Been enjoying having my car back on the road. I recently replaced the brake booster/master cylinder, spark plugs, coil and a new power steering pump. The power steering pump was a bear to get the pulley off of. I'd definitely recommend not tackling without having the right tools. I used a hammer and some crazy contraption I made out of wood pallets accompanied by a vice. Use an air hammer with a brass tip on the center bolt and save yourself the grief.

I go down to Fort Lauderdale every couple of years around Easter and the weather is always phenomenal. I believe my grandparents used this particular car to drive down there a few times. It's hard to keep track as my grandfather had a bunch of these cars. Always bought the same color, too. I believe he had a '58, a '63, '64, '74 and an 85'. The last two left in the family are the '64 and the '85. I'd love to drive this '64 down there for the commemoration.

Thanks, Jason! Hope you can get Dino out and about before the cold weather hits. I'm trying to enjoy this fall weather as best as I can.

The Caddy looks great!! Weather is nice here in NC, too! Right now with the many house projects and Dino needing some attention, I am relegated to cruising in the '02 Escalade! LOL.

I'd also like to thank Russ for suggesting using the hammer to remove that power steering pump pulley because I don't think I would have ever been able to remove it otherwise. Also, don't buy the pumps off of Amazon because the one I received was beat to hell.

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,

-Samu
