I have a limited slip diff and want to strip it from the case and send it out for powder coating. The axles are out, the brake plates are off, but I have not figured out how to get the guts out of the pumpkin. Most have caps, unbolt the caps and it drops out, but these are different. I assume they press in, but how do you get them out?

I have the similar problem. In my garage the old axle is dismantled and in the same stage as yours. Haven't found any solution and is thinking of ditching it as I have a good replacement fitted on the car.
A "G" controlled diff is much more valuable, so if yours was okay before you took it apart, maybe you should reconsider and assemble it again. Hoping its still okay.
In the manual page 11-3 its stated that special lubricant is needed for "G" axles, so keep that in mind. Same thing is stated on 2-3 upper right hand side, so it does look like its something the factory thought important.
Page 11-10 in the manual:
When I had my replacement rear axle blasted and painted it went in as a complete unit and areas where there should not be any sand/paint was covered with tape or a rag. Do remember to cover the "breathing hole" on top (yellow arrow).
Thanks, I think it is in good shape, I may just put it back together and let it go. Generally I would like to do any repairs before I go through the labor to put the part in the car. I do not like replacing the same part twice, so I tend to rebuild it if I touch it.

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,

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…
