Help with identifying early cowl
2nd try hopefully pictures load. Building myself a T, have this cowl and trying to find out if it had a dash, how the windshield mounts etc.
Been looking all over the net and doing a lot of reading here. Learn something new everyday. Thanks.

Re: Help with identifying early cowl
Looks like a coupe cowl. Wooden firewall and looks like it had a steel dash for the ammeter etc, so likely a 1919 to 1921.

Re: Help with identifying early cowl
I'm certain you'll be asked for full front and rear images of the cowl and wood firewall/dash. Reasonable chance your firewall/dash is not original. Basic measurements width at the bottom and height. You can see some minor variations of these
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Help with identifying early cowl
More pics will help, but believe Wayne has it, seems like the remains of a coupe cowl with the upper windshield wood pillars cut off.

Re: Help with identifying early cowl
Looks like it’s the front remains of a Coupe or maybe a Sedan since they look real similar without the rest of the body. Wonder if you have any of the rest of the body.
With what you have you probably could build a huckster or depot hack if you don’t have any more of the body.
Unless you know or have a source for a closed T body remains or parts that style is hard to find body parts or panels. No reproduction body panels are being made.
The open T’s body’s are more plentiful and the body panels are being reproduced so parts are more readily available. Good luck with your T project!

Re: Help with identifying early cowl
Thank everyone for the help, not much info on these years. Can't find a 39" dash most are shorter, just seen 2 listed on eBay from Canada but pretty cut up that show 39", might have to make one.
Looks like the steel dash bolts in below the strip of wood on the cowl ?
Been looking at used body's as the rolling chassis so nic
Any thoughts on how to mount a cut-down windshield to this thing. Thanks
Not sure what the story on the cowl is but came with the package.

Re: Help with identifying early cowl
The dash is a piece of wood covered by steel
