This evening I finished making new B-Pillar wood post. I'm sure Packard had special jigs and bit for mas producing these. But I have it my best shot. Every side has a different angle and I also had to make a right one from the left pattern I was working off of. I'm sure originally the cut out were done with a router bit. I didn't have one large enough, so I just a forstner bit and over lapped the holes and the hacked away the extra with a chisel. All of the is sandwiched inside metal channel with the metal bow and the arms that support the rear wood bow. So none of these reliefs are visible in this sandwich of parts. Not to bad is I do say so myself.

Also the new pivot pins arrived from Bruce Blevins. They are an exact copy of what I drilled out, but made in stainless.
