Let The Good Times Roll.... Cruising Season is Here!!
Yesterday I backed Dino out of the garage, and blasted the winter dust off with the air hose, and did several first of the season cruises around town .... filling it up with gas .... gotta do the mandatory cruise down our little down town once, twice, thrice....! Gotta stretch its legs and shoot out to Interstate 40 for a quick fast blast,,, then back around. Oh, got 2 more packages that missed the PO pick up so might as well do a PO run. Hmmm. The wife Cheryl's home from work ... might as well do a Coupe de Pooch Cruise with her and the Youngin's. So... the season is here... and Dino and the Pooches are ready to Let the Good Times Roll!

Good on ya...... and Dino and the tribe look excited. (The wife a bit camera shy?)
The last week-end of Summer here was a week ago, but geez, still bloody hot. We have a good run on next week-end if ya want to tag along Jason. The Redlands Rockabilly Revival is the place to be next Sunday. Great cars and bands.... gotta love life.

I've done my part so far today... 3 cruise outs so far, and about to make my 4th and still just mid day. About to head out again in a bit.

Cruising season doesn't come for another month for us. I have seen a few bikes out and about but still two much salt out on the roads for me. Luck you southerners.

You said it Clovis, just when the sun came out and we hit 50 degrees F, the next day we were back into the 30's with snow, wind and cold.
I started the '57 and '64 Cadillacs to shake off the winter hibernation but it was more of a teaser than an actual "out and about" drive down the road.
Probably a good thing, I managed to hit a deer with my '61 Chevy which is MUCH easier to find panels for than either of the Cads.
Oh the joy of motoring!

We cruise all year round where we are. :-)
Bit hot in the summer if you don't have A/C, but right now, coming off summer and there is something on nearly every week-end.
Wish the week-end would hurry up and get here.

I put about 120 miles on Dino with 4 days driving it out and about. Rain's came yesterday and today so Brutus, to Back In Black 'N' Bad to the Bone '02 Escalade EXT, is back to regular hauling-my-butt-around duties for the last couple of days.
But ...... rain has broke and will have Dino out tomorrow for some intense clean-up and then on to the Carolina Collector Auto Fest (www.carolinacollectorautofest.com) Friday and Saturday at the NC State Fairgrounds inside Dorton Arena.

The Carolina Collector Auto Fest is held twice a year - in the Spring & Fall, and should make both of them this year.

Hi Jason,
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks for an INSPIRING post!!
One question:
was "You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog". playing on your radio?
Regards,
Jeff
P.S. my new interior shipped from Jenkins in Wilkesboro today! Hopefully we will be ready to cruise by the time the rhododendrons bloom in May ;)

It you were to look closely, you could see that a figure of Elvis Is hanging from Dino's rear view mirror.
Also, I believe the color is Sierra Gold or Palomino metallic, as Bahama Sand was a non-metallic tan shade. However the vinyl top could possibly be that shade. Either way it's a stunning combo on this car.
Parenthetically the '64 that astounded me as a ten year-old car nut was a Saddle Firemist (the third shade of gold for '64) Eldorado with a tan top.

Dino started its life with a Bahama Sand Body and Aspen White top, but now graces a Sierra Gold body and optional White cross-grain vinyl top.

I feel so common..... just Aspen white all over for us...
Can't wait for Saturday, throw some soapy bubbles all over, hose off, chamois off the remains, quick vacuum ready for some ROCK and ROLL baby.....
I'm even getting a haircut at the Revival. they have barbers that do really slick work, so i'm going to look like a fat version of the Fonz or Elvis.....
My hair is a mess and I've let it go for a bit ready for this week-end.

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
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…
