The January 2015 Newsletter included a solution to replacing the Fender Skirt Seals often missing after 50+ years. I have attached as a separate PDF file which you can see by clicking on Fender Skirt Seal Replacement.
I will also copy this to our Help Topics page.

I used a rubber seal that went over the skirt lip, its tight but seals really nice, I got it from rubber the right way. I like the way you should with the gasket material, I did not know that was the way it came originally.
The rubber seals they seem to carry would be a good substitute. The original seal is usually long gone. The pictures at the start of the article that I included, were of the 41K mile Fleetwood that had been in a garage since the late 80's. Even it was coming off as you see.

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
