Bugatti100

As the title states I have some questions I am trying to figure out. I went through A&P school a few years back but I must say or what I am working on now it was of little help.
Getting to the point I am working on building a Bugatti Model 100 based aircraft. With that said I am trying to stay with the mostly wooden structure but I have little data on the original. I have begun to attempt the process of figuring the loads and such the aircraft will be put through. With my A&P back ground I am far from an engineer. I mostly need help figuring the wing loading to build it to. Ideally I would like the airframe to take at least 9g both ways. The finished airframe should weigh between 2500 and 3500 lbs. I have read through FAR 23 App. A but with the configuration of the aircraft it was of little help as well.
Any help or incite would be appreciated.
