Check with Frank Petrovic in the IFRC club. He has a lot of the stainless trim and is selling it.
This will likely be very difficult to find. The last NOS set was supposedly sold for $10,000. But you may be able to convince someone to part with a reproduction set.
http://www.restorationspecialties.com/ has almost all the clips you'll need. Dennis Carpenter and Mac's list some but Restoration specialties is the best way to go.

The top linkage is illustrated in the Ford shop manual. I recommend purchasing one as you will need the information contained in it at some point.
If the roof unlocks but will not begin retracting then measure the voltage on the small terminal of the roof retract solenoid. If there is no voltage there then it's a roof lock switch not making...
In Tennessee there is Wayne Rollins (IFRC Technical Advisor). he is pretty close to Kentucky and could assist you.
I believe there are a couple of shops that advertise in Skyliner magazine. I remember one of them mentioned full restorations and I believe they were in the Northeast area of the country. Sorry I...

Part #6 looks like a hood safety hook catch. Mounts to the driver fender and allows the fish hook on the hood to catch it. Item #17 looks like a spare tire wing nut, but my 59 does not use one that...
I am trying to locate a correct 59 Cruiseomatic. It's a 352 car so according to Ford's manual the transmission's tag must be PBL-U. Does anyone here have one or have the correct shift lever that I...
You could contact the judges and ask, they should know: http://www.skyliner.org/contact.html
How many companies are reproducing quarter patch panels for a 59 Skyliner? I only see one company selling them. I hoped for at least a couple different sources so I could shop around.
As an extra tidbit of information, Lyle Hutchins also sells the headliner panels for 59 Skyliners with the cardboard panels and headliner material already attached. Ready to install!
Yes, it's in Southern Pennsylvania for 2019.
If you're referring to the top relay assit kit, it's basically a 6-volt relay designed to supply full voltage to whichever solenoid in your top relay bank is not getting full voltage. This is...
Wayne Rollins makes the kit and sells it. You can contact him for it. He has the relay already set up with wiring and terminals on them. It's very convenient. He has the kits for brake lights but...
