    Interesting video . I was looking at the wood on my 22 touring that goes around the top of the back seat. From what I can see it's in multiple pieces and is all in the inside of the body. It has been sawed from solid pieces and nothing has been steam bent. It is original as far as i know and sticks up about a half inch above the sheet metal so tacks can be put in on the rear surface of the strip to hold the upholstery on. The same method on the front seat back. I don't know if there was more than one company making body's or not but I do know there was five different top bow makers supplying Ford in Canada. Was 23 the first year they used steam bent tack strips? Each one has a separate part number.
    I watched your video on tools. A Ford tools as supplied in the original tool kit had no part number. The ones that do were replacement tools that were marked with a part number for the parts room. T Ford tools in the tool kits I've seen have a part number. Really interesting video. Merry Christmas.

    That was very enjoyable to watch, Steven.
    A practice that many folks would have known at one time. Now finding a wooden toothpick is a chore let alone finding someone who could bend one and have it keep it's shape.
    Merry Christmas to you.

    Short answer: VERY carefully.

    I just did something similar to bend up some inch oak for the sides on the boat tail. I used a steam cleaner and a bit of plastic drainage pipe with the standard caps on the end. Worked surprisingly well.

      We were surprised how resistant to bending, the green ash was, even after steaming. Much more to learn about this process in the future. Thanks for watching!

      @ my oak was air dried as I bought it green about 10 years ago, so I was relieved to see it move so well. Got a nasty steam burn though doing it, but hey, skin heals and chicks dig scars I am told! (Sorry from Evel Kinevel on the Simpsons)
