Silversink, go for it. I milled all of the wood for my '30 Briggs Fordor including the door wood which is harder than the rest of the car. I used clear, aged maple. It is much easier to drive nails into. On lower portions of the car, I treated it with anti-rotting/insect formula and then painted it with either black paint or marine varnish. The upper pieces I just treated with marine varnish. Don't be timid, and patience is a virtue! btw, I live just east of Portland, so if you want to send a PM feel free. I haven't upholstered my Fordor body yet, so you would be welcome to take a look if you like.

More than you can say for that fender.I floor all my trailers with ash. This ones five years old. One coat of thompsons. And has held up great. Ash will stand up to just about anything.
