Interior Work- 63 SDV
Well I finally made the jump and had some work done on my interior. Thought I would share a pic of the cover my upholsterer punt on my dash. It was cracked in several places with the ugly foam showing. Seemed like every time I touched it, I put a new crack in it. I think it turned out well for a driver. Anyway- no more ugly cracks. They did have to put a seam on the underside around the instrument cluster and one leg. But, it didn't cost me a $grand +.

Very Discreet...looks factory and you would not know otherwise. Looks 1000% better than a cracked dash!

Here's a pic of where they put the seams on my dash when they recovered it, just an FYI. Guess its time to put the lower dash cover back on.

I had my interior work and dash done at Fat Cat Speed and Upholstery shop in Topeka Ks. It cost me $350. I was happy with the work they did.
Makes driving the old girl much more enjoyable. Also, not quite as embarrassing as the cracked dash and ripped up seats and carpet.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
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

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
'63 Eldorado trumpet horn + 2 standard horns restoration
Posted by Les Eastling on November 15, 2023 at 10:34am 1 Comment 0 Likes
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…
