installing Splash Aprons...... ARGH!

When I detailed my engine bay last year after the engine rebuild I never went back and installed the new set of inner fender splash aprons I ordered. I've just installed the larger rear apron because it is partially held on via 3 inner fender bolts.  I think I've got the drilling the holes out slightly to 1/16" and clinching the new staples to give it the original look but man that is slow going. I've ended up installing just one staple on both sides for now. With the other 4 pieces (2 per…

Replacing Worm Gear Hose Clamps with Tower Clamps

I've started replacing my worm gear clamps with correct for 63/64 tower clamps and started with the radiator hose clamps on the top and had to screw the 2 1/16" top clamps almost all the way to get them to tighten.  After running the engine I noticed I had a drip leak on the top radiator side clamp and I…

Getting Ready for CLC Eastern NC Region Meet-up Today

I'm really looking forward to our local meet-up today with the Eastern NC CLC region and had the 64 CDV out for a spin last night with Cheryl and Lucky. It's cleaned up and full of gas and ready for today!

Yesterday I replaced some of the worm gear hose clamps with tower clamps and worked on a few other odds and ends and she is purring like a kitten!

Here's a quick picture of the Caddy outside our local AutoZone picking up some supplies.  That is Miss Lucky looking out the…

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

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…
