Dash Pad Removal
I’m have a bit of a hard time removing the interior chrome windshield side moulding trim necessary to remove the dash pad. I’ve removed the screws, but the trim does not seem lose and I don’t want to force it. How do the chrome pieces actually lift out?

With bottom and top screw out, grab near the top and pull down and inward. After being installed 60 years the stick a bit, but with firm prying down and out, the inner A pillar ultimately will pop loose.

Thanks Jason. I'll give that a try.
Also, I want to pull the black and plastic Radio Face Plate (see picture). I've managed to get 5 of the 6 screws out, but one screw is impossible to see and is down near the ignition switch. It appears it can only be reached with a small open end wrench, but I just can see it. (on of the reasons I am pulling the dash cover. Any thoughts about getting that last screw out?
Do you have have a nice chrome instrument bezel available? My is okay, but it has some pitting dots. Not horrible, but not clean either.
Thanks, again.

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…
