Looking for a 57 Fairlane parts car . Do not really need any body panels but that could be a plus .My main concern is my stainless trim is beat up or has screws ran through them . Missing wiper motor ,some linkage for wiper motor ,door locks , my glass isnt the greatest either.

Keep an eye on ebay for the stainless.  I have managed to aquire a nearly complete set (dent free) over the last two years for just under 200 bucks, luck and timing, only need the top of fin now and Burtons repops them.

Check the vendors thread, most of the stuff you are missing is available repoped and a couple of those guys have parts cars as well.  The glass is all flat (except the front and rear window) and any glass shop can replce it for you very reasonably.  Found out about an outfit that has windshields, Pilkington, 800-848-1351, have not used them yet but a good friend has and he is very pleased with prices and service.

I found a good donor but its 400 miles away decent price but you had the fuel in on it and it's marginal but its all in one place and can take it off as I wish . Car goes to paint jail in two weeks just trying to get my end covered .
