I am currently rewooding a 26 Canadian Foredor sedan. The wood is at best 50% there. The wood kit I purchased is missing one part and a call to them, I was told that they have discovered the part was not supplied to them to copy. So what I need is the dimensions of the back vertical cross panel for the rear seat base. This is the part that holds up the back of the rear seat cushion. If anyone could lift up the rear seat and get this measurement for me it would go a long ways toward getting this project back on track.
This is a Detroit built Fordor. Is this the piece you are asking about?
It sounds like he's talking about the riser board.
Yes, the pice the crowbar is resting on in the first pic, the yellow arrow in the second.
Don, could you share some more pictures of the interior of tour body? I am needing a little help on the placement of the metal brackets and braces.
I'll try but don't know if that is what your in need of...
Here are some pic's you might want to "save" and that way you can zoom in on things.
and another...
Dale, if you need a picture of something specific just let me know. As long as I don't need to tear my car apart I will get it for you...you can email me also, I can send larger pictures that way. dbooth3862@NOSPAMchartermi.net
remove the NOSPAM.
Thank, Don for the pictures, still need measurement of height on the back seat base board.
I have the original wood pieces yet. I will get those for you tomorrow morning.
Dale, Here are a couple of past Forum threads that may be helpful. Regards, John

Dale, the height of the rear seat base is exactly 4" on my car. Measured from top of the frame sill to the top of the rear seat base board.
Don, thank you, with that I will be able to get a piece of oak from Home Depot down the street and cut one out. Plan to go pick up a "troubled teen" today and have him help me while "talking." Wish us luck!

You be welcome, good luck with the teenie-bopper...tough age.
the new piece on the back of back seat.where did you get it from.
Kenny, I made all my wood pieces by taking the measurements from the steel. It can be done with a piece of cardboard and shape it to the curve of the back. Then follow the same thickness of the horizontal board (where the steel meets the upper rear window steel). The bottom is notched out at the level of your rear seat back brace and then again at a straight line between the two outside vertical braces.
