How much wood is there in the Model T? Much structural?

Thanks,
Kurt

Up until 1926 the Model T body structure was all wood. After 1911 it was wood with a sheet metal skin. The skin can not stand alone.

And '26-7?

26-7`s are mostly steel with some wood added for tack strips mostly. Still enuf there to make you scratch your head when you put it together if you don`t have paint by number instructions. LOL Monte

Monte's right except for the Fordor which is mostly wood like the older cars.

in the 26/27 Tudor, it's mostly tack strips for the interior and a few pieces for motor and body mounts... (plus the roof structure of course)
