<< Here's a question for the TD list: How can you determine the condition of
the
wood in the body frame? Especially in the door frame area. I am in the
process
of checking several cars for purchase. I have read the info on the TD FAQ
site
and it did not really cover wood condition. All answers are valuable here.
Also, I am still considering other cars, if you are interested in selling a
TD. >>
You are looking for dry rot......take an ice pick or knife and poke around in
all the wood you can find especially under the cars and in the fire wall
area......if the instrument goes in easy, there is trouble ahead!
