4 dr sedans
 

Were all of the 4 dr sedans and town sedans wood framed bodies, or did some of the slant window models have metal structural framing?

Re: 4 dr sedans
 

The slant bodies were metal with wood strips for attaching the interior panels and wood for framing the top which had a cloth center area.

All earlier fordors were wood frames with metal skins.

Once you have a fordor you will love it!

Briggs and Ford bodies had a lot of wood. The Murry had much less.

.??. That really has not been my experiences. :o

Re: 4 dr sedans
 

The one I worked on had mostly metal doors.

Re: 4 dr sedans
 

That must have been a steel bodied Slant windshield as noted above OR highly modified. All straight windshield Murray fordor models had door frames like these.

No wood in either Briggs of Murray s/w doors. Nice to know so you can rely on nothing sagging from rotted or dried out wood.

Re: 4 dr sedans
 

That might be what I sawS/W, It looked factory. The wood shown looks like my doors in a Ford bodied 1930.

Re: 4 dr sedans
 

I concur with Brent on which has the most wood.

Re: 4 dr sedans
 

The early Briggs fordor bodies had more wood in the cowl. Both Briggs and Murray fordor straight windshield bodies were wood framed . The slant windshield fordor bodies had steel subframes and about the same amount of wood as the tudor bodies.
