           Wow Edouard !!! that envelope must have gotten tired of the Pony and hopped on a company jet with a tailwind, it sure did get to you fast ... OK let me know when you put it on. I made another dozen on Friday, so i have plenty for whoever wants one.

Installed it - Finally! (Re: 65 antenna teardrop gasket)

Dear Tony and mid-60s Buick perfectionists,

I'm racing feverishly to get my trusty wagon to head over to have her engine installed.  I finally had time to install the cork gasket that Tony made for me.  Here is how Tony packaged it:



Definitely arrived here safe and sound.

Here is what my old antenna setup looked like:



You can definitely see the styrene under the chrome.  Here is Tony's replacement:



It is cut a bit oversized.  The purist might want to glue the cork to the chrome and then trim back the excess cork.  I'll eventually get around to doing that, but today wasn't the day!

Thanks Tony!!  :hello2:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Hi Edouard,  I see that you put on the gasket. Looks Great  :thumbsup: Yes i cut them oversize, if the purist wants to trim it down he/she can do so, if not just leave it, it's OK.  If anyone reading this post wants one, I have some left. Just send me a PM with your name and address and i will mail one out to you...
