"Yeah you're right Kurt. The Fleetwood trim edges downward with the contour of the wheel well which would explain the non existent mounting holes at the rear. "

"That is probably a fender from a Fleetwood or Eldorado which do not have those moldings down the length of the car. "
"Hi Mark,
You will have to drill the holes as you said. Just make sure to drill the holes so that you can access the bolts/nuts to tighten each of them on the inside of the fender. Sketch it all out first if you can, and make sue…"
"Hello Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. So it sounds like I may have to drill out the rear holes. The fender is completely missing them. Not a problem, just want to be prepared with the right tools when I head out to work on it"
"Hi Mark,
Albeit I have a 1964 - Series 62, I just replaced this exact molding last year. From memory, there were four spring type clips that slide on to the molding and then the clip bolts go through the fender holes that…"
Front Fender Mounting Holes
Hello Chapter, I had a question on the mounting holes for the front fender side trim. From the pictures I've researched, it appears I'm missing 5 holes. Are these different from the coupe and the sedan? Or could it be that these holes were shaved at some point? Fender doesn't appear to be the original.Side note - I'm unable to reference opposite side as the car is not…See More
"Thanks so much Dennis! Little by little it'll turn into something I can enjoy and be proud of like yourself and the other great chapter members!"
"Hello Kurt! Fellow Texan! Yes it came with buckets when I purchased it. It also contained a center console which has the aesthetic of an original piece but I'm sure is not. On a quick search through Google pics, it does look like the 64…"
"Hi Mark,
Looks like you are coming along very well with your 63. Great work so far!!!

"Hi Mark, I'm down the street in Austin. From the glimpse of your front seat, are they buckets? Looks like 64 perforated leather & pattern."
"I think I'm going to hold on to the glass filter bowl Logan!! I agree they look really nice once cleaned thoroughly! "
"If youre looking to rid of the glass filter bowl, I'd love to take it off your hands! My Fleetwood needs one. Love the way they look!"
" Mark, You have made a lot of progress. Like you said, it is hard to believe the car was running, especially with the fuel filter clogged like that. The timing chain should also make it run considerably better holding the timing more true, and…"
"Hi Mark,
Your 1963 is really taking shape. The pictures bring back a lot of memories of my restoration. You are doing superlative work!

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
