    I did a search but couldn't find much. I'm new with early Fords and trying to learn the basics. When installing 32 grill on a stock 1930 ford coupe is it possible to use the 30 hood and sides without modification?

    Yes you can with no mods to the hood. The hood hinge is different on a 32, you would need to make up something for that.

    You will have to slightly modify your orig. Radiator (move the filler neck back, or relocate it to the back for a filled shell) I would keep your eyes open for a 32 radiator.

    Hi Supercab78,

    I have plans to make the '32 grill change. Here's a link from some of out HAMB brethren that you may find useful:

    I hope this helps.
