Sill plates for '56 2-door sedan . . .

[Roscomacaw]

Matthew, it wasn't too long ago that I bought all four from SASCO.
What I did was order for front door pieces for Y-body 57-58 cars. These are the nicer stainless steel ones. I simply ordered 4 of them with the intent of cutting two of them to fit the rear door openings.

Allen the 58's are just a straight piece of metal. No curves at all. Still can't find my invoice so I may off a year.

These are pics of the repops Fennessey was selling last year at the middle Tn meet. I have another set that I bought as NOS but looking now they are not stamped nearly as deep as these and are silkscreened.I will compare them to my originals and keep whichever one is closer and sell the other pair.Steve

I thought the trick was (with the C-K sills) that the repops - early ones anyway - were straight, whereas the originals are bowed to match the bow of the sills.

These test fit pretty well,they are just a little longer than the opening but seem to fit well as far as following the contours (though it looks flat to me also).I will know for certain in a few more weeks.Steve
