Any help is appreciated
thanks

Re: Cowl number identification

Its suppose to be a 31. If I can get a site or any info on where I can get what I need I would be happy to do the work myself. I am going to make a new wood frame for the inside of the car so I got plenty of time to figure out the small details.

Re: Cowl number identification

anything? I am only 28 and have restored cars from the 60's and 70's but I love the prewar cars. I have a complete car and just ordered a new wood frame and would like to make this as original as I can. Any help would be appreciated.
