John Boy be sure to pre-drill all the nail holes first so you don't split the wood.. The replacement wood you get from K.C. Wood or Jim Rodman are pre-drilled for a lot of fasteners and are not the same as the original. Also the tee nuts in the wood you need are diiferent than the originals, they don't make them like they use too. You can use anything that fits unless you want the original appearance on the exposed fasteners Most of the guys use stainless steel nails to reinstall the sheet metal.
