I'm building a '32 sedan I picked up from a member on here, it's going to be a 50's style hot rod, but I want to have the full stock style interior, all glass, weather stripping, etc, but there are some pieces that I'm not totally 100% sure on how they go together. Rather than guessing on little details, I'd like to get them right. Is there any books available or sites online that go through assembly and detail on finishing out the interior, window channels, misc. brackets, parts like that? I want to do it right the first time. Thanks guys.

You should contact companies like LeBaron Bonney at 1-800-221-5408 and Mac's (Cartouche upholstery) at 1-800-777-0948, they should be able to provide the information you need.
 
The best book around on 32's is the restoration guide put out by the Early Ford V-8 Club of America. It's two volumes and is the most complete book ever written on the 32 Ford. You can purchase it by going to; www.earlyfordv8.org. It's worth every penny if you own a 32.

The Long Awaited "32 Ford Book from The Rodder's Journal
The Rodder's Journal is proud to announce the publication of Deuce, the quintessential book devoted to the 75 most significant Deuce hot rods as selected for the 75th Anniversary of the 1932 Ford display at the 2007 Grand National Roadster Show. This display was an extremely rare event, and perhaps never before or since has so much hot rodding history been in one place at one time.

also check for the back issue of "Rodder's Journal" , number 32, august 2006.

I have a full LeBaron Bonney interior already for it.

I'll check out these books, I did hear of the '32 restoration guide but totally forgot about it, I'll pick that one up for sure.

Thanks guys.
