I would appreciate any info where to put those loose padding pieces under the carpet. 4  big ones are quite simple but how about those smaller triangular parts?

and where shall those long black pieces go? They are like carton with some kind of treatment

The padding is just to level the floor off. The metal pan is full of dips and grooves, so just fill them in to make the floor level. 

If this is original padding I would toss it and get some newer aftermarket fire resistant padding. I know of more than one car where the exhaust caught this stuff on fire where it burned the exposed padding under the driver side where floor board was compromised. I actually use this stuff as fire starter in my old cook house! While I like staying original as I can, there is much better material out there now that is fire resistant and provide better sound proofing.  

Thanks for good reminder! I plan to put some sound deadening material to floor to resist heat as well.

Two long pieces go under the rear seat where is no carpet. Pieces have holes in place where rear seat belts are attached.

Padding pieces found their own places. They level the floor off like Russ mentioned.

Is there another material you guy think these leveling panels could be made of? Getting ready to put new carpet in and I dont have these panels anymore. Body shop threw them away

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!

accumulator dryer

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
