On this car, the A and B pillars were re-used. The driver's side A-pillar was repaired at the top using epoxy. The rear quarter window framing was made of white oak. The remainder of the body wood was made using laminated sign-board that is rated for 7 years exposure to the elements. It was sealed with Rust Bullet, then the body metal was sealed with the same, then the wood framing was installed, and both metal and wood were coated with it again. All of the wood joints were mechanically fastened, as well as glued with an adhesive made for wooden boats, giving them some flex. The removable floor boards were made from oak, where the originals were very poor quality reclaimed poplar. I am satisfied that the materials and workmanship far exceed those used originally.
