Default Hard at work I see.....

On the first part you are trying to take apart..... What is it? I could not identify what it was. You may have to drill the rivets slowly to be able to remove them with a small punch or drift pin..... but do you really need to remove them??

On the second issue ..... if you are talking about the heavy canvass trim around the engine bonnet/hood .... you can remove the nails carefully.... try twisting them loose from the underside then pull from the head. The nails have a twisted shank and need to be turned as you pull on them.

The nails and the canvass trim are easily available from restoration suppliers here in North America. We can assist you in finding the proper suppliers or act as a middle person.

You will also need some kind of fabric webbing or synthetic material to act as anti-squeak gaskets between each body panels around the fenders, arches and cowl area.

Cheers

Bob C.

Bob it is opening of the engine compartment. This handle is french invention, I have no idea how it was secured to the rest of the body originaly. I want to sandblast it. As for canvas trim I couldn't find it in Poland so I will appreciate your assistance with locating supplier.

Default Engine compartment...

Also called "hood" or "bonnet" in any case too small to be of much good.

That cover is held in place by two wing nuts on each corner of the front edge.
If you are doing a full restoration you wil not need that French gizzmo!!!

On the fabric....let me get you some web address to shop from in Canada or USA..... there may be some European suppliers who already importing and reselling on the Continent....... hoping other European members can add information.

Looks like you will also need some Ford door handles from Dirk in Holland.
