Thanks 3W2 I have had my 33 Fordor since Easter. I can see what you mean re the dash swap over (glad its not a 34)! I will have all the modifications completed by October so I can satisfy the Queensland Transport Dept. that will allow me to have open registration. Thanks again Regards Brian Lewis Queensland Australia

With respect, there was only one dash/instrument panel stamping for both LHD and RHD passenger cars during the '33 model year as the instrument panel insert and the glove box are interchangeable side to side. The only difference in the two complete dash assemblies was the location of the bracket for the lamp illuminating the instruments (gauges) which is a pretty easy task to relocate from one side to the other. Perhaps you are thinking a '34 model dash where the instrument panel is integral with the rest of the dash which required unique LHD and RHD stampings.

Hi All I have purchased an all steel 1933 Fordor sedan and I am searching for a new dashboard that is from a right hand drive car. I would appreciate any assistance in locating one. Regards Brian (Australia)

Hi All I received the back copy of the "The V8 Album" yesterday and after reading it, I have decided to choose either a 33 or 34 Fordor as my project. I feel that the best way to achieve the car I want is to buy a project already started, so if anyone knows of a 33/34 Fordor all steel relatively rust free project preferably with all the parts avaliable, I would be interested to hear. Thanks again for all your assistance. Regards Brian (Australia)

Hi All I have hopefully located the books I require to assist me with my choice of Ford model to build a hotrod. Macs in the US say the V8 Album is on back order and should be shipped to me around the 18th of August along with a CD and two other books all within $5 of the shipping price of one book. Thanks for all your advice Regards Brian Lewis (Australia)

Unfortunately, none of the V-8 Club's books nor the DeAngelis/Francis book are available in digital form. Overseas postage costs have become a serious cost deterrent to acquiring books published in the U.S. One cost savings idea Club members in Australia and New Zealand have been using has been to combine orders as three books cost the same to mail as one.

Try searching here, at fordbarn.com, at ahooga.com and HAMB for "The V8 Album". Include the "" so you get only hits with all the words. Be sure to check alternate spellings "V 8" or " V-8" since people may list it differently. Be sure to call on the old ads because if they still have the book they will probably drop the price. Also ask if anyone has one that the could read you the information you need. Charlie Stephens

Brian, go to the Foundation website and scroll down to where you see "Contact us". You will see an e-mail address and a phone # for the Foundation director, Josh Conrad. He's very responsive to both methods of contact.

Hi again tjford8, I have not been successful as to be able to see "The V8 Album" in the Early Ford V8 foundation book store listing. It is probably my inability to navigate the system correctly. Do you know of a know of another direct way in, so I can purchase this addition? Regards Brian Lewis (Australia)

Brian, It is an excellent book (The Early Ford V8 As Henry Built It, A Production Facts Book, 1932-1938) but does not contain the information you need. Charlie Stephens
