(wanted) 49 F1 Cowl vent panel
Hey anyone have a cowl vent panel for a 1949 ford F1? It seems like everyone sell the mechanism along with it which i really dont need. I am having trouble just finding the thing on any magazine. The one i have is rotten all to hell.

True true true. The only problem with that is all the nice rounded edges and im work metal about as well as a monkey does math. Its entertaining to watch but thats about it. It is worth a try though.

48 thru 50 are the same. The 51/52s are the same dimensions and would probably swap, but they are made differently.
48-50 is a sandwich or clam-shell piece made of two pieces with cage nuts inside. 51/52 is a single piece of sheetmetal with a metal bracket to make up for the depth of the earlier one. Wish I had a picture........... |

Mine is functional and it's wonderful on those warm summer days with both windows open. Crack that vent and you instantly feel the rush.
I haven't tried to swap the two styles but they look like the mounting bolts/holes will line up just fine. It can be a challenge getting the seal to keep water out in a downpour, but worth the bother. |

Re: (wanted) 49 F1 Cowl vent panel
Well i made one. Atleast it will look good closed and im gonna try to make my mount on the underneath as pretty as possible before i call it good. Wished someone had one that was in better shape than the one i already have and thank you to all the folks that showed me what they were willing to sell.
