So are the new "reproduction bumpers" offered today made with Chevy (GM) original stamps and dies? Do they have the Bow Tie on the inside? Then they would have to be licensed by Chevy, and called reproduction parts. If not, then they are replicas...
(or are they excused 'cause they were never on the car when the dealer took delivery?)
...like the way I got back on the thread...
:p

Huh? What thread? ha ha!

I believe that the repro bumpers do not have the Chevrolet bow ties on the inside of the face bars and the barrel ends are straight instead of bowed. \:D \:D \:D \:D \:D

Some clubs/people want the original screews and washers, etc. used under the dash.

I (limited budget) try to get the car as original as I can, but I can't afford to make it "perfect" (whatever that means) to the day it rolled off the lot in '32. In the future someone (son, grandson, etc.) could make the car "more original". \:D It's like I start the car on the path and don't do anything that will destory originality.

Its' like the doctor's oath "I will do no harm...".

Remember now the 'string' is about fashion, so almost anything goes. \:D

Gator......do you know what the fourth largest killer is in the United States behind heart attacks, cancer and strokes? Doctors!! Yep, it's a fact, and over 600,000 people were either directly or indirectly killed by doctors last year. It was on the news a few weeks ago. At any rate, I wouldn't let a doctor work on your car if I were you! ha ha! \:D \:D \:D \:D

JunkYardDogJunkYardDog...the oath is great, now the problem is making the people who take the oath live up to the oath. OK?

And I've got a doctor's appointment at 4:00 today, thanks for the scary data to think about while reading old mags....maybe I should just go to my mechanic instead?? He wears a glove on his hand also... ouch!!

Always glad to help you out! If you go to your mechanic instead it would probably be a toss up as to who would do you the most good! ha ha! \:D \:D \:D \:D

Yeah guys, add my Dad to that list. JunkYardDogJunkYardDog you are right. Every time he went to the doctor's office he came back totally shot. They advised him not to do this and that until he wound up sitting on the couch until he died. He passed two years ago and we are still getting the bills!
Hey Gator, hope you didn't get the same treatment at your visit. Don't listen to them. Life is too short. Enjoy and NEVER give in!

Sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I have been through it too so I know where you are coming from. So far, six friends of mine have died in the past two years because of doctors, and it almost happened to this old dog twice too, and I can tell you some stories about doctors that you wouldn't believe. Anymore, it's almost impossible to find a really good and dedicated doctor that isn't out after your money. I know.......I've been looking for the past three years. The same can probably be said of some mechanics too. \:\( \:\( \:\(

However, I have finally found a great doctor.......the kind that everyone wants and he isn't out after the big bucks either. Problem is....he's a veterinarian. Hey, wait a minute...........that works for me!!! Bow Wow!!

JunkYardDogJunkYardDog, sorry to hear about your friends, as well. Any time I want to talk to the greatest mechanic in the world, I just go down to the garage and he'll be there alright.
Hey, my dog's Vet has got to be one of the most straight foward, plane talking guys I know. How come all the human Doc's can't be like that?
Bye the way...Is it fasionable to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING?
Well have the biggest, overstuffed Turkey you can eat! But save the giblets for the dog!

Mrs. JunkYardDogJunkYardDog got the three turkeys for 16 cents a pound, so she bought our Thanksgiving Turkey, our Christmas Turkey and our New Year's Turkey all at once. Yum, yum.......the old dog is going to have a feast! \:D

The trumpet horn used on the 1932 cabriolet was the same as the trumpet horn used on the rest of the 1932 passenger cars. There are several different kinds.......seamed and unseamed; wire mesh that is convex and wire mesh that is concave; wire mesh that is plated and wire mesh that is painted black. \:D \:D

Don't know about the F--D thing since I have never owned one! ;\)
