    These parts that came with my 5w were leftover after the build was completed. Are they 32 Ford and what the heck are they? Maybe headliner, roof rail structure from a sedan? thx

    Not any Deuce part that I've ever seen. But like Mac said they might be running board supports.
     
  4. Definitely not 32 Ford parts.

    The holes in the smaller arms suggest the under the running board radio antenna used by some makes.

    Agree with the above, they are not Deuce running board brackets.

    My highly developed Deuce radar has shown itself capable of locating '32 stuff in a closed cardboard box marked "Thunderbird parts." Those pics up there are not making it tingle...

    Looks like a bracket that bolts to a closed car inside to hold the wooden top bows in a closed car. Don't know if there 32's but different than my 34 sedan.

    Look like upholstery tack strip brackets to me .
    But not for a '32.

    thanks for the input, figured I'd check before I do something with them.

    I would agree, I think they are a combination tack strip and body brace that goes in an angle of a car body.

    Those brackets, if used as 'roof supports', could benefit some of the 'glass bodies I've had the displeasure of 'shoring up'...
     
  14. Skirtless33 is right, 33-34 sedan roof bow supports
