    Some of you may have seen my posts regarding weatherstripping for my 1977 Mercury Cougar Wagon.

    Well, my search for these original pieces has resulted in almost complete failure and have no choice but to get all new pieces made. Unfortunately, no one out there is producing any of the weatherstripping for my car and it's relatives:

    1972-1976 Ford Torino Sedan and Wagon

    1972-1976 Mercury Montego Sedan Wagon

    1977-1979 Ford LTD II Wagon

    1977 Mercury Cougar Wagon

    I have been in touch with Joseph Frascella of Metro Moulded Parts Inc. and he said that he would be able to reproduce the tailgate seal and all of the four door/window seals. They will also be made out of current materials, not the rubber foam junk like the originals.

    Is there anybody out there that would be interested in any of these items? I am trying to keep my costs down but if no one is interested, I have no choice but to pay for a one off set.

    Please let me know if you are interested, what you would say is a reasonable price for them, and then I can call him back.

    Thanks everyone,
    Andrew
