Thought I'd post the resto of the heater my best bud Melvin gave me for my 1935 Ford 5W. I found an E150 heater core fit very well. A fellow Hamb'er was kind enough to point me to some wiring info at the Ford Barn. All in all it looks so much better than an aftermarket heater. If you're wondering why the heater isn't centered it's because I needed to make foot room for the throttle, my size 14 and the heater.
Im about to go through my heater. Whats the link to the ford barn for the wiring? Sent from my SM-G960U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Looks like you nailed the hammer finish. I had read mixed reviews on te Rust-Oleum Hammer paint. Any special advice with using their paint? I'm thinking of perhaps using it on my vintage Allen Syncrograph.
Thanks. I've used it a lot. It's a shake and spray affair. I lay on a light coat first followed by two wet coats. Like any other paint the surface has to be clean. I sand with 180grit then wipe with alcohol the day before I paint and bring it inside the house with the paint to warm up. Paint and part should be the same temp. Then I leave it to dry for a few days. It's never failed me.
Those are real gems! It's real gratifying too, having good heat in the cabin (enough to "run you out" as they say) One very simple thing (among many) they screwed up in modern vee-hickles - as near as I can tell, the heater fan must be on and running at least one click to get any air flow. In the old beast, on cold though not-too-cold days, simply opening the heater core to coolant flow sends just enough hot air to keep it perfectly comfortable.
Thanks for tech tips . I have a vintage Firestone and three Stewart Warner Southwinds that are in nice shape but need a bit of “going over “ .
