The first steps I worked on were the replacement of the wooden frame parts that were missing or rotten. I am making all my own wooden frame parts. These are not kit parts. I've had to use the old parts as patterns. Sometimes this was a bit of a challenge. These parts often have multiple surfaces which slants and curves. For those of you who follow this blog and know I have also restored Airstream trailers, these part are a greater challenge. If you aren't familiar with cars of this era, the manufacturers were not able to make cars with full metal tops. The tops are a combination of wood and fabric.
