No good posting them now, as the current ones apply.

From my recollection, the person instigating the "Contact Rita" was banned a short time ago.

The biggest problkem with Spammers is that if Members continue the practice of putting their email address or phone numbers in their posts, they are asking for trouble.

The ideal way to contact, and be contacted is by the Personal Messaging feature, which only Members can use.   Plus, if a Spammer does manage to use the PM, it means that they have managed to join, but they can be easily banned.

That blade is nothing like what I have on my '72 Eldo.

There should be some sort of spring holding the arm to the pin, or the plastic piece is held in place by friction.

There is no Member posing as Ethan Myers on the Forum.

Do you have any other information that you can PM to me?

Thanks,

One question.   When the car was repainted, was the hood dipped in a solution to remove all the paint, inside and out?

If so, it could be that the solution also removed the factory sealer that was placed between the frame and hood panel whilst it was being assembled?

A lot different to the Seam Sealer that I have.   It came in a 1 Pint can and is messy to apply.

When fitting the Trans, I always make sure that the Torque Converter can move forwards and backwards a small amount before completely tightening up the bellhousing bolts.

If after this, the Torque Converter is tight, then it is not seated.   There has to be some movement between the TQ and Flex Plate, and when the TQ nuts are tightened, you are actually pulling the Flex Plate slightly rearwards.   This assists in aligning the Ring Gear as well.

This is a very cool car.
My biggest issue with limos is twofold: the drivers seat is cramped for anyone over 5 foot 8 since the division prohibits seat movement rearward.
Then you have the vision problem. How did the chauffeur merge into right lanes?

I suppose these days it could be a case for Discrimination.   Maybe the owners wanted small drivers so they would sit low and be virtually invisible.

I don't think the makers cared about the driveability of the car as the owners wouldn't be actually driving them.

I tried to drive Jerry Steinards '76 Limo, and it was so uncomfortable, I simply couldn't. (I am 6'6")
