'64 Cadillac Gear and Show Sign

Thought I would share the following with everyone...after a season of showing my '64 I started looking around to get a show sign made. I found the following site and had a custom sign made. I provided a number of photos that I had taken and the rest was up to the designer.

Leather / Vinyl repair...found a really good company!

I wanted to share the following...my interior overall is not bad and does not to be replaced but needed some TLC. At a recent car show a vendor called Fibrenew made a nice presentation and said they would come to my home and started work to repair issues with my interior and to re-dye my leather back to original. The guy really took his time and made my backseat look like new. He will be back to finish the front seat. I'm amazed at what he was able to do to fix the cracking in the leather and… Continue

New rubber door moldings....question

When replacing has anyone found the doors hard to close? I'm hoping the rubber will relax pretty quick...yes/no? I ordered the kit from Steele Rubber.

Can see daylight at the top of the door when looking out...any ideas?

I've replaced the door moulding but can still daylight when looking over at the passenger door the same goes when looking out the driver. The daylight is at the top of the door. I have to be missing another piece of rubber moulding but cannot figure out what it is. It also allows water into the car. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Jason, question is your leather and vinyl the same color on the inside? I'm having my interior worked on and it seems the color of the leather is on the creamy side and the vinyl is white.

Question about rubber mounts under the hood

Along the painted metal portion above the grill there are small rubber type pieces along the length of the grill that I'm assuming are to fit against the hood. Does anyone know where to find those pieces I have one that is missing and a couple that appear broken or torn. I've been running into some pretty tough judges at shows.

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,

-Samu

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

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?
