Cadmium Plated Cadillac Bolts - More Used that You Can Shake a Dip Stick At!

I have now had just under 3,500 lb of Cadillac fasteners gold cadmium plated, one thing I don't run out of or have to run down to the hardware store are nuts and bolts. 

I just replaced my 20+ year old bench vice with another, and there was no running down to Lowe's or Home Depot to get the recommended 7/16" bolts!  In fact I went with the Grade 5, TR stamped bolts and of course made sure I had a matched set.   

For those of you that have followed may Cadmium Plated adventures, I thought you might get a kick out of the fact I actually use these fasteners for just about everything. 

Check out my NC State Wolfpack Red Vice all blinged out with the Gold Cadmium Bolts:

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
