Projects 1935 Ford tudor sedan flatback

Can anyone tell me if there is a piece of sheet metal behind the grill shell and in between the 2 front fenders on my sedan? All I have is a grill shell and the 2 front fenders. I have seen some pictures of some cars and there looks like there is something behind the grill shell and in between the 2 front fenders. Please help!

check out the 35 ford social group. maybe someone there can help.

 

Yes, there is a piece that attaches to the bottom of the grille and flows upward to the bottom of the radiator. I could take a picture tomorrow if you need it. Mine is all apart and the grille is at the blaster right now, but I have the other piece. The piece has louvers on each side of the crank hole. Mine was rough around the crank hole, so I filled it.

I think there is even a second piece behind there. I'll dig through my stuff tomorrow.

 

as already said , yes there is a piece....if you look close in this picture you can see that louvered panel behind the grille. in my opinion , `35's look stupid without them

`36's have a similar piece

 

Yes, the louvered panel bolts to the bottom of the grill and to the sides. Fills in the area below the radiator.

 

Mine was so thrashed that I had to get another one. Wescott has them but they are fibergl***.....but what the hell, you can't tell anyway.

 

WOW! Thanks guy's! I really appreciate this. Does anybody have one that they would like to sale or know where one is available?

FWIW - There isn't one in Bob Drake's catalog.

Here's the panel. Mine was pretty tough....all tore out around the crank hole. After seeing them go for around $150 on ebay I decided to patch mine up. There's no crank hole any more, but I don't plan on cranking it over anyway. And painted satin black, it won't be that noticable. There's no crank hole in my grille any more either.
