29 Roadster Quarter Panel Wood

[ericr]

Can anyone post a close-up picture of how exactly the interior quarter panel wood pieces fit together when installed? Part of mine are askew and I don't know if it was a poor wood kit (surprise, surprise) or something else. I am aware there are pencil drawings elsewhere but they do not show much helpful detail.

Here's a couple of pictures I saved from somewhere that may help. Been a while since doing this and can't remember if there's any tricks or things to watch out for. Good luck.

Hello,
I am restoring a 30 standard roadster and I have a question about the wood kit also.
My original backrest of the seat has the wood attached to the springs and in one of the photos the wood is attached to the opening between the rumble area and the back of the seat. Do I attach the backrest wood to the car or the seat?
Also does anyone know where I can get the rumble seat side panels that are not upholstered? Thanks

Hello, I have a 31 deluxe , on mine the wood is attached to the seat , it’s bolted to angles on lower panel and to package tray at top , on roadsters, wood is more or less tackling strips for top and upholstery. I don’t know if the cardboard for rumble area is available not upholster .

28-29 assembly is quite a bit different than 30-31. Here's a link to an old thread that has several more pictures of 1930-31 seats.
