like i mentioned before, the fenders had been re punched to match this car and i think they are sedan fenders so we removed unnessasary holes and lost the offending bodyline that was hidden in lead and hammered and dollyed a new body line in the propper place.

the front side grills for the hood were quite badly pitted and looked as if a plating shop had had a go round at trying to repair them with no sucsess

we decided the best option was to machine a new set from brass and have them plated. took some time but they fit really nice and should be suitable replacements.they still need a little presicion hand fileing.

If you have the correct original vehicle number from the patent plate to go with the thief-proof <414072> I'd find it useful for my research on the topic.
