DUST DUST DUST DUST DUST

Did I make it clear?! DUST.

I use my 64 Fleetwood regularly and it being black, it shows dirt and dust easily. Part of me thinks there is a static attraction to the car….

My questions is, are there any cleaning products you use regularly to fight off the dust? A ceramic coating is in my future, but not at this time.

Thanks all!

Logan

I should add as it was not clear enough, a car cover is a sub par option. I want to jump in and go, not have to uncover and recover daily and per trip.

A problem with a Calif Car Duster, or similar products that use wax-embedded strands to take the dust off your car, is that they can leave waxy marks on the paint. Especially noticeable on black cars.

I have ceramic coatings on two of my new cars (both are black) and I swear they don't get as dusty as my other cars.

Ceramic seems to make it easier to wash, also.

I am greatly considering ceramic coating. My 64 needs some paint correction work first. This seems to be the best option on the market all around

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,

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…
