Much of the wood disintegrates upon removal. My friend needs patterns...

I've got some old wood that can be used for patterns. It is interesting how the methods vary in the same year. My sills plate were made from two thin planks, but I had a set of sills from a 57 that were one piece. all cuts were the same. My "A" pillars were 3 piece construction. I was fortunate on my 58 that I didn't have to peal open any metal work to replace the wood. I cross brace the metalwork and changed out pieces one at a time. I will take photos of what I have if anyone is serious about wanting them for patterns.
