OH NO! these things are expensive

Soon after purchasing the wood I learned just how expensive this project was about to become..

Door latches for 38 - 40 ford Woodie are specific to Woodie Wagon.. and I only had ONE (thanks to Junior!)

worse yet.. one Woodie door latch had just sold for almost 600.00 on ebaymotors!

Through some careful sniping, I managed to get the 3 other latches, thank goodness for auctionzip!
