I restored a 1928 Model A Huckster years ago. Unlike the "woody" look of many Hucksters this one was fully skinned in metal and painted. I have attached a picture and a drawing that shows the "A" pillar and cowl. There was a metal trim piece that exactly matched the curve of the cowl and masked the joint. Here is a link to a drop box album with many pictures of the restoration.

I made a full set of drawings of the body as I took it apart (The only way I'd be able to get it back together!) They are not "plans". They are just detailed measured exploded views of every sub assembly. Let me know if they can be of any help.
