Re: 1912, '13, '14 body changes
Thanks so much, gentlemen.I appreciate your knowledge and attention to my project. I've gotten just what I'd hoped for which was a clear understanding of where this body fits in the continuum. The '12/'13 and earlier latches weren't even on my radar...never messed with something that old. That heel ...

Re: 1912, '13, '14 body changes
O-Smith, I can’t figure out how to access the picture you refer to. I’ll have to look at the encyclopedia to learn the difference between ‘13 latches and ‘14’s…i didn’t know there was a difference. These ones appear to me to be correct, actuating up and down rather than in and out as later years.

Re: 1912, '13, '14 body changes
Gents, what you're seeing in that side view is the arc of the fender line going up the front of the fender. When it gets to the top, it goes flat horizontal toward the back. I can get a better picture tomorrow if you want. Wouldn't be a '15 with a square firewall like this one has...

Re: 1912, '13, '14 body changes
Hap, thanks for the response. I agree with all you said, but from what I've read, the body change came about in mid to late 1913 because of the touring's propensity to break in two below the back doors. Since that weakness had been there since the git-go, somebody finally woke up and said let's put ...

Re: 1912, '13, '14 body changes
Scott, you're right on as to the preservation of the serviceable wood already in place (and enclosed in an outside finish I'm trying to preserve.) I avoided using the term restoration to reflect the fact that I'm working toward repair and rejuvenation, and not a prize winning restoration. Almost all...

1912, '13, '14 body changes
I'm rescuing a '13 touring body that needs some woodwork addressed and all the upholstery and top. The owner has always characterized it as a late '13 because it has the rounded bottom doors like a '14. A supplier has said that he can't proceed with an order until he knows whether to use '13 dimensi...
