Model A hood sides
Saw these today on a 1930 Woody. Are they originals?

Not original to Ford, though they were an aftermarket offering back when. That style of venting was common to Chevrolet as well as a few others. Rootlieb makes a set of Ford hood sides with doors like those.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.

Thanks guys. At first I thought it was a Chevy as we were approaching it, but didn't see the 4th vent, then saw the blue oval and had to go back and take pictures. It also looked too good that it didn't look like someone had grafted Chevy vents into the side of original hood sides...Robert

I tried rubber isolators between the frame and pump, but it made little difference. I don't mind spinning the motor over to refill the carb(s), it allows time to build oil pressure, jmho..
