Re: 1924 Roadster door wood plans
I’m thinking the doors in the 17 thru 25 T open cars are the same size.
There are doors plans for T touring doors on cimorelli’s model T digital library.
If the doors are the same other than right or left then you could use these plans for making the wood going by the size of the metal doors that you have. When making the wood for the doors you usually have to cut and fit the pieces as you build it. Sort of trial and error whether you have the exact size of the wood pre cut anyway or not.
Others might know for sure if the years 17-25 are the same for the doors BUT of course the 17-22 bodies are the lower profile than the higher 23-25. You may already know but the pre cut wood kits that are available have to be fitted to some extent. Ford used up to 5 body makers for his cars that are generally the same except the details may differ. The wood usually just don’t drop in.

Re: 1924 Roadster door wood plans
You have to blow up the copy of Cimorelli’s site full size to use the plans.
I have an original set of Miller plans I got directly from his daughter

Re: 1924 Roadster door wood plans
Yes
His plans you use them as a pattern to make the wood. I had a set for my 19 Runabout years ago. I later sold them. I made some of the wood using them using them as a guide. I bought a kit that was made using his plans.
I’m still wondering who or what ever happened to if Leon Parker’s plans that were put up for sale. And as most of know they probably were bought by someone ‘to preserve the hobby’.???
The prediction that they will probably never see the light of day is probably true. And that’s a shame. Whoever bought them hopes folks will stop asking about them.
