I admit this is a bit of a wild goose chase, but if any group of people could pull it off, it's a group of car folks. :) I am researching a car that was purchased from Denver approximately four or five years ago. The seller at that time said he had purchased the car a couple years earlier...

I love the look of the stainless an awful lot, as well. Besides, I need something to match those pricey old bumper bolts. :) I can always keep an eye out for another pair of painted lights.

Rounded up some headlights and bumper brackets. This car would have had painted headlight buckets originally, so I may end up painting them. I still need to find some old mounting hardware to replace the temporary shiny stuff. Would love to find an original commercial radiator cap out there...

Thanks, guys. Please let me know of if anyone has a pair.

I'm needing front bumper brackets for my '32 woodie. Are they the same as car and truck brackets? thanks

Did a dry fit of the passenger side today. Nice to see the actual shape of the car for the first time. :)

Just great, David! :) Now I want one of those! I guess I'll settle for the aftermarket one until then. :)

Since the antenna is not period correct for the woodie I will likely fill and paint them. HOWEVER . . . the topic got me to wondering if there were radios in 1932. The earliest models, beginning in 1930, had a control/speaker box that mounted somewhere under the dash and a head unit that...

I do like a good story :)

Cool. Might be fun to figure out how early they were available and find an old radio to go with it. I'll have to do some research. Obviously, I won't do anything to compromise the woodie's originality, but the holes are already there, so what the heck.

Thanks, Bob. Do you know when these were available?

I'd love to see a pic of one of those antennas, if anyone has one. Was this a period aftermarket piece? Dealer installed? Or are we talking something much later? Thanks so much for the replies.

I assumed spare tire at first, but the bracket only appears to attach to the frame and to two smaller holes near the front edge of the cowl.

Hello, all. I'm wondering what these holes are for? They are cleanly cut and appear original, yet I haven't seen them on other '32s. Please remember, I'm a novice . . . so if the answer is obvious, please shame me nicely :-)

Well, there's still a looooong way to go . . . but I'm starting to get a feel for how it's going to come together. Still hunting parts, so please keep that in mind. I have a wish list on the swap forum. I did get a rear fender from Greg in CT. Just need to get it home now. :) One front...
