    Where do I get them for a 67 Skylark? I saved them all just in case but it would be nice to replace them.

    Thanks

    Are the extension gaskets you are talking about for the rear quarter extensions? If so, I have a good substitute. I have seen people use old inner tube, but it's not right. The originals were actually a foam material.We have a craft supply outfit here in N.Y. called Joann's Fabric. Maybe all craft places carry this product, I don't know,but anyway they have a sheets of black foam,very similar to the original. It comes in 1/16" and !/8" thickness. I used this when restoring my GS-340, and once in, it looks like the original.Don't hold me to the cost, but about $2.00 for about a 12" x18" piece. Easy to cut, and if you screw up, your only out a couple of bucks. Happy restoring. :)

    Thanks so much for the tip. Yep, it's for the quarter extensions and the skirt gasket seems to be of the same material. We also have Joann's Fabrics here. I'm pretty good at cutting things out and I saved the orginals for a template. We shall see. thanks again.

    I got the fender extension gasket material from Steele. it has the right profile to fit in the groove on my Wildcats.
