I got some packing foam sheets the other day from HD. It worked well because I needed to wrap all my newly cleaned and repainted components! One of the two seals was still in reasonable good shape. I used the old seal to draw up a template from a manila file folder. I used the template to trace...

Great idea, but I'm retired so that won't work. I did check the local big box home improvement stores and they sell some foam pouches for packing dishes that look like they might work. Probably for less than the cost of a gasket too! Gonna go get some later today! Thanks for the tip!

I posted this question on the Members Restorations forum and didn't get any takers, so I thought I'd ask it here too.

I need to replace the rear leaves on my 71 Dart. It was originally a 318, but I am replacing it with a 340. The originals are flat as a board (PO had shackles bolted through the frame that are about 6" long! I am thinking about getting the old ones recurved since they are the originals. Anyone...

There is also a member under that handle of greenhornet who was pretty active last Fall in an early A-body straight axle budget build in teh Member's Restorations forum. Might want to take a look at his thread and contact him as well. I think that he had a plan in place. L8r Jim
