Call Larry Shepard in St. Charles, MO. He’s on FB as Larrys_40, I believe. He’s does excellent work.

If you are a Ford V-8 Club member check your roster for Illinois. Make a call or two and I'm sure you will get some referrals. Some club members also post on the site.

Also try Gerald and Sons in Nappanee, Indiana.
They work solely on Model A Fords but they WILL work on the '32's. No other year early V-8's though.
Gerald and Sons are only on FaceBook they discontinued their web site. I am not on FB myself.
Look them up on Duck Duck Go at least you can get a phone number.
Good luck. .32's are beautiful cars a carry over of the '30-'31 Ford Model A styling:)

Ship it to Millworks Hot Rod in New Hampshire and have them check the car over and repair anything that needs attention.

Ahh--- yes Larry would be closer at 158 miles but I don't think he does much with early flatheads....He's pretty much a Model A guy,,,

It is harder to find help for flathead Fords....
