carpet
Has anyone purchased carpet from Newark Auto in Orange NJ for your Cadillac? They claim to be one of the largest replacement carpet manufacturers in the USA, and been in business 110 years.

I have not, but I want to find a company that produces a close replica of Cadillac's Tremont cut pile.
The cut pile currently available from SMS and other places I've looked is not very close. The knap is too short, the feel is too light, and the strands are too thin.
Has anyone explored finding an auto upholstery shop that'll make a set from scratch, using as high of quality cut pile as resembles Tremont...but is perhaps being marketed by carpet stores for bathroom or living room use?
If there is such a carpet style on the market, a smart shop could make and sell 250 sets (at least) to us Cadillac owners pretty quick, I'd think.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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

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…
