1955 Frigidaire Cycla-Matic Fridge Restoration - Part II

[58limited]

Final pic for tonight. Got the plastic face moldings back in. The interior is not rusty, just a little dirty.

Will: Yes, I put some work into it, but I paid some guys to do the really hard messy stuff. They didn't charge much, just wanted a little fun money for the weekend.

do you have pics of the drawers for that fridge.. because sometimes when I'm out and about I see fridge drawers of all things..

BTW I owe somebody on here a Westy ice cube tray I said I'd mail them months and months ago but in all the crap going on with my sisters illness and moms following I just lost it.

Whoever it was please email me again.. I feel terrible saying I was going to send it and then didn't.

I put the drawers and shelves back in. Here is a pic.As you can see, I'm missing the plastic cover for one drawer, and a metal rod that supports the center between the two. I'm also missing one regular shelf and the plastic shelf at the top is cracked.

I included a link below to my web page for my '54 Frigidaire. It has an ad showing the drawers for it. If you find a '54 Frigidaire Imperial Cycla-Matic, please let me know, I need lots of interior parts. Thanks.

Tonight I got the door gasket mostly installed. It was time consuming where the hinges mount, the rest was easy. I'll cut the 45 degree angles for the bottom corners tomorrow. Even though it doesn't really match, I ordered the gasket in light blue: better visual when the door is closed. It doesn't clash with the interior seafoam green anymore than the other color choice, gray, would have. I ordered the gasket from

I ordered part number GRG1051, which is a near perfect match. Part number P10338 would also work.
