    Wanted "FoMoCo 7M" 14 x 7 stock steel wheel

    No, just a stock steelie 14x7…looking for one (or two) stamped “7M(A thru M).” Not a pressing issue by any means, but if you think you might have one (or two) laying around, I’d be happy to buy them (+shipping). I’m just keeping my stock steel rims and original full wheel covers on my CS while...

    Wanted "FoMoCo 7M" 14 x 7 stock steel wheel

    Ruppstamg, I hate to break up a set of 4, but if you’re not concerned about that, I’m interested! I only really “need” one to replace a damaged one, but depending on your price and shipping, I could possibly take a second one, in order to have a correct spare. Email me at your convenience at...

    Wanted "FoMoCo 7M" 14 x 7 stock steel wheel

    Hello Niel, This is probably going to strike you as a very strange question/response to your last response to this thread from over 13 years ago! I have to apologize that I just randomly came across your response in the last day or so while searching the forum for some other info, and I...

    1968 Marchal light bracket rivets?

    True…I have a buddy in town who owns a local welding/fabricating shop who seems to have every old-school metal fabrication tool known to man, including a hydraulic rivet setter…betting he has the correct set (somewhere in his shop ??! 😂) if I can find the correct rivet…and he drinks Miller Lite 🍺

    1968 Marchal light bracket rivets?

    Very true…and a little easier to remove without risking beating up the brackets or grill, if the need arises.

    1968 Marchal light bracket rivets?

    Thank you sir. I’ll check them out…someone else referenced AMKProducts in an earlier post, as well. Both sits appear to have a number of close matches, but I’m guessing I’ll just have to mic the hole diameters and material depth for size, and then pick the closest head shape from photos, unless...

    1968 Marchal light bracket rivets?

    Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well! Does anyone know the correct rivet type and size on the AMKProducts.com site for the Marchal brackets-to-Grill assembly? Looking at the AMK site and comparing to photos of original grills (and Mike’s reproduction photos), they look like Universal Head...

    Interesting…this car has the same square body color pot metal rear marker lights like mine, that according to Mike Jewell, were only installed on the first 200 hand assembled prototype cars. So far, I haven’t discovered any reproductions of these square marker lights. Has anyone else...
