Default 31 wood

How much wood does a 31 slant window have? In particular, I'm asking about body structure wood. Or is it like a Tudor, steel? Thanks. Chuck

Chuck, I dont have a 31 SW but a '30 Briggs 3 Window Sdn - lots of wood.

The '30's chassis is in a friends garage ready for more work.

If you mean a slant window fordor, it has wood for the windshield header and the top. It's all steel without structural wood.

Just some basic wood in the body for the interior to tack to. Not structural. That's on the fourdoor.
