I'm putting together a 1923 touring car I am fitting the body skins to the car. It has been going ok, but at this I point need some help since I cannot find info out on the forum. What kind of nails are used to attached to sill and frame? When should you put in the nails? Where the side skin and tub meet what fasteners do you use? In most pictures you really don't see where the skins meet.

Body Fastener Help
Hello,
I'm putting together a 1923 touring car I am fitting the body skins to the car. It has been going ok, but at this I point need some help since I cannot find info out on the forum. What kind of nails are used to attached to sill and frame? When should you put in the nails? Where the side skin and tub meet what fasteners do you use? In most pictures you really don't see where the skins meet.
