Might include something in the next newsletter but I have been putting the right side trim back on my 64 CDV after having the body work and paint redone on the RH fender, door rear qtr, and deck lid, having made 4 trips to the local body shop during the first few months of the year. Between house and other projects I have slowly been piecing it back together. One side benefit is I now know the exact 3 clip types you need from Restoration Specialties for the rear qtr molding (more on that later), and have made some trim upgrades along the way.
Bottom line is I have a Eastern NC CLC Region meet-up at the Clayton, NC Harvest Festival this Saturday and just bolted the bumper up on the car yesterday, and think I will have it ready. Today I cleaned it up some and took a picture down the RH side that has been redone. When I get the car back Saturday I will start stripping the LH side to have that side of the car redone.. I still have some things I want to address on the front and rear bumper and front grills...then it is on to the Comfort Control ..which I am hoping to start on by next Feb or March.
Here is a picture I took today of RH side with the iPhone:
And here is one with my recent house project glaring in the background (note the 3 missing columns...redecking the porch!):
and here are my helpers!

Thanks Tony and Jeff. Per the November 1963 Serviceman Bulletin (page 59), the gap between rear qtr is between 1/2" to 47/64" (just under 3/4"). There is no distinction for the Fleetwood/Eldo with the rear qtr trim.

Jason, I liked the detail and information you have provided. I would like to do mine similar to yours. Can you help? Do you have trunk material? OPGI is sending the trunk product for my 63 Fleetwood. But it does cover the entire trunk as yours was done. If you do not have can you give me a reference? Thanks!! Bob

I mentioned during the 63/64 chapter zoom meeting on 3/21 that we had installed a car lift in our garage. Someone asked what kind and I didn't have the info at hand, so here is a link to it and also a link to some tall jack stands we use to add more stability to the car and an additional safety factor. There is something about getting underneath one of these cars that makes me a little nervous! …

Just developed a significant leak coming from a freeze plug right over the starter. Would this be considered a "cam plug" i.e. like Dorman 17616DS? Our cars have multiple sizes of plugs on engine block and I want to get the right one. Also, does anyone know how pricey this is for a shop to fix? Thanks!
