Is replacing the wood on a '20's vintage body difficult?

Posted by calcustom8 On 2009/12/2 15:43:49

I am considering selling my 22nd Custom 8 to subsidize the purchase of a pre-war Packard. I am looking for one that needs work and many that are offered for sale do. Everything that I have read is to stay away from cars that need the wood replaced in the doors and on the body. I am intrigued with the idea of completing the woodwork on a car but have not found any articles or blogs with descriptions of what is involved. Is it really that difficult or is is just that most car guys don't have the tools and/or experience working with wood?

Here is a link to an ad on ebay with what i have in mind:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Packard-1927-packard-project-car_W0QQitemZ310185212428QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item48387aba0c


I appreciate any advise and feedback!

Thanks
