long shot - missing piece from 1936 plymouth cowling

[n1gzd_plymouth]

I know that this is not the right forum for this question but since I hang out here I thought I would post it incase someone has some parts lying around.

My 1936 Plymouth has a cowling that hinges on each side of a center strip that runs from the top of the radiator to the top of the firewall. there is a metal piece that the center cowling strip slides into at both ends.

I just figured out that I am missing a chrome piece that is supposed to fit on top of this and pin it down so that it stays in place. I don't think that anyone manufactures this.

Does anyone who knows what I am talking about know where I can get these two pieces? I thought I would ask before I spend a lot of time trying to make them myself.

Thanks,

Rebecca

Rebecca,

I don't know if the '34 Plymouths used the same pieces but there are some for sale on eBay. Given what Mitchel wants for his, you may want to make your own.

There are also some for Dodge trucks.

For what it may be worth, the parts book appears to list the Hood Hinge Support Assembly for 1936 Plymouths as Front part #721961 and Rear as part #721962

If Jim has properly identified the part I believe Roberts has new ones for trucks.

N/C Industries reproduces those for the 1933 and 1934 Plymouths but I think the 1936 is different enough that the earlier ones won't fit/work/look right.

these look like the parts that I am looking for but I am not sure they are quite like the one on the 36 plymouth. I was told that plymouths from 35-37 had the same part. I already called Andy Bernbaum and he did not have any.

I will call Roberts tomorrow to see what he knows.

Thanks so much for the info.
