    I think 1934 might be the same or close. I don't know of anyone making metal ones. Maybe some of these companies that are making fiberglass bodies might make them. Put an add in the want section here and see what happens.

    A long time ago I cut and spliced up a set for a 3 window Buick from a 4 door Chevie. Both were 1934's. The front 1/2 fit perfectly with screw holes even aligning . The lower back corner also fit with a piece spliced in. The upper right corner was strictly 3 window. Don't know about 5 window. Try Hemmings for someone advertising parting out33-35
    Chevy,Buick Pontiac or Olds. They will probably have to be cut and spliced.

    I've done the cut and splice a few times. Find those cheaper sets that have the same profile, and cut them to pieces. It's just a big puzzle that you can weld together.

    I've got a huge pile of 39-40 Ford moldings that are very useful for making moldings for lots of 30's Fords. They might even be handy for another brand of car if the width is similar. Lots of times an uncommon brand of molding looks just like a high dollar Ford part.

    Maybe find a 4 door set, cut and fit as needed.
     
  7. 34 will fit as well . Is the car a master or standard as the trims are smaller for a standard car .the trims for the 1/4 windows are all but impossible to find and you will pay dearly for a set .I do have some other trims but you may have to cut to fit .

    Has to be a master, as I don't think they ever made a std. 5W.

    Garnishes are one of many things you can’t get for 33 34 Chevs. I gave up on building my 34 Coupe Ute because I could not source the timber, or garnishes I needed to rebuild the body. You either have to modify Sedan ones to suit or chase down the much rarer Coupe ones. If you do source some, find someone in your area who does fibreglassing. There is obviously a market for them even it’s a small one.
