Need a body part for my 1924 Star F

I am in need of the front splash apron which fits below the radiator and between the front frame ends. I will consider any condition as I can always use a bad one as a pattern. Thanks, Bob

Bob, I have an extra . It is in Fair shape, but the ends where it contacts the spring bolts have been cut off. You would have to weld new ends on. Glenn

Thanks Glenn,
Sounds like something I could use as a pattern. How much was cut off and should the end be rounded to fit up to the spring bolt? Are the mounting attachments or holes still there?
The original one on my 1923 Model C covers up only half the frame end and is different than the Model F.

Re: Need a body part for my 1924 Star F

Hi Bob, aprox. 1 1/2 in cut off on each side, just that portion that had the holes to attach tp the spring bolts. If you have a good mig welder, pieces could be added. The rest of the panel can be finished fairly easy. The rest of the mounting holes are there and that portion is in fair to good shape. Glenn
