The open cars have an "X" to brace to keep the frame from twisting. They also have a bracket on the frame below the rear of the cowl. This is for the adjustment of the cowl.
Bodies for convertibles were made by a vendor, not Ford. Service manuals are available from C&G (800/266-0470). I use V-222 for convertibles because the show intricate assemblies such as the top irons. Ask for their catalog. The section on books is essential reading.
