Dennis, were these pedestals removable, or tack welded on?  ...Or can you 
tell from your pictures?  I'm just curious what happened to mine and whether 
I can source some, ...or whether it's just simpler to make something out of 
wood, which I'm probably going to do.

Thanks Dennis.

Terry  '59 Tr3A  (car is back with the body on and painted, and I've 
installed the new starter and the gas  pedal assembly!  Whoo Hoo!  I love a 
car with floors!)
