I have had the car for many yrs, recently retired, have the wants to get it up and running.

When Ford built the 31 Slant Window he had Murray and Briggs build the bodies the same so parts were interchangeable. So all the Slant Window bodies had arched upper door revels.

There are some telltale differences such as Briggs used d-nuts on the fire wall and Murray used caged nuts on the firewall. Also Brigg had a manufactures mark the Briggs “Bug” on the RF cowl.
