Some believe I've crossed over to the dark side. 39/40 vs. '36

Obviously I'm not a fan of restos; a professional rubbing compound app on your '36?

My '33 3w has a one Duncan Blue peeling-patches thumbnail-thick repaint, seen via the open patches, I see the original-gloss Duncan blue. I'd lift the repaint if any way possible to expose the Ford-applied Duncan Blue.

Nickel windshield surround on a commercial vehicle would've been done by the dealership. special order? Thank You!

Not so much disassembling the vehicle. Rather, doing what needs to be done in my opinion to make this car very reliable and road worthy.
My guess, and only a guess, is the windshield frame has been replaced at some point in the life of this car. Same with the horn covers on the front fenders. From what little I know about these, methinks they should be black, not stainless.
