Default Original vs homemade wood 30 AA
Rear header is complete and reproduced the missing wood over curved roof panel. Had one original for pattern. Not too bad!! Buying the front header.

The original does not look that bad.

I used poplar. It's what I had left over from the bed construction.

I used white oak on the extended cab PU in my avatar.

Nice work.
Your original looks like Maple, as is all the wood in my Model A's that I've looked at so far.

I thought so too. The rear header was in too poor condition to tell about it's wood type.
