Body wood

How is your fiberglass body supported by wood? Many of the kits offer suggestions and may even include pieces of wood to use, but what did you do, or what did the person who originally built your body use for wood reinforcement?
 
In my case, I used 5/8 inch plywood for my floor, and glassed to the back of my firewall and dashboard, with two plywood "bulkheads" glassed under the dash, between it the firewall to make my cowl area nice and rigid. I did not use any other wood for body reinforcement, and only glassed 1 x 2 strips around the top lip to provide a rim around the body tub.
