I do remember the car you purchased, I own the same year and model; IMO yours is far, far beyond even a parts car. My best advice is to find a better car as a starting point, it is simply way beyond practical to even give fleeting thought to saving the one you have. Sorry for the bluntness, but myself and others were flatly flabbergasted that the car found a buyer with the intent of restoration.

Dr. Andreas Straube in Germany is offering a reprint of the 1934 Salesman's Data Book; though it does not contain any engineering drawings or dimensions, it does have a couple of small illustrations of how various parts of the wood body structure was built. I believe his book is available thru Mr. Ole Book in North Bergen, New Jersey.
