Jason Edge Engine Rebuild and Other Projects
Here is a list of links to my 2012 Engine Rebuild Project and various Other Restoration Projects and thought it might be helpful to pull them all together and post on our Restoration Forum. See links below:
I thought I would put together some links to pictures and videos from my engine rebuild since it was posted and scattered around the site as I was going through the process.
Click on Photo Albums Links above slideshow below to see progression of engine rebuild. I will add video later:

I often get asked about my history with the 64 Cadillac and the March 2014 Newsletter article I did featuring the 50th birthday of my 64 Coupe de Ville put's it all together rather nicely. I keep a PDF version on my iPhone and thought I would share here. To check it out click on Jason's Story from March 2014 Newsletter.pdf

Thanks, It's crazy that it has been 8 years! Needs a bit of freshening up but has held up well.

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!
