<div>Alan- I can believe that. Body #793 was billed out on November 28, =
1953 and was destined to go to the US but was sent to Canada.&nbsp; Rich =

and engine #139809.</div>
<div>I would imagine from that late production =

<p>Hank and Jean</p>
<p>Michael is a long time member of the AH Concours =
Guidelines Committee, an early 100 expert and as such is well aware of this=
 fact. I judged his car Concours gold as I recall several years ago at the =
Gettysburg Conclave and the vertical portion was not there as is correct =
for around the first 350 BN1s. As such, there was no deduction for the =
missing panel.</p>
<p>I have to assume that he now wants to add the panel =
to help improve cooling.</p>
<p>As for his question, it can be done but =
will require drilling three 3/16" holes, two in the lower portion for 10-32=
 pan head phillips screws and one in the top center portion of the upper =
support. Both the grill and radiator may need to be removed. Pain in the =
butt if you ask me.</p>
<p>If you want to improve cooling without =
permanently altering your very original car, I have several better options.=

<div>Michael-the early cars did not always =
have the center baffle panel.&nbsp; They had the lower horizontal "apron" =
you describe but the vertical "modesty " panel was added in late 53 into 54=
. Photo of my 53 #588 did not have the vertical so you can see all the way =
thru the front. Since your car (#172?) is early; my guess is that you never=
 had the panel.&nbsp; Are there mounting holes in the horizontal apron to =
receive the lip of the vertical piece? The later parts available came with =
drilled holes. Not sure you could install one unless you remove the grille.=

<div>I have a BN1 with the radiator apron panel (horizontal behind and =
below the grille in front of the radiator which usually has a division =
panel attached to it) missing.
<div>If I remove the horns and grille does =
anyone if this panel and the division panel can be installed. Looks a bit =
tight but I don't want to have to disturb the front shroud.&nbsp;</div>
