My 64 Caddy Dino is indeed back In action officially as of yesterday with hood hinges and hood installed. 
I had my brother Randy stop over after work and help with the hood install. As we held either side, wife Cheryl started the bolts through the hood nut strips. My plan was to just get it on there where it would close, then take to body shop, but we actually got it on pretty staight. There will be a bit of what learned or relearned about hood adjustment in the next newsletter. It is not perfectly set but not bad at all.

Of course the hood hinges with the new Cadmium plating look fantastic, as well as the upper hood latch. As nice as I thought it looked before I can now show off all that new plating!  The night before I put about 15 miles on Dino, and last night about 10 miles with wife Cheryl and the two pooches. Cheryl will be out of town for a couple of days and see myself taking pooch cruise breaks often this weekend!  

So, here are some pictures with Dino's new hood hinges and some cruise shots from last night.... as I posted on my Facebook Page --> LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
