For replacing the wood in your car, you should assess your woodworking skills, experience, and tools and equipment that you own and have in your shop. If you have to purchase power tools for the job and go through a learning curve by making and remaking the parts, then the cost of a kit may not be so bad. Just because someone else can do it does not mean you can. Here's wishing you the best of luck with the restore.
