    Auto Krafters now sells them as a repop. They are grey instead of white foam. I am working with thm on getting the white foam.

    There are enough people parting those cars out that they are not necessary. :D

    I will have to see if they are interested in doing those.

    Hey Blu - I used some of those gaskets to start a fire when it got cold last week. Are you saying I shouldn't have done that? :biglaugh:

    Mean_maverick, you're not kidding. I went in one of my donor cars last week (finally!) to find parts to finance my maverick addiction and all there was inside were taillights and grill lights and headlamps. lots...like rabbits :hmmm:

    tbuck, I'll take a look this weekend and post back if i have a good set.

    i would think a hardware or craft store would stock simular foam, if not better, that you could just cut to size
