I bought new wing upright gaskets some 33 years ago. I actually found them before tearing the car apart. Now where the f they went, along with an original AWOL... I have no idea at this point! Looked for them for 3 or 4 days and gave up.
Man, I've spent weeks or more looking for stuff for my Belvedere!!
 
....BTW....a year on....how's the arm? :thumbsup:
 
Hey Wayne, what cars does THIS little one get?? Get it sorted now to prevent "disagreements" later!!! :lol:
 
If you have cars, you're gonna have scares!! :lol:

Fought for an hour to get the two 1157 yellow bulbs into their sockets, made sure they worked and then buttoned them up.

Cleaned up the nose seals with scrubbing bubbles. Just amazing stuff making them look like new. I originally installed these in February 1990.

I know all too well about spending too much time looking for stuff that shouldn't be lost in the shop....
 
Found my 30 year old gun. It's pulled well over a million rivets and hasn't let me down!
