Hello and good day all.
This is my first post to these forums so please be gentle.

Before the snow fell I made a purchase of my dream car, in this case cars.
A Model A Sedan, I however did not quite realize what I was biting off with the fact that the Sedan versions have most of the main structure fastened with wood, and in my case, the remnant ghost of wood. I am looking to bring my car back to life as I have been amassing parts for it but I need to start with the structure.

I am a mechanic by trade but know very little on body work, especially structural. So I have come to the experts.

A few questions:

Is there any resources that would show me in detail the internal dimensions of the sedan when sitting properly?

Has anyone resources for a documented account of restoring the structure of a Sedan?

Is this indeed a 1930 Murray Sedan?

Thank you kindly.
