Good Afternoon - my name is Chris and I'm new to the site (well ... officially; I've read a lot of your posts and am very impressed by the great advice and interest). I'm working on a very original '63 SDV Park Avenue and am attempting to remove the "Park Avenue" emblems in preparation for a repaint. Once I carefully removed the truck liner, I noticed that the studs are conical shaped and do not appear to have ever had a speed-nut, or some type of push clip ever installed. I have removed all of the trim, bumpers, etc. from the car and this is the last item ... as I'm sure you guys are aware, these emblems seem to be pretty rare and I really don't want to snap studs if I don't have to. Any tips? (Planning for the worst, I have a decent supply of small copper studs and low temp solder from Muggy Weld). Thanks!

Thanks Russ - I only had one broken stud which wasn’t too difficult to repair. Another question, I’ve been struggling with the trim strip that runs from the base of the back window around to the back door (terminating just under the rain gutter). I have carefully removed the inside panel and accessesed and removed the three nuts holdong the clips. With an old body filler spreader; I next began to carefully lift the trim away from the window gasket but couldn’t quite remove it. I really don’t want to destroy this piece, the rubber gasket, etc. Any recommendations. Thank you

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?

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!

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…
