The Brookville shell needs quite a bit of work, and their inserts - if they are currently shipping a Dale's, then it's fine, but many of the rest are for no better word - crap. Just as a note, my Brookville shell needed in excess of 20 hours to inset the grille by reworking the opening, fix the crease running down each side and fix the two low spots on the top plus reshape the raised ridge on the right side of the top at the weather strip. My supplier had several other new B'villes in stock - and those shells were as bad or worse then mine.

so whats your choice??? a original one or a glass one???I got one for the 32 in my gallery and it was super quality, and very nice fittment---I find it hard to imagine spending 20 hours just to fit the grille inset---that bad, send it back

I have seen many B'ville grille shells that are as bad or worse then mine, including several on cars as well as talking to owners. I have seen only one very good one that a friend picked up directly from B'vill at NSRA York. Even those I again look at every year while there - the quality "sucks". You must have been lucky enough to have gotten the other good one. There is little other choice except possibly the Drake's or Vintiques and fill the radiator cap hole. That is unless you can convince someone to part with an original without mortgaging the farm. Glass - Wescott's maybe, but not on my steel car

I agree that most glass ones I've seen are pretty poor--I returned a glass one to downs for the 32 in my gallery and got the brookville direct from them--very nice piece

original --maybe probably have to mortgage 5 or 6 farms!!!!!

thanks for answers

These people ship Internationally - it only takes money and are one of the biggest suppliers of parts for '32s as well as almost all other early Fords. A lot of the body parts they sell are probably manufactured by Brookville or Albrecht Garage

MACs Antique Auto Parts: http://www.macsautoparts.com/faq.html

This is a page of body parts including cowl repair patches.

My guess is that most of these early cars never made it past WW2 in France.

thanks
but i need complete side cowl like brookeville
not only the patch
