    Greaser, do your home work, there's a lot of BAD home made woodies out there. I'd google up woodie wagon and see what I really wanted, you don't just go and buy wood, you've got to have the right wood (moisture content)hard woods ,oak, maple or birch, check out The National Woodie Club and see the right way to build a woodie............imho...............:D

    The complete wood kit for a Ford Model A woodie has been available for many years. You'll have to dream up your own bracketry though.
