VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 1932 5 window coupe wood.

So I managed to acquire a complete wood kit for my coupe! It was originally purchased from Jim Rodman in 2011. Owner passed away. Anyone know where I might find instructions to assemble this?
Thanks.

There are no instructions. The one thing that you can do is to purchase the 1926-31 Fisher Body Manual with the 1932 supplement from the Filling Station. The two manuals will give you some pointers. Also, there are some illustrated views in the 1929-32 Chevrolet parts book. You can purchase that from the Filling Station also. Other than that, you are on your own.

By the way, I used my old body wood framework as a template on how to assemble the new body wood.

Purchase a reprint of the August 1932 Master Parts Price List from The Filling Station or other reprint seller. On page 215 is an illustration of the body wood for a "Coupe Body - Job No. 32567". You will also need a bunch of other information contained in the book during your restoration process.

If you don't have Jim Rodmans drawing, it would help.

If it does not go right to it look under the heading Restorations, then Restoration project.
