Doing a 33 Chevy street rod for a customer. There are a couple pieces of wood inside that isn't rotted just a few cracks and not as solid as I'd like to see them. Years ago I did a 32 Buick that had some same issues. We used a glue type product that was kinda like gorilla glue in that you used it with water and it expanded. Can't for life of me remember what the stuff was called. This btw is wood that you would totally damage the jam skins taking it apart to replace.

Thanks

I don't know the exact product you are describing, an alternate may be a product I've used in restoring old wooden boats called Smith's CPESCPT.
It is a penetrating epoxy and may work for your project.

What? NO-ONE pounced on THIS subject?!!

Even if it's a chevy.

Yeah far be it for me to assume the vast crowd of experience of people on here that noone would by chance have any experience with anything other than mopars?

I used to have a '31 two door sedan. After discovering I needed to be a carpenter rather than a body man I got rid of it. However, when I was looking for repair methods I seem to remember that someone offered a 'wood kit' (for lack of a better term) for the early Chevrolets. Can't remember much more than that.

Try mtfca.com (Model T Ford Club of America). The early T's had loads of wood in them. You might have to "sign up" to post, but I'm sure you would get lots of ideas.

You may also want to look into famowood sold at lowes. It is a 2 part epoxy. You should be able to fill cracks with it. It will harden and can then be sanded smooth.

I restored a 29' Willys Knight 5 years ago & used the stuff from Lowes & also drilled & screwed some
