Well a small update for today. I was able to located the Antenna hole drilling template amongst Dan Yocum's collection. So I photocopied here at the office and will use that to enlarge the manual antenna hole for the power antenna.

Also Ross Miller was extremely kind enough to locate and send me a power antenna switch for my '54 with the correct dash spacer and bezel. This is a one year only swtich so very hard to come by. He put a note in the box that the included knob is the correct "style" but not the antenna switch knob. But included it as a reference to try to match up the correct one.

So basically what I am trying to find a knob that visually looks like this one, but it uses a set screw instead of a clip to stay on the shaft. If anyone has one of these they would like to sell, please let me know. Once again this is specific to 1954 models. Here is a grainy picture from my phone camera for reference. The picture shows the correct switch and shaft, and the correct "style" of knob, but the it's not the correct knob for the shaft.

Thanks,
