When I took my 33 three window Ford apart there was thin canvas impregnated with wax between the wood door post and the front edge of the quarter panel. I could see it working as an anti-squeak and possibly even as a rust preventive.......... as I seem to remember the area the wood post covered wasn’t even painted. I’ve got 33-34 Four door steel center posts I hope to modify and use to replace the wood . ~ John Buchtenkirch
P.S. By the way after 50 plus years the wax (or whatever it is) wasn’t even dried out !

I found a jute strap - it goes to bed. It will be something similar from that time. Sorry John - just for availability and distribution.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. Now I will know what to apply.

Found yesterday at an equally affordable price. Soon more coverage of the reconstruction. I will not give the name of the car, let it be a mystery for the inquisitive.

Witold, tell me, don't be hidden like a castle in the Carpathians ....
It could be a Mercedes for your region. As the army advanced and threw away things ... and vegetation grew ... which closed the gates in a remote house ... that's the story.

The story is as intricate as the roads the car traveled on. The best examples were the layers of sand arranged like rings in wood, which I discovered in a steel frame while it was being repaired. Layers of sand and subsequent layers of sheet metal from repairs ...

Once upon a time ..... there was an old car ....
There was an old Italian car that came into my shop.
It had an Arabic plate, cast, on the rear bumper. "Morocco license", pre-WW2. The car was built for racing, a factory racer, supercharged 6 cyl engine. Very Fast. As I rebuilt the body and frame I could see variations in manufacture, newer/older. During the job, I heard "buried in the sand to avoid capture."" Later, at Peb. Bch. early in the morning, fog all around, few people, mostly mechanics tending the entries, an older English chap walked around the car, and stopped dead in tracks at the Morocco plate - "I KNOW this car!! I was in Morocco during the War and I saw it driving around!" We had a great chat. 25 minutes later, a well-dressed dignified chap came to look, and I raised the hood for him, recognizing him, so famous. Then I got him to sit in the car. Juan Manuel (Nuvolari might have driven it) looked so pleased to be sitting in that fine old Italian factory racing car, rebodied by Touring as a spyder, hidden away in Morocco, under the sand..... Old history, hidden away......

Hot Rods
Something we used years ago to stop the squeaking between body and frame on hot rods and race cars was old fire hose. It's a cotton weave with rubber lining I believe.

I also take the fire hose into account. It is .... waterproof.

The material in your picture looks like a webbing strap. It's available in many fibers. Polyester or nylon webbing would be water resistant.
