What are these parts? Can you identify them?

[Eric Z]

Hi All,

I've been unpacking my puzzle of a project as all the previous removed features were put inside the car after the previous owner passed on.

I have a D42 1952 Coronet Convertible

These may not go with this car, i won't get rid of them either way.

Attached are some pictures and I have not found these in the shop manual diagrams:

1 - is a heavy crossmember that looks like it might have been a transmission brace but the convertible has a X frame and there is already a small L shaped bar in that area. The L shape may have been swapped in by the PO but I don't see anywhere or how this approx. 4' long brace would fit.

2 - are heavy gauge boomerang shaped braces x 2

3 - are curved and contoured pieces that look look they would be part of the front wheel wells but how or where would they fit? x 2

4 - is an odd shaped piece, fairly flat, maybe a panel somewhere but not in the floor

5 - last is another formed piece, maybe under the engine or transmission?

Thanks for any help putting a name and location for these.
Eric

#3 is a front valance/stone guard isn't it?  The front lip goes into the back of the bumper.

grea235, possible but I don't think they match up to the bottom of my '52 grill. I have a right and a left stone guard, flat sections.

Bumper braces probably not your vehicle.

Front fender extensions

What other cars did the previous owner have or was working on

LazyK, your picture looks like a match, same shape and hole pattern.  I'll ask some of the Chevy guys at Saturdays show. I'm not sure what else he had. There were a couple of Chevy Impala side moldings stuffed in the pile as well as 2 vent window assemblies that are not for my car. I got the convertible through a car shop that didn't want to restore it. Thank you, maybe that cross member is also for a Chevy-
