    Thank you ssffnomad.
    I dont know the exact year as the guy I got it off didn’t know either. It’s a studebaker heater that I completely restored. Core and all. I ended up using a small piece of the side trim off the heater box as a vertical accent on the gauge panel I fabbed. Thought it carried the waterfall dash detail nicely.
    Front end ***embly of the 36 is an absolute beast. So many pieces have to work together like a puzzle. did you end up getting your bullnose Drake piece to fit ? Is your rad in the correct holes on the frame? Could you pull the rad back 1/4” with the rad brace rods ? You mentioned they were maxed out ‍♂️

    I found I could get my hood sitting right just by adjusting the radiator steady rods. Keep the front fenders & horn panels slightly loose when making the adjustments with the steady rods.
