This is not a restoration question. Hope I don't get banned!

I'm looking at mounting a reproduction 32 grill and shell on my 29 "A" pre-war banger hot rod project. I messaged the guy selling 32 shells on ebay because he said he would help anyone mounting one of his on an A Model. But I got no answer.

My big questions are 1) would an unfilled 32 shell with a radiator cap allow me run my stock Model A radiator? Do the filler holes match up? and 2) Is there a way to mount the shell to insure that my hood is going to fit correctly.

I tried asking this question over on the HAMB, but my thread never got much of a response before it went into the netherworld.

Thanks in advance for any advice or directions to some info.
