I have been discussing original colors of various components around and under the hood with a contact via email and I was asked about the cover plates over the headlight housings in the front of the fender, and admitted mine have been wrong for some time since the first guy that painted my car painted these the car color. Since they should be a satin/semi-gloss black, I decided to take care of this once and for all today. It took a whole lot more time masking and protecting the car from overspray than preparing the plates. Anyway, I thought it was worth sharing, especially since I see the inserting pictures feature is again working.

Pretty sure you are an artist with a Rattle Can and I don't care how good the Hirsch paint is( if that is what you used) . You have the touch !
Ha! I do have the timing of it down.... prime, wait 20 to 30 minutes, 1st top coat, wait 20 minute then 2nd top coat, wam-bam, thank you, mam, Done! I use to be good at that wrinkling thing... you know wait too long to apply that 2nd coat so the top coat attacks the bottom coat. I call that technique the "side-tracked" paint technique... get side-tracked and Voila! Wrinkling.
I think you need to add this to the garage, http://www.raleighclassic.com/used-Raleigh-1973-Cadillac-Eldorado-B...
Right up the street from you ! 22000 miles
Sweet! Maybe one day I will actually make it to the Raleigh Classic. As you say it is just right up the street!
Looks great !
Looks good Jason.
Interesting, for 64 Cadillac did them under hood black. On my 63, which still wears the original factory paint, those panels are the same as the body color.
Yeah, I think that adds a bit of "pop" to the under hood scenery. Back to original and looks better... love those win-wins!!
thank you

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

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!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
