Replacing Front Door Window Chrome Channel
List Mates,
My '64 De Ville Conv. front door window chrome trim needs to be replaced. The chrome on both front door window his getting a little bit of pealing off.
I have the chrome replacement channels, and flat rubber window channel lining tape. I've watched Youtube videos on how to remove the old channels and seat new ones.
This seems like a fairly long an complicated project because it appears that I have to remove door panels and remove the windows from the doors and then to put the windows back in the doors and adjust to glide properly.
Because I can be a bit impatient and clumsy at times, I'm a bit anxious about removing the windows from the doors and removing the chrome trim without shattering the glass. Any tips or things I should consider (like having a professional do it :-). )before I embark on this challenging project?

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

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…
