1939 Twelve front inner fenders and support rods

Recently purchased this 1939 Twelve Formal Sedan. All of the front inner fenders, support rods and louvered sheet metal for under engine are in a box with a bunch of bolts and several misc. brackets. Is there an illustrated resource that shows how all of this should be assembled? I have a general idea but would like it to be 100% correct. Any help is appreciated.

wonder how many are still running and driving? Mine should be the 26th Formal sedan from 1939.

Thanks all for the great information. I'll keep you posted on progress. I am also adding my car to the registry. Any feedback on the model would be great. Anyone have a clue as to how many 1939 Formal Sedans were produced?

Thank you for the reply. To clean the silencers, do you have to pull the carb, intake and exhaust, then remove the valve cover?

Just purchased a 39 Formal Sedan. Engine runs but has 2 issues. One head has been welded in the past and is leaking. I plan to replace both heads with new manufactured heads from Empire. The valves seem to make more noise than I would expect. My plan of attack here is to remove the oil pan and then remove the oil pump clean the metering valve. If anyone has experience with the V12, I would certainly appreciate some insight here. Are there any O-rings or seals on the metering valve? Is there any adjustment on the valve silencers or tappets? Should I try the metering valve and see what happens or go ahead and remove the intake/exhaust and valve cover to inspect the Silencers? Car has 44,000 original miles in very good condition been in the same family since 1960 with good care. Also the shop manual is ok but would really like a better "how to" book on the engine. Is there anything available? Anything to watch out for during this work?
