Hi Guys,
Continuing to disassemble my 33 and hope you don't mind my continued questions. Attached are a few pics of 2 33 inner fenders that I have. Does anyone know why the differences or if one is early other later? Any input would be most appreciated.
Cheers

I don't know for sure, but I too guess it is early and late. When Henry changed the fender brace steady rods from attaching to the top of the spring tie/crank guide, to attaching to the crossmember. That would have made a difference in the hole location.
Or it could have been from when they changed the stead rods from a forged rod to a stamped strap.

Neither is the earliest version. The lower one is a mid-model-year one and the upper likely the last of the '33 versions.

Note the additional arch cut out for the shock mounting clearance on the upper panel. This was not necessary until 34.

130 driver.. Do you have an extra matching set? I have been looking for a pair. I will most likely run front stock shocks, so I suppose I would need that shock cutout?

The 33s did not use the external shock or the cutout, they were started on the 34s. I have some single versions of various years but probably no extra exact matching pairs. What year and early or late version are you looking for and I can check? Rich in Eastern WA

My '33 with an April SN is like the bottom one with the verticle hole for fender brace round steady rod that connects to the crossmember.

I have a 33 three window body that had a 34 grafted cowl onto it. I just purchased a 34 grill and will be needing to find a 34 hood.

So, I suppose I'm looking for a pair like the top, with the horizontal hole and the shock cut out.

This is how I purchased the car.

Looks like a 34 body with 33 doors to me. Oh, I see you have a 34 front half of the body.
