I had shims on both sides of my '54 when disassembled.

Does anyone have an old 120/115 header bow that could be used as a pattern? I'm not happy with how my header bow turned out, and I need an original to copy the dimensions from.

Or, at the very least, a tracing made from the flat backside (the side facing towards the rear of the car), which will give me the overall flat dimensions and elevation. I think the one I came up with is just not tall enough when compared to others I have seen.

In other news, I got the windows in, and it helped move everything forward. The glass frame now sits against the division bar window channel with no gap. I also moved the entire vent window assembly as far forward as I could, but I still needed to make a slight relief cut in the wood B-pillar at the very bottom to sink the channel in a little bit, as it was still making contact with the window frame in that corner.

I also remade the front carpet. I needed the carpet to go up higher on the firewall and also need to cut back some of the firewall pad I made up to give more gas pedal clearance. Luckily this carpet is fairly inexpensive.

In this photo, it appears to pass through the frame at least in the rear section.

They were all metal.

Only difference between back seats would be the fold down armrest or no armrest. The lower trim levels didn't have the armrest.

But dimensionally they are the same.

Yes, steering wheel has to be pulled to install that grommet.

Sorry, I was replying to Kevin's question/statement above.

Hook up a volt meter that you can see what driving. See if it's putting out over 7 volts while driving.

On my car right after starting it and it high idle with the choke on ill see the Amp meter jump to around 30 amps for a few moments then slowly come down to just right of zero. Now I have an alternator, but that is what happens for me on the Amp gauge.

I'm sure the initial 30 Amp jump is the alternator turning on and possible high charging for a new moments to recover what was lost on the battery from running the starter.
