North Carolina can be pleasant in the winter, with temps mild (60's/70's in the day and 40's and 50's at night); however, yesterday when I got up it was 20, and the has been in the mid 40's, Today it warmed back up to the mid 50's and almost brought Dino out, but was was waiting on a delivery (heavy duty plate ground tamper) and had to go pick up my 2013 Escalade EXT from the paint shop (front clip repainted).

I was on a roll there for a while but have kept Dino inside this last week but as soon as better weather hits want to get it back out and on the road. I have also been focusing on my 2002 Escalade doing some general maintenance such as oil change, wiper arm and blade change out, and replacing some burnt out dash bulbs, while the 2013 has been in the shop. The 2002 "Brutus" sits there in its well deserved retirement stage at this point, but when I do drive it I look for things that need to be "fixed" or "replaced".   I guess you can say the same for my 64 Dino. Having it out for I'm guessing 20 drives in the last couple weeks I was mentally noting a few things I wanted to address.  Driving a car is the only really way to find out what it needs!

Anyway, I thought I would share what I have been doing... or in this case not been doing with Dino.  While it warmed up a bit today I am showing a low of 21 and high of 41 tomorrow but then warming back up to low 60's by the weekend... so there is hope!

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments

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,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
