Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Thanks, John. The plan is to upholster most it. I've got a piece of 5052 that goes down the middle where the cup holders, power window buttons and the shifter boot fit. Probably ball end mill some of it before it goes to the anodizer. Speakers go in the sides of the console around where it angles up. Pretty basic, but still yet functional.

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Upholstered, ball-end, anodized, switches, speakers,... "pretty basic" Ya, for you maybe! All the stuff you fab is just so well done man. Super tasteful for such an old fart too!

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Spent the afternoon at the trim shop. The glass guys came and got the front and rear glass in. It was touch and go for awhile. The front stainless was a little bit out of shape from the restoration and they had a lot of trouble keeping it embedded in the rubber moulding. However, they were able to get it all in place. The rear went a lot easier, but when it came time to put the top piece on, we realized the small corner trim pieces weren't in with the rest of the trim packages. I made a mad dash home thinking maybe they were overlooked in the box where I stored all that stuff but no luck. Most likely, they were never in with the rest of the trim and I just didn't realize it. I found one side on eBay and have already purchased it, but the driver side piece may be more elusive. I'll have to get on the phone to the old car salvage yards and see if I can come up with something. Those corner caps were on 57-58 Custom 2 or 4 door models. Just in case anyone knows where an old abandoned junker is parked.
Below are some interior photos and the glass installation in progress. Also, the trunk carpeting is underway. I took some more console measurements and will work on it over the weekend.

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Can you post a pic of what you need Vic and when I get home I'll look at my neighbors place and see if he might have what you need.

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Thanks anyway, Kevin. Spoke with a guy down in TX that thinks he may have some, just needs a few days to look for them in storage. I have the passenger side on the way already and there's still some unexplored options for the remaining one.

Hope somebody finds one soon, or Vic's going to spin up that mill and make one.

Meanwhile, I've been hacking away at the console project. A few photos below to show where I'm headed with it After scabbing on some extensions and tacking in the mounting tabs, I squeegee'd on a skim coat of filler and smoothed it out. I dropped it off at the trim shop around 4PM. They'll cover it with the carbon fiber-ish vinyl and install it if I can get the aluminum cap machined in time. They're making great progress. The garnish moulding and gasket strip around the windshield was in and looking super. The sunvisors were in and the side panels and quarter window garnish mouldings are done. They were working on the carpet and had brought the rear seats down from the storage loft. The package tray is ready to be covered as are the kick panels. Not sure, but I'm guessing two more days, maybe three and it should be ready to come home.

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Console looks awesome Vic! Smart use of the wood for the big radius, looks like they'd be able to upholster that in a snap. Started on the machine work yet? What are the cut pieces on your layout? Inlays? Are you utilizing an OEM molded piece for the cup holders? I know you'll get this part done, can't wait to see the finished product!!

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
What's that tape on your fender pony? I see MSHA pasted all over it, must be heavy duty stuff. I do commercial work for some gold-digger's over here and MSHA means business. Just curious...

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Teaser photos...
Car is home resting comfortably and ready for the final push. Interior turned out fantastic! I will post photos tomorrow after I do some cleanup and with better lighting than the overheads in the shop. I think I found the end caps for the rear window trim. Scott pointed me to a Craigslist ad and I followed up with the guy. Sent him a letter yesterday with the payment (he's an east Texas feller without PayPal) so I should know for sure by sometime next week. Desert Valley had three cars but none of the parts I needed. Fingers crossed.

Re: '57 Ford Custom 300 Tudor Sedan
Lots of work done there Vic. Looks amazing and your upholsterer's killed it! The console turned out fantastic and I can't imagine the interior with anything less. Is that the same vinyl they used on the center sections of the panels? Hope the finish pieces you've found work out. I flipped back a few pages, looking at the wiring you've done, equally stellar. Sure wish I could see all of this ride in person. When do we fire that motor!!?

Yes, John, the vinyl on the console is the same as the center section of the side panels. Needed some contrast there with all that medium gray on the seats and lower panels. The motor will have to wait a little longer, I need to get the front clip back on, the wiring finished and the a/c condenser/dryer mounted and plumbed. Believe it or not, I've been struggling with getting the seat belts finalized. Turns out the mounting locations for the lap belts are right above the mufflers. There was no way to drill the holes and install the hardware without removing half the exhaust system and e-brake cables. It's always something. I'll have it back together by lunch tomorrow and the clip is next on the list. With a little luck, I should be busting off the engine this time next weekend.
