Here's what I did on my '46. Boards from an old barn and toyed with the lengths and spacing until I was happy. I used acorn nuts and fender washers on the inside instead of countersinking, and I used carriage bolts. The Gulf signs were the finishing touch. I might put some boards across the front but I'm starting to like it without.
