
Otis, there are a couple of threads on this subject in recent months use your search to find them. A team of us replaced all the wood in a 1930 3 window sedan last summer. The wood kits might be said to get the job done but the work involved in making all the pieces fit is hard. You'll need a Belt Sanded plus a host of tools to cut, chip, sand and contort the wood to fit your A. The Wood sellers make a kit yes. IMO, in any other business their product would be labeled a failure given the money they charge and the impossible fit they deliver.

Re: Wood Kits
I made some of my wood on my Town Sedan and it was a challenge. This was in the area that is referred to as the "Body Wood". The total wood cost for a 155d is over $4000. Much of the dimensions were figured by establishing center and working off that or some other point of reference. These pieces are very complex with odd little angles that can't be overlooked, they must be duplicated. This job is not for the careless or the fainthearted. If you have duplicatable (is that a word?) parts, you may get a local cabinetmaker to reproduce many of them. They're not all hard. For a glimpse of what I did, go to "My 30 TS" and see.

Re: Wood Kits
Same here. I was looking for just a couple of pieces (not a full kit). It took a couple of days for them to reply to my email, but they did get back to me. When I called Classic Wood, they picked up fairly quickly.
