Tom,
I guess this car is technically a 1931. The frame number is definitely 1931, but it has a '30 radiator shell, and it doesn't have an indented firewall. The splash aprons are 1 long piece ('31 type) and the front fenders match. I believe at least 1 of the front fenders is original. The engine is a replacement, so that doesn't match either.
This will be a nice car when its done, but i'm not going to try to win any awards with it.
