Wood by Ron Heiden. Figured maple panels are costing an extra $369 but offset by selling some spare woodie parts for $700. Should be getting a shot of the figured wood shortly. It is starting to look like a station wagon.

We were watching old movies last night. In Holiday Inn from 1942 they drove a brand new Plymouth wagon into a pond followed by a 39 Plymouth convertible. I thought that was a shame since in 42 new cars were becoming unavailable to anyone but the government.

Your 41 is going to be beautiful.

That is looking REALLY NICE! Keep it up and enjoy the process!

Beautiful work! Did you make your wood, or get a kit?
If a kit , where did you get it?
I’m debating on taking on a 48 woody project, but I’m no woodworker.

Darrell, every time I see that movie I cringe, I wonder how many shots it took to get that scene right.

Beautiful Tex, is Ron going to do the varnish work also?

yes he is varnishing and working on it 40 hrs a week. If you have to ask how much or when it it is supposed to be done you will be disappointed. It will be done when it is done. I have 2 other woodies to entertain myself, a 36 Ford and a 49 Ford hot rod.

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it

I’m asking because the only way I could afford it would be piece by piece(kit)
Or doing it myself from plans.
I did the wood and roof in my 31 coupe, but it was a kit, and it came out ok.
