Gunsmoke Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) These 2 sheet metal pieces came with my barn find '31 CD8 Roadster, I have no idea what they are, cannot figure any spot on the Roadster where they masy go. They match profile of front frame horns? Measure about 20"x6". Any ideas what they are?

hchris Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 To me they look like the inner front valance panels, they enclose the area inside the front springs/chassis rails with another piece that closes under the radiator shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Perhaps for a different car then, the CD8 chassis has a crossmember in that location to support the rad, only about 12" from front horn. They are very thin metal which suggests to me they may not be for exterior but rather for an interior application of some sort. There are also small "bend-over style" rivets and rivet holes along one edge, suggesting an interior application. One of them had a tiny scrap of fabric/insulation held to a rivet? The semi-circle notch to accomodate a round item is also intriguing. In any event, don't think they belong to my car, so I'll hang them on a wall and someone may ID them some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
