At long last I finally have power vent windows! I started collecting the parts 3 years ago. The one thing I could not find until recently is the 6 button driver's switch. Jason finally pulled one in and was more than generous with pricing. Thanks Jason! Installing the vent window motors was the easiest part of the project but many other tasks were spawned by this project.
All of this took about 1 month with alternating periods of happiness and frustration. Now that it is all done I'm very satisfied with the results. Pics and videos are attached.

Thanks. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to you and all.
Thanks Jason. It was challenging but all turned out good in the end. At some time in the future if I have my door panels reupholstered, I will relocate the power lock buttons to the front of the armrests where the factory vacuum lock buttons would be. No problem on the future newsletter article. I have a ton of pics and vids of the whole project.
Wow! That looks fantastic. What a cool Christmas Present to yourself. The crazy thing is you bought some of the parts for the power vent setup way back and I swear it seemed liked every 1/3 car the prior few years I had been pulling in had power vents but as soon as Kurt took the partial parts plunge I pulled in zero power vent cars for the next 2 or 3 years! Nadda, Nothing, Zilch! I really hated it for Kurt ... but these parts and what the next parts car will come with is always a roll of the dice. The last parts car, that 63 convertible was mostly stripped of the interior parts, but had a 6 button switch in the floor board that seemed like it would work. I immediately contacted Kurt when I saw I had it and think he managed thru the few other odds and ends.
OK, back to the upgrades. You really took on several big challenges and knocked it out of the park! We need to get this in a future newsletter... so keep those pictures and text of what you did.. and of course we can add more. I remember when I first got my power vent windows in and working and I had it a lot easier as my power vent parts were plentiful... Kurt really had to be patient with his and of course on the 63 you can't just swap out the upper metal plate with a solid one like you can with the 64, and end up with a hole in the door panel.. and he came up with great improvisation.
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS! WELL DONE!

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. 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…
