No wood panels on these. The frames are indeed structural though.

Now for the fun stuff. My son refers to the car as a "Ten Footer" looks good from 10 feet. My goal is to preserve and protect the car. Trying to keep it "un-restored". The finish is awful swirl, and other defects are overwhelming, the pics will speak to this. As for the paint, included in the...

Rear hatch is finish polished.... Seal or wait?
