    Darryl,

    No reproductions are available as far as I'm aware. You'll likely have to locate used original parts. This will require substantial work to fit them.

    BTW, there are reinforcements under the dash as well and help prevent dash sagging.

      just had my early 57 door skin off and compared the innards to a 59 or 60 door just to see what i could see. The early door has some fiberglass reinforcement that needs to be chiseled out to fit the metal reinforcement. Certainly doable with patience. the forward window runner is different as well.I can post pics later if needed.Saw no compelling reason to put in the metal reinforcement.

        Does anyone know where I might find them used or a pattern to make
        them?
