VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Radiator Shell Restoration Tips Requested

Hello, I figured I would start the restoration of my 32 standard sedan with the repair and replating of the radiator shell. Getting the shell apart is not the issue. It is removing the reinforcements that are attached to the back of the grill. It seems they are spot welded in parts and the top of the larger bottom bracket seems to be crimped across the middle section. Any advice on how to proceed to disassemble? Thank You.

Hello. After I cleaned the grill I discovered it was in good shape. I'm going to keep as is. Thank you.

Hello KMT,
To me, it looks like the grill assembly is dismantled as far as it will go. Beyond that would be deconstruction and possibly destroying it. Keeping it as is appears to be a wise choice.
