My New Adventure in Cad Plating Has Begun!
I dropped off about 300 lbs of original 1963/64 Cadillac bolts, nuts, smaller brackets, and another 50 to 75 lb of larger items to be cadmium plated today. I have been parting out 63/64 Cadillacs for 23 years and this is the 1st cad plating I have had done! Should get everything back in 2 to 3 weeks, and will go through the process of resorting with some help from my new Super Sorter - Cheryl Edge! My 64 CDV will have 1st dibbs on the best of the best but then I will sort and package items and put up for sale for a reasonable price.

I think so. I was very impressed with the Cad samples I saw.

I had a few bicycle parts done a few years ago when I was restoring them. Cad plating is typically not too expensive but the place I went to had a minimum charge which made just getting a few fasteners done pretty impractical. Taking in some tonnage is the way to go.

I contacted several places and all has some type of minimum (e.g. $100, 100 lb, $45 lot for bolts up to 100 lb, etc).

Will be picking up 396 lb of Cadmium plated bolts, etc. tomorrow... stay tuned.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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

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…
