Re: Odd Frame Repair?
Not unheard of on original '32 front cross members. A service cross member with a riveted-in doubler was offered in '33.

Re: 1932 Ford shock absorbers taking them apart
Good point about the front and rear shocks not necessarily being the same. In original '32 production, some of the closed car rear shocks have greater resistance than the front shocks depending on...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
It's consistent with its origin, a '32 coupe. And it most definitely has an original counterbalanced crankshaft.
The rear transmission mount from a '33-'34, which is fully interchangeable with...

Re: 1932 Ford shock absorbers taking them apart
Be very careful. Only a B-prefix '32 shock is basically the same as a Model A shock with a larger capacity. A 18-prefix shock, the most prevalent among survivors, can be ruined by assuming that it...

Re: 1934 Fordor roof

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
A '33-'34 four will fit in a '32 chassis, especially if it has the early '33 front motor mount bracket with the same front motor mount spacing on the front cross member of 12" like '32s.

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
If the engine's bell housing is absent, that's where the engine number was stamped. The front timing gear cover will identify it as being a '32 or '33-'34 if the bell housing is missing. Can you...

The pillar-mounted assist straps were only provided on deluxe Tudor sedans, not on the standard versions.

Re: 1932 Ford Hood Alignment
Neither look to be in good original condition, but of the two, that in the second photo appears to be worn the least.

Re: Paint combination for 1933
If you mean the out-of-print V8 Club book, there's reason why the Club decided against a second printing.
If it was a U.S.-built '33, it came with black fenders regardless of it being a standard...

Re: 1932 firewall insulator - 4cyl
Yes, it's an early version. Note the lack of the extra toe room in front of where the clutch pedal would line up against the inside of the firewall compared to the one in your earlier photos.

Re: '36 Phaeton top/windshield seal
Any upholstery shop with a sewing machine could make it as it is just like windlacing (dense round sponge rubber core tightly wrapped in fabric), in this case top material, sewn together.
