Topic: 1938 assembly

  I am re-assembling my 1938 std coupe that I took apart some 30 years ago. Is there any publication that shows how all of the pieces go together? I have the 1939-39 Ford book but it does not address how the front end, grill, side panels, hood go together. The rest of it is pretty logical but as usual I have several pieces left over!
Someone must have made an exploded drawing at some time.

  p.364 of Ford's green chassis parts book of 1949.

  Looking at the "body drop" picture, perhaps I should assemble the entire front end less the hood and side panels before I worry about the rest!
I do like to solve puzzles.

  I could probably "walk you through it", as I have done it several times, just not recently.
PM me.
