Default Re: What is this metal called?

Unfortunately, a lot of folks that sell bits and pieces on Flea-Pay C-List, and other sites don't know the nomenclature either. The Tudor Sedans were the most produced body style that Ford made in the model A era so there are still quite a few around in various states of deterioration. Folks that sell pieced may just refer to stuff as a support or brace so a photo is all you have to go by when scrolling through pages of junk.

I've seen the part that the rear window regulators attach to but the little pieces are harder to identify. More reproduction sheet metal is made for Coupes & Roadsters but there are fender well patches and front corners of the cowl as well as some lower door patches for Tudors. Parts that are common to most bodies are available but that's about it. Fabrication of parts is the only recourse in most cases.
