NO, the belts on a '32 won't match the Model A and the bottom of the 32 side panel curves down, see first 3 pictures. The last two show the same areas on a Model A. When using a '32 shell on a '30-'31 Model A you need to use the Model A hood. You will need a mount for the front of the Model A hinge. Note also that the '32 shell will not go directly onto a Model A radiator, the fill neck is too for forward on the '32 shell and the fill neck will need to be moved. An alternative is to shave the '32 shell and mount the fill cap under the hood. Another alternative (that I am using on my '32) is to remove the radiator neck and install a '32 cap and bezel with a fabricated bracket to hold the cap on to the shell. With the radiator fill under the hood you can use a pressure cap.
