Do you have the Electrical Manual and the Trim and Sealer Manual? Lots of drawings and info to help you.
While the dash is out, paint the underside white. It makes things a lot easier to see when you have to crawl under the dash again.

Re: '57 generator conversion
I had one for years and never swapped it because I never had a problem. YES it was close, but never an issue. I switched to a Delco 3 wire alternator and sold everything many years ago. Change if you must, but it was not a priority for me.

Re: Removing Brake Light Switch
Although something like the brake system is very important, I certainly do not want anyone to be accused of "overthinking" this issue, as we all have to be within our own comfort level. It is not complicated. These pressure operated switches WILL fail, at some point in time! It's a fact. I...

Re: 56 Hard Top
Interesting. I notice you also don't have the full wheel covers or fender skirts. Was this an attempt to lower the initial price of the car? Are there any other accessories not installed such as P/S, P/B power windows or seat & auto transmission? Looks great though. Mine has almost every option ...

Re: Installation of seat back cover '56 TB
I marked the existing screw holes and a couple were not equally spaced, so I made a couple of new holes to get equal spacing. I started in the center top and worked each way for a few and then the bottom center to the ends as well. No problem.

Re: 57 Thunderbird - Throttle doesn't move with pedal
This is what mine looked like with an aftermarket carb. Very similar to yours. Worked well.
