Looks like the one on the right has been cut off on the bottom.

It is interesting to see that the "tabs" on each side of the Crank Handle Hole are is a different position between these two illustrations? Are you sure that they are supposed to be the same item?

Yes, there were two versions of grille splash pans for 35 pass cars. The pan on the left is mid to late year production. The early version is not shown. The pan on the right is not correct for 35, and it looks as though it has been cut up, possibly from another year pan. Bob Drake is/or was reproducing a version of the 35 grille pan.

Here are the two pans you speak of, top is early, bottom is mid-to-late

ALSO Ball & Chain
The Inner fender aprons are different depending on "early" & "Late" so if you are going for correctness and have the inner fender aprons you need to match the correct grill apron!!! Again for "Correctness" |

.....and if going for correctness on a '35 Ford..... the large top tank radiator goes with the early to mid year grille splash pan, and the small top tank radiator goes with the late year grille splash pan. Plus there are early and late lower radiator shields to consider. All of this is covered in the Early Ford V-8 Club of America 1935 - 36 Ford Book by Don Rogers and John Swanberg. An excellent book to own if you are working on a '35 or '36 Ford.

John,
It isn't quite that straightforward as according to the engineering releases for both radiators the large top radiator continued to be used throughout the '35 model year at assembly plants whose output was destined for southern climates and the small top radiator was used primarily in assembly plants whose output was destined for northern climates. This meant that the respective grille aprons both continued to be used throughout the model year given that their principle difference is their accommodation of the radiator drain pipe which differed between the two radiators. |

Here is a larger picture showing the two variations, as posted by Bobby. |
