Control arm bumper removal

While in the middle of my front suspension rebuild, I realized it would be nice to remove the bumpers on the control arms. Does anyone have an easy method for removal?

Hi Dave,

From what I remember, a lot of rust buster initially and let it soak in for a day or two. Depending on nut/bolt or wedged in, some chiseling/banging to remove them. It has been a while for me however.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

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,
