I was going through some body parts for the next project and I noticed that the cowl posts dont have the body line that is at the bottom then runs up the front. What do I have? I just have the cowl so im a little lost here. Thanks ross
Always best to post a pic or two so we can be exactly sure what you mean and you will get the correct answers.
If I saw the right pic, you have the lower half of 1928/29 closed car pillars from a model A Tudor or Coupe. There pillars did not have a belt line pressed in them. The center body line finishes at the middle hinge. It appears somebody has chopped the upper windshield portion off.
Hinge block is wrong for a model T and the T pillar is more rounded on the front edge. Definietly a model A 28/29. This will not fit a model A pickup or open car body.
I know its A you cant see the tank in the pic but its still there. The post is deeper so im thinking it might be an AA cowl
If you think it is an AA cowl post then the hinge is wrong as AA's have the same hinges as the last model T's and model A pickups. If there is more to be said about it them I am sure somebody will come on a clear things up.
What you have there is a 30/31 cowl and tank. 28/29 had a vertical post just ahead of the door. Compare pix of 28/29 and 30/31 and you can see the difference. ................Jack
I know its a 28/29 I have the detachible side pannels in my garage. If you look at the othercar its a 30/31 solid sides and no cowl post. I just didnt realise that only the open cars had that body line.
You also need to check out the shape of the fuel tank top, 28/29 don't have the curved shape of the 30/31 tank top, sides. 28/29 cowl side/tank seam is straight. ..........Jack
Thats cool jack. This is going to be my second A. Plan is a 28 rpu. Trying to deside if I want to cut up and make due with these posts or find real roadster ones
Good luck with your project Ross, I've got a 31 cc pickup waiting till I finish the '26 modified.Looks like it will be a while before I can start on it . ..............Jack
