Jason Coupe DeVille Resto: Interior Pieces Out for Some Upholstery Work and Painting

Two interior issues being addressed on my 64 CDV:

While I was off work this week I removed the bench seat to have new fabric sewn on the back bottom of seat, and to fix a missing button and add some new padding.  Along with the seat, I also took the arm rests that need to be redyed and some cracking on my left driver side arm rest. I also might see about dying that gear shift lever cap sandalwood.

For the paint shop, I removed all the items that unbolt from the dash including…

Given Up on 3rd Bay - New Shelving Installed

I have tried to keep at least 2 bays in my 3 bay garage open and still get to all of my tools, packing materials and parts I keep in the main downstairs garage area. I have given up on parking a 3rd car in there, and instead of just keeping things stacked in the 3rd bay, decided it was time to get some decent shelving.  I had built a 4' x 6' work table some time and also store items under it, but it was not doing the job alone!

I looked around and found a commercial grade 2' x 6.5' x…

Grandma's Shred Kettle

I have a large 26" wide Kettle that my grandma use to make her lye soap in (only during a full moon by the way), and have held on to it as I have most of the other family stuff passed on to me, and put this mammoth kettle to use as my Shred Kettle!  For flat rate boxes I like to use shredded paper and the kettle works out great for keeping shred and wide enough for most flat rate boxes I can pack right from the top and not worry about making a mess. I am off this week and was up early…

The Worlds Toughest Bridge

Remind me not to get behind any tall trucks going under this bridge in Durham, NC with my 64 Caddy. This was sent to me by a email via a Caddy contact and seems there is a lot of video out there on this often hit bridge just down the road from me:

Thoughts on the Sunday Chat?

Over the many weeks we have had the Sunday chat at 6pm Eastern / 3 pm Pacific it has been rare that we have had more than 3 or 4 members online and in recent weeks we have been lucky to have 2 or 3 or any at all.

I think the low participation is due in large part because it is still early in the day Sunday and many of us are still out doing what we do on weekends.…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

accumulator dryer

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration

Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns. 

There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
