I've seen several vintage videos of these cars being built showing the body being lowered onto the chassis being held by the roof through the side window openings. However, I have not seen how they did it with open cab models. Also, (and more importantly for me), how where the wood frame models put together IE were they still built separate and then lowered onto the chassis or were they put together ON the chassis?. I ask this because I'm doing a '31 DD which, unlike my '28 sedan which has steel cross members across the floor and steel door posts etc, the DD is all wood with the panels just nailed to it (more or less).
