0000 Steel Wool and some WD40 might lessen the contrast between corroded an the non-corroded anodized layer but once the acid has eaten through the Anodized Layer there is not much you can do. From the pictures it looks like you have damage on the 4 horizontal slats and maybe the one for right vertical slats. It looks like the inner C shaped chrome piece next to the fender is undamaged, and the top section of the bottom framing with the painted strip is undamaged which is good, with damage again concentrated on the 4 horizontals and 2 vertical.
You can take these grills apart but it is tedious at best.
I do have a large stash of the individual horizontal and vertical slats if you wanted to take a stab at it. As a chapter member I would do 4 horizontal slats and the one vertical for $25 + s/h.
I do have one complete 64 upper grill but need to take a good hard look at it. The painted top and bottom sections need to be sanded and repainted but the main core grill assembly is probably good. Price on these are usually $100 Good straight core grill, to $175 for complete upper grill assembly with upper and lower painted section, but the killer is shipping one of these from NC to CA.
The battery shield used on 1964 Cadillacs is covered in the following Help Page:

Fortunately, I checked the car and the battery is now enclosed in a plastic container.. A little too little. A little too late.
Jason, I think I'll give the re-lacing the grill a try (since the car will be in for painting soon, it will be a good time). Please let me know what the shipping will costs and then I can send you the total. Thank you.
Thanks. Mike
Hi Mike,
I would ship in a PVC pipe to protect and can ship for $20. If interested in going that route shoot me a PayPal to jasonedge@nc.r.rcom for $45 and I will get the slats picked out and shipped.

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 have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? 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…
