does anyone know where I can get several pieces of wood that I need to replace in my 1940 Ford Woody. I need the side pieces to the top ,I guess would be called the header, that runs from the "A" pillar to the rear header...The drip edge and top attach to it ..Tried several companies but they either don't have patterns for that year or specialize in other years...
 
I had some wood for my sedan delivery custom made by a guy in New Mexico. I recall he specialized in Woodies, not sure which years. PM me if you want and I will look up/send his contact information, etc.

Are you in the National Woodie Club? The Woodie Times lists several shops.
Stay away from the shop in Orange, Ca.
 
Unless the shop has actually made the required roof side rails before, I would be wary unless you have very good patterns for them to work with. Station wagon roof side rails are about the most complex pieces of the body with their compound curves from the B pillars forward to the A pillars.
 
Also, to add what David has to say, don't expect the piece to just fall into place. Lots of fitting will be required. You are replacing one of the major components on your vehicle. Not only does it affect fitment of the doors, it also anchors the roof ribs.
 
thanks for all the replies...Sawzall , can you give me a call so I can talk to you about making the pieces I need ....540-465-3586 or 540-514-9465....thanks
