  • help with body panel ID

    As my 52 hardtop grows back into a car, the pile of left over parts in boxes is getting smaller.
    However I have no idea what these paenls are or where they came from. Being as this is a hot rod of sorts, I don't think I need them. But I am curious, especially about piece A. Any specifics on where these bolt up?

    Piece A is the shield that mounts in the drivers side front wheel well to protect the brake and clutch pedal from debris. Piece C I believe used to mount to the exhaust pipe in the bellhousing area to direct air flow to the automatic transmission. Piece B is a mystery to me.

      Its possible that piece B is a shield or cover to protect the master brake cylinder and it's linkages from dirt/gravel, etc. I have a very rusty piece that looks like it might have started out like yours that came off my 55 in that position.

        Thanks guys. Will check and see if piece A is still needed. The other 2 will go into the Stude freebie box.

          I think you need piece A, the pedal shield, unless you have made a fiberglass one or some other cover. Water and mud splashed up on your starter and dimmer switches is not good.
