I went picking up flathead parts on Fri & was treated to touching a NOS 33 grille , soooooooooo beautiful !! also a 33 repop grille hanging beside them . Sorry no camera with me . NOS 32-36 crankshaft still in orig box .
I were picking up 2 36 sedan fenders & ended up also buying a K R Wilson engins stand , the craddle kind . The fine older gentlman had lots of parts , in middle of restoring a 35 Phaeton & had a stunning fully restored 35 Phaeton. I picked up a 59ab engine on the way to getting my fenders .
Just another great flatheads parts collecting adventure.
Cheers

Tony; Isn't there someone in Australia there that is restamping 35 grills? I found them on the internet once and have not been able to relocate. Thanks Dave/Green Bay
 
Dave , sorry I cant help you , I have lived in the US for 28 years . The 35 & 33 NOS grilles were both factory chromed .
Cheers

Tony, sounds like you had an excellent day, good hunting. see you in Dawsonville for the Moonshine Festival. I'm thinking about hosting a BBQ on Friday the 22nd at my Mom's, after the driving tour. Hope you can make it. Vic
 
Vic , Cindy & I were down at Dawsonville last weekend at our friends , visiting & I picked up a Sun distributor machine with the flathead adaptor .
I plan on being at the Moonshine fest. Look forward to seeing you there !

Tony,I got a new reproduction 33 grill from a guy who made them in Mississippi,he also had a nos 33 on the wall,I could not tell the difference from his reproductions.
PS, we picked up the new heads for the dragster on Tuesday from NZ,VERY nice, roller cam is in too.
How is your boos doing,I here he was in Hos.

Mike in Fl/Wv , wow I will do that , how many people can say they have touched 33,34,35 NOS grilles 75 years after they were made. What a treat !!
Lawrie the biggest diference I couls tell was in the plating & where the orig grille was painted .
Jack will be ok , possibly will lose his eye , but he has another & is still with us !!!! He has a long rehab time ahead of him !
So glad the dragster enging is coming along so well !
Cheers
Tony
 
WOW ...Thanks Ray....... it keeps amazing me what is still out there ..........
I have a Black NOS spare tire ring & face plates complete, for both a 36 & a 35 ford , ring is still in cheese cloth
 
Just bought a 35 grille from Sacramento Ford. It is one of the Aussie grilles and I would say it is beautiful.

It did cost $2250 + shipping.

I was in the store and saw a sign attached to a 34 grille saying they had both years in stock. The guy at the counter said they did not have any 35 grilles so I showed him the sign whch had a different part number than the standard FORD number. He did some checking, talked to his boss and they both came out from the back with it saying "I wish they would tell us when they get sometbing in"

The part number is 13110-35
