[chiliman]

Got a question for Brent or Marco Is the cowl band about a inch longer on a early 30 fourdoor. Replaced the lower cowl with patch from Brattions seams the bead is longer and closer to the hood now and the cowl band is to long. but on my 30 two door the cowl band comes to the bead . gosh hate to cut a inch off each side but not much choice I gess any input thanks

Some of the very early 30 cars have a longer cowl band. Eyebrow fender cars. Something like January and February 30.

Here is a picture of the longer cowl band.

I have a January '30 Murray town sedan, eyebrow fenders. The cowl band is one of a number of unusual parts. It goes flat to the splash apron, not rounded (and it looks different). Also a mix of '29 and '30 parts, ie: rear cross brace, cowl lights, rear view mirror, etc. Guess the '29 bins weren't totally empty when this one came down the line!

They are not remotely close in shape or design as the '29 is brass moulding that snaps onto a permanent retainer or base moulding. With that said, I'm crazy enough to repair/change the cowl back to the way it was to preserve the uniqueness of the very early '30 design. They aren't very common.
