64, 60 Special Heater Core Replacement.
Thank Heavens I've just finished it. What a nightmare.
Discovered the car had no heat while an attempt at a Thanksgiving Dinner at my wife's aunts house in Connecticut. No heat meant we used the 09 CTS4.
I removed the 2 heater hoses from the fire wall and tried blowing through the core. Very little to no air or coolant came out. Also noticed that the previous owner had issues with the pipe that runs under the intake manifold to the 5/8" end of the core. It appears to have…

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed

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.
