Just a word of caution re the rubber mats.  As you may know one of the design flaws of the 57 Fords was the little rubber tube connecting the cowl drain to the outer fender well.  The connection is made in the driver compartment and the rubber tube usually did not last very many years, depending on garaging and maybe atmospheric conditions where the car lived for the last 52 years.  The water from washing the car, sitting in the rain, etc., frequently leaked into the driver compartment and in many cases sat under the rubber mat contributing to massive rusting of the floor boards and tunnel.  Make sure your cowl drain connection is sound/leakproof while you are working on your interior.  Here is a photo of what happens under the rubber mat.
