I have started the reconstruction of the wooden body parts starting with the 2 lower chassis stringers. Lots of work with no drawings.

Nice looking. I take my hat off to you. When I bought my 1932 901 (I took over a restoration from the previous owner) they had already be remade. It is a task that I would not have undertaken because of the need to have the body off (No way for me to do here at my location). I'm guessing that there are other wood replacement parts that you will need to fabricate. While it is not extremely important for the stringers make sure that you do not use oak because the tannic acid in it will lead to corrosion of steel. Stick to other hardwoods such as ash and maple.

Good whittling and keep us updated.
