The PM response I gave you a couple days ago is all I can tell you.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Can't you just take a measurement of a 32 radiator to see what size it is?

there are radiator companies out there that make radiators for 28-29 A's. Why not call one of them to ask dimensions.

No dimensions anyone has on their car will mean anything to you about your car. The only way to do it is set the grilleshell up so it looks right on yours (top no higher than the top of the cowl) then measure the distance you have between the top of the frame and the inside top of the shell. If you try to go off of someone elses dimensions you may end up with a $ 795 doorstop.

I agree with Don. Fab up the '32 grill shell on your car and take the dimensions from there. There are companies out there like PRC that will build a '32 radiator to your specifications. And it will not cost your almost $800.00 if you go aluminum.
