Ok, I see your point (having once owned a 52 MGTD). Be sure then to use a
wood that is best at avoiding all the foibles that you would normally
encounter. Ash is such a wood.

Yes, that is why Standard Motor Co. used it for the door frame. Actually I
chose wood because it will flex a little and probably prevent creasing around

need for welding that would damage the paint.
