Questions about 1957 Thunderbirds,....

[Harms Way]

OK Guys,...

I hate to admit it,... but I don't know a lot about 1957 T-Birds although I have one,.... I got it out of storage and as I was hanging the doors, I discovered, I can't find the box with the window regulators, door latches, door handles, strikers, striker plates,... etc. ANYWHERE !

A friend has a junk 1957 Ford Custom 300,... do any of these parts work ? or is the door hardware totally unique to Thunderbird's ? (This would be totally weird for Ford to have "Unique" parts).

One more thing,.... the single front engine mount,... Even Carpenter doesn't have em' what gives?

The Bird in question,........
