I am in the middle of re-assembling the front sheet metal on my 36. Like everyone else has said, It is a puzzle.
Don't know for sure but I think the grille and radiator are original to the car. I have 2 radiators but they are a bit different. On one, the top pipes exit from the bottom surface of the top tank, going straight down. It has no markings on it.

On the other, the pipes exit the bottom surface of the top tank at an angle toward the engine. That tank has B4 stamped on the top tank.

It is possible that neither radiator is of the original type. If not, maybe the trouble I'm having is with the radiator.
Does anyone have pictures of a "correct" 36 sedan radiator they would share? It would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks
Royal

1936 radiator would have B4 stamped on the top of it. can you put pics up of both radiators? that would really help. the top inlets should point kind of down the way towards the engine as per below pic

Weemark, thanks for the reply. I haven't had any luck trying to post pics. One of my radiators has B4 stamped on it, so I suppose it is a 36.
Thanks for the clue.

Thanks, Don. Looks exactly like mine. Now if I can get it all to bolt together! Sure doesn't want to bolt up right.
