i believe your gonna need to go all 58/9 and mount in the 58/9 location
the 57 hood is narrow at the front, the hinges are very different with the spring on hinge vs hooked to the inner fender
as far as the wipers, they should fit i don't believe any changes were made there

i added a couple pics of the 58/9 hinge, i'll leave it to someone else to post up a 55/7 hinge
