Some of the reproduction wood is made a bit larger to allow for variations in body fit. It just depends on the fabricator that made the parts as to how close they will fit. It helps to have some wood working tools like a belt sander available but if you have to get too many, you might as well make the stuff yourself.

A lot of folks purchase the kits due to missing or badly deteriorated parts that won't work as patterns. In this case, it's still easier to purchase a wood kit than guess about how to make the parts from scratch.
