I can only think of one thing you might have missed.....

That spooky ability to get smashed to smithereens and come back together in
what would be show room condition. AND, when you do find this little secret
out, please send the secret of this formula my way. It could REALLY help in my
restoration process! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE and thanks again for making the
Forward Look Club what it is today!

their
  50 T&C model which was done from Lyn Zettlemoyers car many years ago.  When

Red
  engine, Silver aircleaner and the most amazing was the vacuum cylinder for
the
  brakes on the firewall instead of under the front seat.  This is exactly the
  way his car was and now many now think they are to be this way.

 That's the fun part.  This car won't be a "correct" '58 at all...  It'll be a
  "Christine", which means lots of hitting still frame on the laserdisc player
  and scanning for details.  Offhand, I can think of the following
  "Christine-isms" on that car...

 - Red carpeting
 - Custom Belvedere-like upholstery (minus mylar inserts)
 - Chromed valve covers & air cleaners
 - No name badge
 - Fury-style chrome interior window moldings
 - GM-style door lock knobs
 - The inside door handles are upside-down
 - The wheels are painted argent (aren't they supposed to be body color?)

 Any I missed?
