First picture upper left: Front fender braces, late style (early style extended to fender).
First picture middle: Strut braces, goes from fender braces to frame.
First picture upper right, engine pan (not sure of which side)
First picture bottom, Grill to frame shield.

the heavier supports are for head light under fender support. The one with the bigger hole in the center is the driver side pan, the one with rounded lip is for under radiator. the smaller braces could be rear front fender supports? If i remember correctly

Yes, I see the engine pan and late 35 fender braces under headlights in the 35 36 Ford Book. I will test fit those thin braces on the rear fenders.

One end of the small bracket is attached to the middle of the large bracket, then goes thru a hole in the fender splash panel after which the other end gets attached to the radiator support bracket. Have some good pictures, but away from home and this is about all I could quickly find in that regard:

Ohh, no, that is good, I would've never thought that small bracket goes there.

Henry Ford IV. After having spent many hours assembling my 35 convertible sedan which
had been completely apart for over 40 years, I'd like to pass on this advice concerning the
small front fender braces. Don't snug them up tightly until your front fenders have been
installed and you see how well the center hole in the main bracket lines up with the hole
that the headlamp stud inserts through. There is the ability to slightly adjust the fender
bracket hole with the small diagonal brace on each side.

"Don't snug them up tightly" is good advice for all bolts in all fenders, until all bolts are started.

Re: Need Help To Identify 35 Ford Sheet Metal Parts
 

Thanks, I won't snug them. The car is coming together. It was taken apart about 15 years ago, the owner did the frame and took the body off and primered it. He put the body on the frame with the running gear and then got too sick to finish it. I finished the engine, got most of the wiring in and am putting the front end on it. Needs interior.

The engine tin is the left side, will need to be installed with the pitman arm disconnected from the front steering as it goes in the big hole.

Re: Need Help To Identify 35 Ford Sheet Metal Parts
 

That solves that part, thank you, I hope disconnecting it isn't too big of a job. The passenger side headlight arms are loosely in...even though it was about 30 degrees in the garage today.

Unheated garage, attached to basement. It is 12 degrees outside!

Re: Need Help To Identify 35 Ford Sheet Metal Parts
 

If I could get to my shop I'd almost think 30 degrees good enough to do some work.

I have a few old Fords and I cherish every one, but not enough to work in these temps! lol

Hope you all made it through the big storm
