Brake lights
Posted on September 28, 2014 at 2:02pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
While the brake lights on my 1963 series 62 convertible do work, other drivers complain that they burn too dimly to be seen in daylight. Before I look for more complicated causes, can anyone tell me if there is a grounding point for them in the trunk?
seat belts
Posted on April 6, 2014 at 9:30am 4 Comments 0 Likes
I'm lucky enough to have received a complete set of the original Hamill seat belts (Model RFC-45-B) for my '63 as a birthday present from my wife. A soak in an ammonia solution along with some polish cleaned them up nicely, but as nice as they look, they don't function. Has anyone had any luck in freeing up the webbing that passes through the chrome receiver? Because the webbing is stuck the belts can't be adjusted.
Thanks,

tilt steering/ horn trouble
Posted on May 18, 2013 at 8:50am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I installed a tilt steering column from a 63 Caddy parts car in my 63 convertible and am having trouble with the horn. Does anyone recall if there are spacers, insulators, or washers around the plastic backed, brass horn ring? I can't tell from the service bulletin, but the horn shorts out and the contact ring is the location of the short. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For years my winds have seemed to be looser and less accurate than most modern windows. I am thinking the soft parts are worn. Has anybody gone through thier window regulators and felts to restore…Continue
Correct whitewalls

I just replaced my tires from Diamondback (I had bad results in the past from Coker). It was the second time, due to the age of the tires. About 18 years ago Diamondback made custom whitewalls…Continue

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
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…
