hood question

[bmita]

is there any hood length size difference in the model A years? i have a 29 tudor sedan the hood i have doesnt fit the shell just right its like it is too short. i can bring the top of the shell in to meet, but the sides of the shell doesnt meet the hood. i was told the hood is off of a 29, but i dont really know other than it has a ridge running along it down by the hood sides. do i have the right hood or is this a four door hood? thanks

Sounds like a fordor or cabriolet hood but it should be the same lenght as a std. 29 hood.

All hoods were the same for all models for all 28-29s and 30-31s

I think early 28's different, 29 briggs,60 a-b-c-15b 1929 murry 1929 cabriolet were different than other 29 hoods. all others used same hood. all 1931 cars were the same have fun modelAtony lafayette,la

When you say length, it sounds like you mean top to bottom, but I think of hood length as front to rear.

yes but aren't they dimensionally the same, 28-29 amd 30-31?

As said, it sounds like you have a Fordor/Cabriolet hood. However the fit would be the same as the only difference is the beltline a few inches above the hood side hinge.

Are the lower rear corners of the hood sides too close (opposite the front corners)? If not it sounds like a radiator issue. It's a long shot but it could be an early '30 "AA" commercial radiator. I photo of the back side of the radiator would tell.
