Vicky windshield frame question
I just bought a stack of parts out of a garage, basically it was the whole car minus a body. A 1931 Vicky ( Apparently the guy was having the body painted, and the shop that was doing the work burnt down and the body was destroyed ) Anyway; Im going to put another body on it, and Im selling off any Vicky only parts, so I was wondering if the windshield frame is Vicky only? or will it fit in any Model A? I want to make sure the specific Vicky only parts make there way to the guy who needs them.

Re: Vicky windshield frame question
The hood and chassis and fuel tank will be the same as any A of the same manufacture date (there is a body bracket on the frame that might be vicky only).
The remainder of the cowl, dash rail, windshield etc is the same as the slant windshield fordor, as are front door window regulators, and door latches. Basically everything else on the body is victoria only. |

Re: Vicky windshield frame question
While there are Vicky specific parts there are also Slant windshield specific parts on the body.
Your best bet to utilize the maximum amount of parts from the donor car is to use a slant windshield body. Things like original window regulators are rare for slant body cars and won't fit in just any other body. Sucks about the parts I asked about.

The frame will be for a slant window with the #6 bracket and the 2/3 holes rearward. The #6 brackets can be removed and sold if you are putting a striaght window body on the frame. It is worth your time taking them off. |

Re: Vicky windshield frame question
The gas tank is vicky specific if it is an early '31... The steering column bracket is different.

Re: Vicky windshield frame question
I am new and not sure if this is ok to do. I have a slant windshield town sedan. I could use any good door locks and window regulators that you would like to sell.
