Technical 32 Tudor Firewall Body Connection

I’m getting ready to disassemble my 32 Ford Tudor so it can be painted and I have a question about the firewall.
I haven’t taken anything apart yet but looking at the firewall I don’t see anything that looks like a connection between the firewall and the body. I think the firewall is a Brookville, it’s a repop for sure. Does the body just sit on the firewall with a rubber seal/gasket with the frame bolts holding the body down. I know there are two curved struts under the dash connecting it to the firewall but I don’t see anything holding the body and firewall together.

Thought I’d check with you’all before I dig in.

 

The center bolt of cowl to frame is what pulls body down onto gasket you describe above. So yes, no other fasteners.

 

Great, thanks

 

not a '32 guy but doesn't the rear hood hinge retainer bolt through the cowl and into the firewall ?

 

Just the firewall

 

Besides the body pull down brackets at the bottom of the cowl the rear hood hinge bracket has 4 bolts, 2 front bolts that bolt to the firewall and the 2 rear bolts go thru the firewall lip on the body and thru the firewall.

 

Listen to the man that has built plenty of Deuces. HRP

 

@krylon32 is correct, the rear bolts are 1/4-20’s and I’m pretty sure the fronts are 12-24 thread.

 

Photos to illustrate above comments. First the hood bracket from the top and then then from the bottom.

As usual you guys are spot on, 100% correct. Thanks for the input
