does any one make a wood door kit for my 4 door sedan ? Dennis 510-909-4103 josephmoitozo@sbcglobal.net

I should think that would be like trying to get false teeth for your Hen Dennis ;D  Just not enough of these cars around to warrant anyone going into that sort of production. I have never seen such a thing in the 20 years I have owned my 36. Guess you could get a local joiner to duplicate any piece you need.    From experience though most of the wood is impossible to remove as the frames were built then clad in the metal skin afterwards. Bits have to be cut and spliced in.

People broke and spliced pieces, all integrity is lost .. I removed the door skins and properly removed all the good wood. I'm currently talking with james rodman of Indiana regarding my wood. He appears too be a reliable source .. I am old school and I don't want to band aid  anything on this car, that's not what I am trying not too do and you are right about taking the doors completely apart  to do it right.. thx for your response

He sounds like just the man you need Dennis.
