    Easiest way to tell a Henry body is to reach in the window and put your hand under the dash to where the cowl light would be. ALL Henry bodies have a rectangular reinforcement with a pilot hole for the cowl light option. Done.

    That's not an arc weld flash-it's the sparks flying from a resistance weld.

    Real Henry 3 Windows were quite a bit cruder, used a fair amount of lead, and the roof was ***embled differently.
    Windshield pillars in particular were fairly crude before leading. will try and send pics later today.Lead was used in rockers, at the rear roof corners, at the bottom og the trunk where those braeutful sculpted corners meet the lower pan
    Brookeville wood will also still be pretty fresh looking. Real Henry will be oxidized almost black in appearance.
    there's a few quick things. Side by side there's a million little items but either way, if the price is right yer a winner

    It's always good to get the blood flowing talking about 32's.

    The rear floor section behind the seat is completely different than an original body.Brookville's are basically flat because they use their roadster floor .The original 3W has floor pockets around the banjo rear end.Victoria has same rear floor section also.That would be the quickest tell tale sign without reaching your hands all over or pulling panels if the car is finished.If you can't see the floor from the trunk look at it from underneath.

    Even if the cars lived in California all their lives there will be rust pitting on the undeside of the floor pans and cross members. How do the wheel well spot welds compair Brookville vs Henry?
