    Rod,
    I am also looking for some parts for my 54. If you do decide to part your car out I would like to buy some parts.... Most of what I need are trim parts i.e. Fender skirts, air filter, center grill stainless, horn ring and cap, passenger side trim below the tail light (back up light) and perhaps some interior trim.

    I just received a set from classic 2 current, they list them as 48-53 but since they used a set off of my 54 four door as a template I am going to assume that they will fit it. I have done nothing more than open the box and gaze at them so I do not know how they will fit or if they will work when I finally have a place to work on my car I will write a review, they are cheap at 24.99 a piece plus shipping.

    For that price, they ain't gunna' fit. The metal alone, if it's the right thickness, is going to cost $10. or so per side.

    Although the word "fit" might be a matter of opinion. :)

    I bought a set of those for a 51, but they are clearly for a 54. I called the guy to let him know they don't fit 48-53. He said I was wrong, but still refunded my money.

    As I said I did not know whether they fit or not, as far as I know they are the only option out there for 1954 models. I will let people know when I get them out and to the car, currently my hopes are not that high but hey they were free.

    In the distant past, 30+ years ago, Rick Venza offered Fiberglass replica 54 2dr rocker panels.
    Today, Hudzilla, Lance Walker has created fiberglass replacement rocker panels for the remaining stepdown years.
