Evan,
Have you checked out my Morgan Web page (www.team.net/www/morgan)? I have
written several articles on the wood work. To answer your questions, I used
oak for some of the replacement wood (sill plates), plywood for the flat
pieces (floor boars, inner rear fender panels, and gastank bed). You can
also rebuild some of the wood (if it is rotted) with West System Epoxy.
