| They advertise on eBay - think I ordered direct. Classic 2 Current was the seller. The inner and outer rocker was for a DeSoto - had to trim it a tad. I ordered the under floor seat supports from a guy in Finland ( eriksson1765 ) is his ID. Very nice pieces

| Still searching for a passenger side rear antenna - and a better P.S. horn ring. I ordered a windshield gasket from a guy back east (Andy Bernbaum Auto Parts ) hope it fits. Still need a windshield - but until Pilkington Classics gets more - shipping is brutal to Alaska. plan on ordering a few things from Gary Givers - but still making a list. I bought a printer just to print his 66 page catalog was in a rush for body mount kit - and my Facebook guru friend Fury Jim Rawa said 57 Chebbie is the same with the exception of back 2 needing trimmed 1/2" -- so - making progress

Location: Blackpool, United Kingdom. | Thought you're car had power seat , those floor strengtheners are for non power seat , holes fixings are in a different place , also just looking at your rear Body mount rebuild, it should have a indentation in lower to drain cavity out as it will fill with water other wise.

Location: So. Cal | Great job on the body mount reconstruction. I've done that too, and it isn't easy when doing it upside down in close quarters. |

Well, I know I have some in a box somewhere.
Regarding the window channels; you need to get info from someone recent. I restored about 9 cars and and got all mine from Gary Goers and Andy Burnbaum but that was years ago.
Yeah, Custom Royals used seat buttons. So did Regals but they were a much different shape. Don't think I can help there either but I will look.

The teeth were an option on all 58 Dodge models, so a Custom Royal could have come out of the factory without them and a Coronet with them. Did your car have them originaly? |
