32 grill bull nose id
More parts that came with my Vicky.
I suspect that the broken parts are original 32 but what about the unbroken one ? Is it possible to have it repaired? Thanks to all the experts for responding. |

Re: 32 grill bull nose id
I had a pot metal window winder handle for our German 32 Ford repaired and chromed by Paul’s Chrome Plating up in PA and they did a fantastic job, with that said….the repair on yours would, at minimum, have to have the radiator shell on hand, as it will need to be repaired to fit exactly. Without it, IF it’s 1/16 or more off either direction, it’s not good!!!!

Not worth repairing the two-piece ornament given the quality of the still-available Drake reproduction. The one-piece ornament appears to be a shortened original which if re-plated could be a one-of-a-kind novelty.

Re: 32 grill bull nose id
David is spot on with his response !
Here is the issue with the Drakes. His are made to fit his emblem or vice versa so you need to purchase his blue emblem. Awhile back I bought a bezel and emblem from a vendor. The bezel was a Drakes and emblem was Vintique. The Vintique emblem was a very loose fit,like there were gaps. I now get both items by Vintique.Drakes script and edge are to bold and not like the original but that's just me. |
