another wood ?

I understand that one has to put wood for the floor and seat. but is it totally necessary to wood the sides and perimeter. I am only gonna run a short windshield and no upholstery other than a seat. Thanks Brian

You have to do the floor and it would be highly recommended to do around the top of the body with some small pieces of 1 x 2s. This will ad a lot of strength to the body. Unless this is a drag race only body.

I have been driving my T for many years, no wood in body, except floors, the body only has to hold paint, mine still is in one piece, if you think your's is flimsy, ad some more glass to the top side edges...

I know of a bucket that's been on the road for several years (maybe 12 or so)It has no interior just a pair of VW seats bolted to the floor. He took a piece of old garden hose and glassed it around the top of the body. There was no added support for the windshield (ran just the lower half) and after a couple of years he added a 10ga. plate behind the posts.

If you have a CCR body then no you don't have to wood it.

I actually fiberglassed in a steel rod under the lip to make it a little more rigid around the top.
