I can't find where we discussed this with Jasper or someone similar when they purchased a car and the cowl was not there. First -- caution, you can mix and match t-parts and come up with an ok looking car body that was never produced by ford (a 1915 with the 1922-25 style rear seat section etc.). Sometime parts were changed back in the 1920s and sometimes later in life.

Off my 1918 I measured from the bottom of the body on one side all the way to the bottom of the body on the other side. It is approximately 61 1/4 inches. That was taken with the hood on, so the tape measure was touching the back edge of the hood. If you just have the top cowl part -- I measured that at the same location -- just touching the hood. It was 28 1/4 inches from the bottom of the molding pressed into the cowl to the bottom of the molding pressed into the cowl on the other side. And it was 16 1/2 inches from the bottom of that same molding to the bottom of the body.

I finally ran across Phil Mino's Feb 13 2005 posting:

He shares: Double check by measuring the width of the dash. The low ’23 is about 24 3/8" wide while the later one is 28" wide.
