Wood kits for a model A

Is the hot ticket new wood or welding and adding supports where the wood once was? I can't wait to get rid of my floppy coupe blues. Where's the best deal on wood? Thanks

 

Old boats are made of wood, I would replace or support anything u can with steel. However, some wood pieces are very odd shaped so u can pick up individual pieces of wood if u need to at:

Here's a post from Dodgerodder with his wood subframe replaced with steel.

I am going to try 1"x1" steel tube. First I am going to mock it up with pieces of wood that I hope will then be usable for a pattern. Maybe hold it together with glue gun glue. I have a 29A and the frame is "z'd" 4". So the previous owner cut away the orignal reaar supports I've seen tubing ysed to reinforce thiis arean provide a structure for gas tank and battery at the same time. I've never done this before so must ber inventive. best wishes RFuture

 

Thanks , I'm mainly talking about the body, roof, door pillars.
