As I prepare for the CLC Fall Festival next weekend, I find myself finishing up everything on my list that I wanted to get done ACCEPT the lower front grille.
Jason put together a SUPERB front grill for me several months ago and I have been afraid to tackle that job.
I have the whole weekend to get the lower grille out and put back in.
How hard of a job will it be? Looking for any tips and tricks, thank you!

I would use plenty of PB Blaster getting the perimeter fasteners off the old one, use a bright headlamp, and just take your time.
Does the bumper need to come off? It looks like everything should come right out of there!
Shouldn't need to come off. I remove the entire assembly when parting a car. At works you might loose the upper bumper outer to inner fender "hanger" bracket from bottom and loosen the 4 large bumper bracket to frame bolts/nuts to the bumper assembly drop a bit but I don't think you need to drop the entire bumper. Someone may have experience replacing in place and can chime in and I will look at my 64 again later this evening.

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…
