Hi,
I need to repair the front left vent window motor and was wondering if anyone had any tips or knows of any videos on removing the door card. I've removed the one on my 67 Eldorado a couple of times but my 64 Fleetwood looks a little more complicated and delicate. ???
Cheers
Jeff

Not that difficult. From memory:
- remove door lock knob
- remove screw at top front of dash extension and slide it off.
- remove two large screws that go up through base of door handle
- remove mirror knob (small Allen screw)
- remove arm rest switch plate (screw at front and screw at rear), lift up & unplug connectors to switches.
- remove 5/16" hex head screw from arm rest plastic tab now exposed to door bracket
- remove chrome washer head finish screws embedded in carpet at bottom. (2 at corners and usually a couple in inner bottom section).
-Door panel should be ready to remove, however you have a series of small ring shank nails that go into plastic inserts on side of door panel. Use a flat pry bar to gently pray the nails loose.
- While pulling door panel away from the door at bottom pull up and over the door lock rod at rear, and lift entire door panel up and over toe top section... then drop front section to clear the mirror adjustment rod at front.
Door panel courtesy light will be connected... disconnect and remove door panel.
Honestly, the only "hidden" pieces of removing the door panel are the chrome finish screws embedded in the carpet and those ring shank nails. Other than that you can basically see everything that needs to be removed. When parting my first car out I never used a video, or instructions and generally just took my time and figured it out... but it is always nice to know the sort of hidden obstacles.
The shop manual will be your best friend, and answer many questions you have about the systems in the car. Next would ne the owners manual as it will go into detail on the operation of the systems.
Thanks Jason!!

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
