Restoration Qs...28 hood shelves

[d.j. moordigian]

I know what the front of the 1928 hood shelves look like. What I would
like to see is the difference in the rear. I think there are 2 or 3 different
styles at the rear. Does anyone have photos and which one is which?

Thanks, Dudley

P.S...yes I did read the JS, photos would help.

As the cowling did not extend beyond the firewall on the early 28's the cutout at the back end of the hood shelf is short to match the cowling; also on the early hood shelfs the curvature is deeper where it meets the front splash apron as the early splash apron does not have a revel on the top of the sides.

When the cowling was extended, the cut out was lengthed to match the new cowling and the curvature is not as great as a revel was added to the front splash apron.

Would post a picture but never figured out how to do it.
