In the Hemmings there used to be a company called Snake-Oil Products (or maybe it was spelled Snake-Oyl) that made absolutely flawless belts for Ford Products....

Give me a few days to scan it. I wanted to add this stuff to the group's file section anyway. I have to hook up my scanner, and do a few things to get these...
Hi Group, I found a fantastic source for trim which closely mirrors the original urethane rear quarter trim for the 74-78 Eldo's. It is Cadillac King in...

So good, they have a 1.3 inch whitewall similar to the Firestone 721's. Are your new tires radials? that would be very important to me. Dr. Dave Modesto, CA...
It is shaped much like the original trim, squarish in shaped, not at all like that door edge trim crap. ... stuff that is sometimes supplied as door edging? ...
It looks as if the engine on my '76 is due for an overhaul. I have spoken to a local rebuilder that I have used in the past, and that I trust. They told me...

If given the choice, I would still rather have the original engine in the car. I would get it rebuilt exactly the way I want it, and would do some internal...
Brian, That is the point that I was trying to make. I would never chastise a car owner for doing whatever they want to their car. After all, it is theirs and...

I don't know the production figures on the 71's and 72's, but you don't often see them for sale in really nice condition. I also like the 73's a lot too. My 76...
Now THAT'S my kind of wonderful story, Chip! Thanks for filling us in! I love knowing the history of my cars if I can find it. I tend to get attached to them,...
Chip, What a great story and an inspiration to the rest of us! It just goes to show you that a person can become very attached to these cars before they even...
