John LaVoy : " . . . . using the sides off of a Chevy hood at the time."

Yes, that was done on occasion. In the early 60's I had done the same thing. The challenge however, is that the '32 (and only the '32) Chevrolet had a longer 6 cylinder engine and hence a longer hood (and hood sides). So a bit of metal work was needed to make it fit the shorter requirements of the 4-cylinder Ford Model A. The '32 Chevrolet was the only 'Low Priced' car that had the doors on the hood-sides. Other 'upscale' cars of the period that had the doors on the hood sides had much larger (longer) engines and hence had 4 and sometimes 5 doors on the sides - way too much to be useful in chopping down for the small length required by the lowly Model A.
