    Windshield trim that goes inside

    I have been longing to find a replacement for a press-in-place vinyl half round trim that I once had covering the windshield rubber. I have given up but that that maybe someone here has found a replacement. See the photos and see if anyone else has found a solution. Thanks.

    65 Signet Roof Rail Weatherstripping Conundrum

    As long as I've owned my convertible 65 Valiant Signet convertible I have been unhappy with the way the roof rail weatherstrip runs along the channels. I've bought two, maybe three sets since 1991 and they always seem to fit awkwardly. They all seat in the channels properly. As the pictures...

    [WANTED] 904 Transmission pan that's not deep WITH a drain plug

    I've seen mention of such a thing but can't seem to locate one. I'd like to keep a standard pan but with a drain plug. Rumor has it later models had them.

    Help me decide on a floor jack

    I want to buy a 2-3 ton floor jack to replace a gifted one. I want to lift the front of my 1965 Signet and then use jack stands. I'll do tires and such and also use it 2-3 a year. Trouble is I don't like to buy unsafe jacks but I don't want to spend a butt load of dough. Is there a decent...

    Super Six 2bbl carb?

    I'm having a tough time getting my Super Six right. I am not a mechanic so I take it to a pretty reputable shop in Minneapolis, MN. I had the Super Six installed a few years back and the engine idle is an issue. In DRIVE and stopped, it's is rough and wants to kill. If the idle is turned up...

    I need a better accelerator cable system

    When I had a Super Six set up installed, the only thing missing was the throttle linkage. My mechanic crafted a basic bike cable set up which breaks at the clevis attachment yearly. Any ideas for a great system I can install?

    Soaked carpet after a rain

    I can't for the life of me find why my carpet is always wet after a rain. I see some water around the sill carpet hold down. With new wind lace which I believe is installed correctly, leaks all the time. Anyone have any cures? Thanks.

    Duals and steering wheel

    Does anyone know where I can find Dutra Dual exhaust manifolds? Hard to find. Also if you're considering a steering wheel renovation, I had mine done with Steering Wheel Bob in NJ and I'm quite impressed. Worth the money if you love your car. Thanks.
