1935 Packard Super 8 1205 Deitrich Convertible Sedan
 

 
 

This doesn't look much like a 1935 Packard but it willstarting with new outer rocker wood.
 

 
 

 
 

The rotted left B pillar. Often referred to as a center pillar or hinge pillar, I prefer 'B pillar'.
The post in front at the cowl is the 'A pillar'. Doors can hinge on the front or the back of any
of four doors, B pillar leaves no confusion. I also prefer Left and Right rather than driver or
passenger side. This avoids costly or inconvenient mistakes when working on right hand
drive cars and proper nomenclature assures everyone is referring to the same thing-KP
 
 

 

The right side C pillar. Here new wood is being shaped. There was enough left
to pattern and on several pieces a mirror image had to be shaped for the opposite side.
