Wood parts conundrum

Hi All,
I bought my first model T a few years ago and a box came with the car that was mailed from JC Whitney in the 90's. The car has a 26-27 body on it (not original), but the frame engine and tranny, I believe, are from a 22 or 24. Can anyone offer thoughts on what the wood pieces are for? A few are marked RF, RR, LF, LR; and are bent to fit the front and rear seat tack strips. But there are many other parts, some straight, some curved. Is this a kit for a full body re-wood for the earlier car?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much,
John

It is a 26-27 touring car kit.

Is your car a Touring car or a closed car or?
I used a body wood kit for my 21 Touring and if your car is an open car the parts you’re showing don’t resemble the ones for a low cowl open car.

You might try to match younwood parts by looking at the wood body parts for Model T’s on their website. They are listed by year and model and you might use them as a guide.

Hi Mark and John,
The car is a touring. Thanks,
It looks like the Fordwood.com site is the place to look. It is the first place that I've seen detailed imagery of the actual wood pieces.
Thanks so much,
John
