Thanks, I will give them a call and see if they have what I am looking for.

I know they reproduce them and I bought some and just didnt like it. I am not a fan of the beaded stuff. I am installing new channel and it is un-beaded. So, I am wondering what others have done. Pictures would be great if you have any Steele has some un-beaded like this. It is expensive...

Stacks, can you share any information and photos on what you did for column supports (dash and floor) and did you do anything different for the large firewall hole? What pump did you end up running, ford, borgeson or saginaw? I have the borgeson box mounted and I have a late 60's Pontiac...

sold

Ok, I found a guy that has them, wants $50 shipped for them. So, not to questions Fords design here, but in your (and anyone elses) opinion, should I get them? It probably hasnt completely made sense to me since I havent seen it all installed before, but just looking at the car and the...

Ok Rick, now I know what your talking about. A member of the 52-59 ford group (thanks fordsbyjay) took a picture for me. I emailed that to the parts guy to see if he has it. to many durn pieces! That is 3 parts just for holding in 1 quarter window run.

Well, he already responded back and said his book didnt show any other parts for this either. I dunno.. I guess I will be going without it, wouldnt know where else to find it.

That is interesting Rick, he didnt mention it and I cant find a reference to it in the illustration book. Wouldnt have a picture of it would you? I just emailed him to ask about it. All these dang parts got so many names (cat whiskers, fuzzies, etc) hard to keep up. In your post you...

Found a donor for the parts I need, should get them ordered today. There are 2 brackets that go on the quarter windows (2 per side) as well. They are the 2 shortest brackets in the pics. Decided to get the lift channels from him also since mine are banged up and 3 of 4 are not straight. All...

Thanks. I have the glass runs, but I do need the fuzzy strips that go on each side of the glass. What I am mainly searching for now is the car parts that I dont have, and are not re-produced, that hold the runs in place correctly.

I am emailing some ebayers that sell 50's ford parts to see if they have the qtr window stuff I dont have.

Out here fiddling with it. I loosened the bolts holding the lid to the hinge, it will actually slide forward some on the drivers side, actually a lot. I can slide it far enough that it would rub paint when closing. Pass side is tapped out, no room to slide forward. Yall got me thinking...

s55 thanks for the offer. I have a couple of others checking, if I dont find out by then I will holler at you. frank, I am in west TN. I just uploaded the pic to my album today after I found it in the book. did you see my post from earlier today (2 up)?

@crownvic55 - This was not a frame off this time, however back in the 90's when my dad and I did a half @ss restore on it we had the frame off. That was many moons ago, so as to the support question, I really dont know. We were both novices so my guess would be it wasnt supported as well as it...

Looks like on the door side of the quarter channel it just screws in. There is a lone screw sitting there in mine. On the trunk side of the channel I see there is a piece or bracket of some kind that is attached to the channel. Looks like a specialty bolt and nut of sorts that goes through the...
