List,
I wasn't sure what to do with the old wood inside my doors (tr-3).  They were 
riddled with old screw holes from prior owners who had apparently tried to keep 
side curtain brackets in place.  Plus there were several broken off screws 
lodged that had to be removed resulting in even bigger holes.  I simply plugged 
the holes with the best wood putty I could find but still wasn't happy with 
that 
result.  


I sent mine to Bill which he used as a pattern and the result was flawless.  
The 
wood fit the curve perfectly front to back as well as the concave top edge 
which 
slid right in under the steel inside edge of the door top.  I was very very 
happy with the result and look forward to having clean fresh wood to screw 
into.  The suggested price is very reasonable for a part that isn't available 
anywhere else that I know of.  


If anyone out there is doing a frame up, or having trouble with they're side 
screen brackets holding, consider getting totally new wood.  It's worth it!
