Has anyone installed the 59 chrome door spears on a 60 bird. I saw a pix of an unfinished 59 door which had a flat place at the point on the door. Could the spear be installed forward of that point on a 60? The spear looks really nice from Concours parts. This resto mod is taking on a life of it's own! Thanks for responding.

The spears on the 59 have 7 bosses on the back side of each one. The studs mount in these bosses. The 59 door has indentations for these bosses while the 60 has a smooth door with several holes to surface mount the 'Thunderbird' script. You could cut out notches for the spears, but it is additional work.

Thanks for responding. I'm assuming that if I cut holes the size of the bosses, the spear should fit flush to the door and the spear comes with lock nuts to secure from the opposite side.Comment

If you cut notches out of the door the spears will fit flush but you won't have anything to bolt to. I imagine you can make some sort of long brackets to hold the spears to the inside of the door. This is what the door looks like without the spears.
