Newbie here from Ks - 63 Sedan DeVille

Hello all, thought I would introduce myself. Tom Bahner here in Rossville Ks. Hope I'm posting this in the correct place, if not let me know. Absolutely love the looks of these old ledsleds.

Was happy to find this chapter as I have just become the owner of a 63 Sedan DeVille. She's pretty rough but being on a retired budget, was one I could afford that actually ran and drove. I thought about having it hauled the 3hr.trip  home but decided to roll the dice and drive her home. PO changed the oil, tranny fluid, and topped everything off as part of the deal. Cruised home without a hiccup! What a fantastic drive, even in the state its in. Last tagged in 98.

Will start the process of bringing it back mechanically 1st, then work on the other stuff. Have lots of questions, so I hope you all don't get sick of me. 

Looking forward to talking to you all.

Tom B

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,

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…
