need help with a 37 ford 4 door

Hello guys!!!

Newbie here and looking for some information. I am restoring a 37 ford 4 door for one of my best customers! I restore Camaro, Chevelle and Nova's, so I am certianly out of my element!!!!

Thank you in advance for any help you guys can provide!

1) Is there a body ***embly manual for this car?

2) Can you tell me what would attach to the 4 holes? I have the engine covers (between the hood and fenders). But something should go here, I think.

Thanks again. I am sure more questions will come up. You guys can follow the restoration at www.bowtiespecialties.com in the current projects section.

I don't know if there is a body ***y manual or not but I don't think so...

The four holes I believe are for rubber hood bumpers so the hood doesn't touch the sides of the firewall when it's installed.

 

the four holes get rubber bumpers as lintmann suggested..

 

Cool ...!
Loves me some '37s.

As for "restoring" it, you're off on the wrong foot already. I don't think valve covers were an option in 1937 ...!!

 

You are right!!!! It's more of a resto mod. He wants to keep some things era correct but have the rest updated.

 

I hear ya .... just kinda givin' you a hard time.

Technically, I should have been able to answer your original question about the holes, since my very first car was a '37 coupe.

But considering that was in 1959, I guess you'll forgive me for not remembering ....!
