BettyLou Links

BETTYLOU LINKS including vendor sites for parts and tools as well as sites for MoPar organizations

RESTORATION LOG includes log entries of repairs and restoration between the time of arrival in Florida and the present.

BETTYLOU MAINTENANCE Ever changing detailing, oil change, lube, etc. maintenance routines developed for BettyLou based on the BillyBob routines, including required tools, materials and procedures.

Necessity is the mother of invention and time is my most precious commodity so, if I can find the info, parts and tools I need on the Internet, I'm that far ahead of the game. There are fewer links for Concordes than for old trucks and Jeeps but they are out there. There is some duplication of BillyBob's TRUCK LINKS and Renegade's JEEP LINKS here for convenience (where those links could also apply to BettyLou).

I've web ordered a trailing arm for BettyLou and a few parts for Renegade too.

I will continue to order from these folks.
