Hood Hinges & Hood Back on Dino and Cruising!
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!

Hello I've been restoring a 63 for way to many years. Down to almost done, but have issue with trans linkage, when column in park shift rod 2 inches short. everything original. been trying to find picture of manual rod hooked up from under car to see position of linkage. was wondering if anybody has access for pictures. I wanted to see if my manual linkage is bent wrong out of the trans if somebody dropped the trans or something. Doesn't make sense why it doesn't work. Thanks for any input…

Torque converter grab when idling in Drive
Posted by Cliff Johnston on June 14, 2021 at 8:47pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Hi Everyone, been quite a while since i have been on here.
I have had an issue with the idle on my 64 Coupe Deville ever since i have had it.
With the Idle set high enough that it is smooth, but still a nice idle, the RPM seems only slightly too high for the stall of the Torque Converter. And therefore it tends to sit there and grab and lunge a bit. So until now, i have been putting the car in Neutral at the lights to stop this happening.
I've had the car dyno tuned and…
