1937 Deluxe Metalwork Identification

[FlatheadEric]

I bought a 1937 Fordor Deluxe that the previous owner had completely dismantled. I needed to buy a shipping container to move it between islands back to where I live.

So far so good with the repairs, painting and reassembly - it's starting to look like a car again.

Can someone identify the sheet metal parts in the first picture as to where they fit?

On a the far left in your photo, it is RHD right side engine splash pan and third from the left is floor plate that retains the sponge rubber seal around the brake and clutch pedals. Sorry, but the other two are beyond my experience.

The long piece, second from the left, looks like the front seat lower side panel with the slot for the seat adjustment handle. The two on the right I can't help you with.

Now I too am curious about the far right pieces. Can you take a close up pic of just those two pieces?
Thanks,

The pieces the others have identified are correct. The picture of the pieces to the far right are not very good. If you would post a closer view, we may help. The shape reminds me of the pieces that go in the very back corners of the trunk (under the tool tray wood) but I can’t tell if they are flat or have a break in them.

and here's some pics of the floorboards and metal pieces.

Very good, three out of four identified.

Close ups of the two pieces on the far right of the original picture.

wow, that looks like a part to the front bench seat. I have those same parts stashed in my front seat pile of stuff. In the attached pic, it shows the one on the driver's side, close to the handle lever.

Yes, it looks to be a similar shape but is not the same when I hold it up against your picture.

I will drag the front seat out from under the pile and see if it fits anywhere.

Thanks for your input Gregg

[1937sedandelivery]

Yeah, I think I jumped the gun on that one. Even more curious now...

The chewed up ones look like they might have come from the headlining above the doors.
The far right ones fit on either side inside the trunk.
RHD engine splash pans are quite rare.
Usually discarded when working on the steering box or exhaust system.

Those two pieces on the far right are for the rear seat metal base in your sedan. They are riveted to the seat base on each side as it turns towards the back of the car and to the interior structure of the quarter. This "closes" the gap between the seat base and interior quarter structure. Mine are a bit beat up but here are some pictures of these same pieces in my 39 sedan.

Four out of four now identified. Thanks Patrick for bringing it home.
