When I first obtained my 1937 ForDor, it had one chrome V8 Ford 85 ID logo on one of the side panels. I was wondering. Where should this go, on the grill or side panel? Should there be more than one of these? Thanks Mike

hey MZAHORIK,that chrome v8 emblem, mounts on the front grille on pass. side. i have '37 fordor as well when i took it off and cleaned it up and painted the blue part before i re-mounted i looked online at some factoy assy. line old footage and some images of 1937 ford fordors you will see that some restos are not quite placed as the assy line. that is one of the most gorgeous front ends of the '30s. looke in hemmings for some resto orig. '37s. good luck ,Tom. This message was edited by same on 9-24-21 @ 12:00 PM

Thanks. I've always had trouble making paint stick to chrome. My logo only has a hint of blue left on it. Did you do anything special to the chrome prior to painting? Mike

Hi Mike, A little off topic...but, if you want details on all the grille features and parts, I have a PDF I can send you. It does show specifically where the emblem mounts. gregg
