Well, I found one of the door trims and have been contacting people in the studebaker club in hopes of finding another. Turns out they are not straight but the door has a curve to it and they follow it. I believe it will not be that bad to build some clips to hold the trim on.

I found a soft pedal on the brakes when I had it running. I am using american made floating calipers on the brakes and am using the mercedes booster and mc. I am wondering if the american calipers require a one way valve on the mc to avoid this?
