Missing drip rail clip
Not sure if it is called a clip, but it is the small one that goes on the center of the drip rail above the windshield on my 53. Does anyone know where I can find one or has made one that can tell me how they did it?

Make your own.
I used some metal banding clips that were just bigger than the ones one my truck. Trimmed them down,used a old piece of drop rail as my anvil and shaped it as best I could. Then I used a pair of pliers that i had previously ground the teeth off the jaws to squish the clip in place. A dab of seam sealer helped to glue her I place.
