getting to the point of putting in the glass. It list the rear door glass as being pre 6/1/56 and post 6/1/56. My car is 10/56 so no problem there. Problem is I am not sure if the door is what came with it since way too many things odd about it. Mainly the license plate holder is not from a 56...

My glove box lock did not come with a key for it. That being said how do I remove the cylinder for a new lock. Or would it be better to take it to a locksmith and try and have it re keyed? Thanks

Came onto a snag. My rear door handle is in parts prior to refinishing it. I have most of the parts shown on the illustration for the handle. I am lacking the extension part 43436 but that is part of the lock and another issue. My problem is the swing gate that allows access to the lock. I have...

Got these fender aprons and know where two of them goes but stumped on the other one. Where does the circled one go. Could not find anything to really show where it goes. Thanks

One of my windlace clips by the front windshield is gone. I have searched everywhere for them to no avail. Part number I did find B7A 7002614A which looks like it but every site shows it being for 56 up and60 up Falcons. Is this a clip that will work on a 56 even tho it does no specifically say...

So have this rear door handle for the back of my 56 SD that is extremely pitted. Tried using the muggy weld thing, bwahaha. What a joke that was for someone who never did it. Just cannot get it to work good. Anyway there are no repops for this I can find. Are there any places that do repair work...

So got the front clip on my 56SD on. Now I notice there is quite a bit of flex in the hood when open. In other words when open you can push up on one side and the opposite side dips. The hood is bare with no under hood insulation on it. Is it normal for the hood toe flex like 6-8 inches?

So the rear door on my frankinford sdean delivery did not have the interior parts for the license plate. I can probably fab up what is needed but do not know what goes on the end of the rod that hangs down. My manual does not show anything other then the rod. It is part number 40356 in the...

Got the door panels done easy but having a hang up on the rear. Because of the curvature the push clips like used on the door want to pop out even if I can get them to line up. Sooo what is the best way to proceed? screw them down and have the screws showing or something else. OR just say screw...

Getting the side trim set up and hit a snag. I have the Body,Trim and Sealant manual and it has everything except for the fender. It say see drawing BJ 16000 for fender installation and requirements. I cannot seem to find Drawing BJ 16000 anywhere in the manual. Basically need to know the type...

How do you make door panels if you do not have the old ones for a template? I have them ruffed out in cardboard but have no idea where to put the holes for the attachment clips. I know they are offset but do not know where or how many there are. Is there a diagram somewhere showing where these...

So putting the Gravel shield on and on the bottom where it connects to the frame there is a gap between the parts. From a old pic it looks like it would be some sort of rubber part. I have not been able to find a part number for this anywhere, parts manuals, vendors, nada. Anyone know what that...

So I am stating to put the car back together and hit a snag with the hood. Got the hood on and all the gaps close but the hood seems to be bowed in the center at the cowl. Been so long I do not remember if it was like this when I removed it or not. The center of the hood is 3/8 inch higher then...

So got this part that was in the box marked interior parts. Most of the parts ion there have to do with the dash and pedal/steering. I have no idea where this goes of if it is just some left over from something else. Any one have a idea where this bracket goes?

So putting things back together and hit a snag. There are 2 garnish retainers on the door. They go on the inside and I believe hold the inside garnish fram that goes around the window.Hope I explained that right Lol. Anyway these retainer clips are held on the door by what looks like a x shaped...

So working under the car and notice one side has the mud flap/guard and the other does not. On the side that does not I see nowhere any mounting points similar to the other side. Did these cars have them on both sides? Left pic is drivers side, right one is pass side. Thanks

So got the pass side door working good. Then move over to drivers side and find a problem. On the door control link the spring at the handle is missing. I have been looking everywhere and do not see it anywhere. It is listed as part of the control link so do not think there ever was just the...

So took the doors off to work on them and primer. Rehung the door and there is a misalignment somewhere. The gaps all look good but it will not close without binding. I assume it is in the frame hinge mounting somewhere but cannot find it. I got it to close by adjusting the top hinge but when I...
