Default Re: 29 Fordor Gas Tank Removal

Smokey's cowl pillar looks like mine, no wood. I have no doubt that there is wood on some of the different bodies. I forget that the cars were in a constant state of refinement and design change. My body seems to be a late 29 Briggs. I wonder what else is different from the earlier ones.

I had aways thought that the reason Model A's survived in such great numbers was because of the limited use of wood in the construction of the bodies. I also thought that the reason there were few Chevy's was that Fisher relied on metal panels tacked to wood frames which rotted and fell apart.
