What kinda wood is good for interiors?

[Crease]

I know, I know......I just said wood.

I am about ready to replace the wood in my coupe. What kind of hardwoods have you used succesfully for body supports? Any particular reason you selected it?

Thanks in advance.

oak? ash? I would look at the suppliers and see what they make theirs from. I am torn between replacing the wood in my coupe or going with steel tube. I teach wood shop, I dont think making your own pieces would be that hard?? especially considering the cost of buying a kit??

The body carcasses of the British Morgan sports cars are still made out of seasoned Ash. Just like they have been for getting close to a century.

Turn your car into a hand's on learning experience, turn your student's onto rodding Dan.

Anyone have any tech links for replaceing wood with wood or wood with steel. At some point I need to get into it on my '35.
