: I just recently rescued a pair of '29 hood shelves from a barn. These seem to have been dipped in black paint because the holes where the hood latches go are filled with paint. How can I tell if these are original NOS or old reproduction?
The older repos at the rear curve into the body was cut and welded. You can see the weld on the underside. Also the center hood bumper bracked rivets are different. The front part over the radiator splash apron is also different for 28 and 29 while the repo is more correct for 29. Good luck, Jim McPherson
