They should be good templates.

If not, and nobody comes forward with a better idea, you will have to make a cardboard template for the rough shape, have it cut, then do a lot of fitting (or pay someone to do the same.) And, cletis, last time I tried to weld wood, I burned the heck out of it!

I have found out it is not cheap!! It seem to me that one of the places was actually in Kansas...somewhere. Hang tight. Someone will remember the site....or maybe do a search here and it'll show up....or look in the Links section. EDIT: Like here.. http://www.chevywood.com/which I believe is in Virginia. check it out to get started.

On top of that their wood kits are over 3400.00 for the complete cab doors and all. So i did another search and found a man named Jim at [email protected]. Super nice guy to talk to and his rates are more reasonable, i will be using him for my restoration project.
