thought some of you might enjoy...and, no, the drywall and cross point screws won't stay...they're only for fit purposes...I'm using plans that I purchased from Leon (old Mel Miller drawings). The only thing I've really added are the grooves running the length of the main rails...I had shards of the original which showed them and I milled the wood to fit snuggly.
Lookin' gooood! I have a '14 project that I need to get back to one of these days.
Very nice job Scott. Leon
Scott;
That is beautiful. Maybe I can get you to do the wood on my '22 Centerdoor.
Richard
PS. Did you make the picknick Saturday?
Hi Richard
Yep, flew back from Yuma on red-eye flight...
wife picked me up at airport 9:30 AM and we went straight to picnic...slept well that night!
Had 20+ folks for lunch...had a great time but we missed you and Lucy. Long drive for you, I know, but you were definitely missed...

Very nice work
Very nice work. Thank you for the detailed pictures.
Are the plans available? I need to re-wood a 1920 roadster.
Neal
From someone who can't saw a board in two i am in awe.Great job!
Rick
Scott,
Great work!
Neal, yes plans are available from Leon Parker for the 1920 roadster as well as all open models 1914-1925 and possibly some other models also. If you would also like a copy of a 1923 low cowl roadster rewooding article – drop me an e-mail and I will send it to you. (Just click on my name and my e-mail address is in my profile).
Leon sold the 1923 plans to Scott. Leon can be contacted by opening his profile (click on his name a few posting up or on: http://www.mtfca.com/cgi-bin/discus/board-profile.cgi?action=view_profile&profil e=leon_parker-users ) The third line down is his e-mail address or you can send a Private Message either way you like. Great plans and even better techincal support if you have questions later.

Nice job Scott.
Very nice work! Keep the pics coming!!
That's amazing to somebody like me who flunked wood shop.
I love woodwork and you are doing a cadillac job on that lucky little ford. Keep us posted on this project.
Henry would have never approved with the time taken but he could not argue the quality, thats for sure.
That car should last another 100 years+ with a job that nice. Its good to see someone do this kind of work these days. I didn't flunk woodshop but that is still amazing to me too!
Keep posting the progress.

I'm sure glad (lucky) the first and only T I've bought was a 27.
I'd have been in real trouble if it was an earlier T. I can't even imagine building a wood body from scratch.
I was so pleased with the only wood work I've ever done, (which was simply installing a pre cut top kit on it), that I didn't put the headliner back in.
Even just doing that, I managed to break one of the top bows and had to glue it and clamp it back together.
Would this thread be the right place to ask if woodwork would be considered unfit/unsound? i have a picture of some really bad woodwork i could post
I really appreciate good work, and your's is right at the top of the list. Kudos to you, my friend. BTW, I don't recognize the wood. What type?
Dennis,
Looking at your photo, I notice your T is illegally parked and in danger of being towed.
Kim,
Considering this Forum is an educational venue - where we learn to do things correctly, I, for one, woould like to see some examples of incorrect work. I find it beneficial to avoid the mistakes of others....kind of like "not re-inventing the wheel"....and not wasting a lot of time - and material - making mistakes others have made.
Dave
Compare the nice work posted by scott conger with this picture
i know that cars do not go all that fast but will the guys windshield fall off?
WOW, that's rough...
"Looking at your photo, I notice your T is illegally parked and in danger of being towed."
Tom, that used to be the spot my (late) mother's Mustang was parked in. Never got around to taking it down.
The Mustang, the sign and my mom are all gone now.
In memory of mom 1921-2010
Dennis, My mom is still around but she gave up Mustangs years ago. I remember back when I was young, she got caught speeding in the 67 convertible I now own. She wrote "Only Mustang makes it happen" in the memo on the check.
I agree, keep the sign up. My mom is here but I miss my dad.
Scott, I am in awe! It seems a shame to cover all of that workmanship up. Dave
