Glove Box Trim

Good afternoon gentlemen. Have a quick question. How do I remove the glove box trim on my 1957. It looks to just slide off - but I've learned my lesson about forcing things that look easy to remove. The trim has a small bend/dent in it that I just noticed when sunlight reflects off of it , otherwise...

Re: Were are these for?

Yep, they are for seat belts. My 57 has them too, along with the seat belts.

Re: Help with metal trim

Hazard - thank you very much. It seemed self evident at first but not so much after. This is perfect. Thanks again.

Help with metal trim

since my last post on this I purchased the stainless steel metal trim molding and weatherstripping. It is for the bottom edge of my 57 hardtop. What I thought would be self evident has eluded me. I am unsure as to how to attach the molding and weather stripping. The steel trim pictured is labeled as...

AGM Battery Case disassembly

I would be interested in this conversion as well. When I purchased my 57, it had a replica Power Punch battery. Had some body work done on the car by a local body shop, and when I picked it up, the battery was dead and wouldn't take a charge and the regulator, as well, did not produce a charge. The ...

Metal trim on hardtop

Just noticed that the trim piece on my 57 hardtop appears to be "peeling/ flaking". It is the trim piece along the rear lower edge adjacent to the back deck. I though that this piece was chrome or stainless - but I guess not. I purchased the car with the hardtop so I don't know if the trim...

Re: First Place !

Congratulations. it's nice to see a T Bird win. I have participated in several car shows over the last two years, and have won some trophies -but I have noticed a strong bias toward Chevrolets. Anyone else notice this?

Re: 57 bird oil pan removal

Greg, sorry to be dense, but were able to start to the thread bolt with the universal? Or could you start it with your fingers?

Thanks
