Default Re: Which bolts for Top Wood ?

My dad and I have learned that no wood kit is "bolt on." Most screws will need pilots (or you crack the wood or break screws), and in multiple places we needed to drill our own bolt holes, "adjust" some notches (chisel and saw and get creative). But we have a special case, Most of these kits, i'm figuring, are designed to build a car from scratch. New wood, expecting new metal. It's much more challenging to try and fit this new wood in old existing metal. It also doesn't help us much that the manufacturer of the kit has not built this model of car ever, so the kit is untested...
