    I need rear wheel well patches and lower rocker panels for a '32 3 Window.

    I know Brookville has everything for a '32 3W at crazy prices, just wondering if anybody else is making these parts?

    Ask **** Spadero/Early Ford Reproductions where his parts come from, they have for the most part worked in the past.

    **** Spadaro gets his stuff from Tom Bay in Ark. I think that Howell's gets some stuff there as well because the last parts I got from **** had the exact same part # written on them as the Howell's parts shown on ebay.
    Regardless, I have used ****'s outer rockers and they are decent pieces. If you might be intereted in a set, PM. me as I have a new set that I can't use for my 3w...had to get full brookville subrail/rocker ***emblies instead.
    To my knowledge no one makes wheel houses for a 3W...both brookville & Tom Bay make 5w/roadster houses. Lots of guys use these in 3w's although they are totally different...there are 3-4 cars with them in the "3w picture" thread. Although you didn't ask, no one makes inner door pieces for a 3w either...I asked Tom about this & he said there just wasn't enough demand to justify making them. If anyone finds someone that makes the wheel houses or inner doors, let me know!!!

    Yep, **** Spadaro is the man you want to talk to and order from!!!:D Lots of junk out in the marketplace and a Expert like Mr Spadaro will save you time ,money and a headache, plus he's pretty cheap on the prices too.

    Pat Pryor, read the thread on 32 grille shells before you buy. They vary so much from shell to shell and you don't want to get burned. I went a rant about deuce shells but there is some real **** out there. I overall have still had my best luck with Vintique.
