    I picked these up in a swap meet a few years ago....they are Model A, but I'm unsure of the year. Any help guys?

    Anybody know if these stampings are still available? If so, how much are they going for these days?

    I'm considering whether to sell them or hang onto them. I don't have a Model A, but figured they'd make a good start to a roadster style hot rod body if I came across an old cowl to work with.

    THANKS for any help.:)

    Those look like 28/29 wheel houses.
    Attached is a picture of my 31 Coupe with stock sheetmetal............they are different as the reliefs on the 30/31 came to a Y, and 28/29 reliefs did not meet.............I think!

    To my kowledge knowone makes a stamping of what you have.
    All of the wheel house repo's are seperate from the quarter because usually the upper quarters are not rusted out, only the bottoms..............and it is easier to cut the wheel house away from the quarter than cut the quarter...................looks very interesting as the body (quarter reveal) is part of the stamping. If these are accurate and good fit I'd say they are worth $500 for the pair................again, knowone makes this quarter/wheel house
    piece....................I don't know of anyone that makes the quarter piece above the wheel house.

    IMHO

    What would make them specific for a roadster?

    The fact that the beads do not actually meet is the 'roadster' giveaway...

    There is no lip above the wheelwell....must be 28-29 coupe or roadster.
