The EFV-8C/A Two-Volume 1932 Ford Book is high on my list of books to purchase.
The other EFV-8 Books I have are top notch. Great reference sources. TM |

Re: 1932 book on details
The real template for what you are doing is another car to copy. The book is not going to have the spacing of holes on the firewall and details that need to be seen and compared. The books are great, don't get me wrong, but a first hand account is still the best.

Re: 1932 book on details
I agree with Charlie. One thing I have learned is there was a huge amount of variety in the 32 model year. The changes early s late are big. I feel sorry for my Uncle who was doing this in the 60's with no reference manuals

Re: 1932 book on details
Glad I'm not a detailed guy. Probably would stay awake at night worried about the position of a cotter pin. I give you AACA restorers a lot of credit for patience and perseverance.

Re: 1932 book on details
As for me, I am trying to not get too crazy about it, but I do like to know if what I have is original or not. I would say for me it is curiosity more than rigidness. If I can make it right for about the same cost and effort, why not. So far I have not had to make a serious cost decision on correct vs just fixing it. If god forbid the motor blew I would definately be slapping a not original flathead v8 in it if I couldn't find a cheap B motor.
