    Your start looks remarkably similar to my avitar. I've been wondering what it looks like under my primer. Not as good as yours I'm sure. Very nice.

    this is interesting..never heard about this before. I always was under the impression that Ford used Lacquer..always told everyone it was the old lacquer that is to blame for the spider cracking.

    My early '35 coupe has the narrow header panel.

    Just look where the upper tack strip is and you will be able to determine which panel fits your coupe.

    There's nothing like original paint, so many cars were over restored over the last 3 years and very few Relic survivors are left. I've been lucky enough to find 32 and a 36 original paint cars, and I'd never dream of re-painting them.
    Good on ya.

    too cool! Nice job on saving the paint- bought an original paint car once that had been primered and I wiped the primer off with rags and lacquer thinner.
