Might include something in the next newsletter but I have been putting the right side trim back on my 64 CDV after having the body work and paint redone on the RH fender, door rear qtr, and deck lid, having made 4 trips to the local body shop during the first few months of the year. Between house and other projects I have slowly been piecing it back together. One side benefit is I now know the exact 3 clip types you need from Restoration Specialties for the rear qtr molding (more on that later), and have made some trim upgrades along the way.
Bottom line is I have a Eastern NC CLC Region meet-up at the Clayton, NC Harvest Festival this Saturday and just bolted the bumper up on the car yesterday, and think I will have it ready. Today I cleaned it up some and took a picture down the RH side that has been redone. When I get the car back Saturday I will start stripping the LH side to have that side of the car redone.. I still have some things I want to address on the front and rear bumper and front grills...then it is on to the Comfort Control ..which I am hoping to start on by next Feb or March.
Here is a picture I took today of RH side with the iPhone:
And here is one with my recent house project glaring in the background (note the 3 missing columns...redecking the porch!):
and here are my helpers!

Thanks Tony and Jeff. Per the November 1963 Serviceman Bulletin (page 59), the gap between rear qtr is between 1/2" to 47/64" (just under 3/4"). There is no distinction for the Fleetwood/Eldo with the rear qtr trim.

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,

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…
