29 Tudor interior trim
 

I have four pieces of interior trim that I think should be painted the body color. Could someone please confirm this for me?

Also, the the door frame header plate is really bent inward where the screws fasten it to the door frame header. What is the secret for straightening & painting this piece then installing it without bending it all over again & having the paint clip and crack??

Also, the other piece that is in the picture seems to attach to the front door hinge pillar. If so, what kind of screws hold it it place?? I assume that this piece holds the windlace assembly?

All pictured above are to be painted primary body color. The long pieces secure the front windlace and were originally installed with semi-tubular rivets. The heads face out and are also painted body color.

Thanks Gary--you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the area (both inside and outside please)? Also, who has these rivets and how are the installed/set??

Here are some pictures of the trim pieces installed with the windlace. As I mentioned above, the long pieces are attached with semi-tubular rivets and are all painted. I was told that in assembly, the windlace was covered with paper, installed, and then painted. The paper, which protected the windlace from paint, was then removed. The upper molding pieces also hold windlace in place. The windlace here had a cardboard strip stitched to the salvage to help hold it into place under the molding.

Gary--thanks for the pictures-they are very helpful, especially since I was not the person who took it all apart. I always try to take a lot of pictures before, during and after disassembly. As we now all have digital cameras we don't have to worry about the cost of film so taking a ton of pictures is not a problem!
