I had a local fellow ask me today about eyebrows for his recently purchased 67. I directed him to this site. He is in search of some other stuff as well, so hopefully he shows up here.

I collect parts...kinda. Only stuff that looks cool on the garadge wall,I can sell or i can use...But if i had a farm?
i tried that one once on the wife. i actually tried to convince her to let me buy a wrecking yard when i first retired. didn't float, she mentioned bad enough with the half finished projects lying around our place now.
Paulish, those peices are always nicked up and hard to find, the chances of finding a used set in good shape are pretty slim... although willies garage is the holy grail of beaumont parts... if theres any that are useable its worth snapping them up!!... they are anodized alum. so they are 'workable' if they are not in too bad of shape... also if you really want a set bad enough there are repros on ebay... i dont know anyone using them yet, but its worth contacting the guy and see if he'll give you any contacts of people who have bought them...
My neighbour has a 67 SD. He told me of a repro of these that is not a great fit. I am not sure who makes them. However, his idea of "not a great fit" is likely still my idea of "that's nice"! He is one of those guys with that knack to spot things instantly that don't look EXACTLY like they should!

Nope, not at all. Most of my cars have been 10 footers.
The exception was the 87 Grand National writeoff I did/had re-done. I hated parking that thing anywhere. One year in spring, first time out after the winter we went to the park. Some guys were playing ball. I was walking over to move the car because I could see they were idiots who had no idea they were going to hit someone's car. I was 2 cars away from getting to our car when their fly fall landed smack on the roof....
Brand new beautiful paint job. I learned about having a nice car, the hard way.
