Grille and Hood differences 28-29 A AR

[al's28/33]

The very early 28's have the hood lacing woven between holes in the shell like the Model T, all others were riveted. The crank hole molding at the bottom was a circle for '28, in '29 the molding contoured slightly to the bottom of the shell like a bell.

Great! Okay. Good info.

How about the hood? Number of louvers and placement the same? I was thinking that the louver layout was different between hoods, and maybe even more different for the AR.

Is it possible to modify a later shell to look like an earlier one? Can you post photos-I'd like to learn the difference. Thanks.
