Fred, Thanks it is hard to describe but the floor is wider than the posts so I could not use standard doors without modifying the floor and I would have to use the wood cowl posts to be able to use the doors that Rich made. Th Also the windshield frame I found will sit up higher as the roof is about 9 inches higher than an A so forward visibility is better.
Rich used a lot of mortise and tenon joinery some screwed together and some glued so making changes to the body would not be easy. There is no plywood anywhere it is all solid oak and hard as a rock since it is now close to 30yrs old and has been in dry storage all this time. I will take some more detailed pictures and add them to my photo album.
