I need to see the right way to attach my door panels. Just had them made but am unsure of how to attach them. A pic would be great. Thanks in advance

On the side perimeter, those are small ring-shank like nails that go through the metal strip on inner edge of door panel. On my 64CDV I actually used small ring shank nails from Home Depot to drive thru door panel and into insert for the few I was missing.

Who rebuilt your door panels?  Mine were done in the not-too-distant past but aren't an original pattern.  I'd like to go back to proper door panels.

Thanks,

Thanks Jason! That door has the same long slot as the 61-62 have that the water proof paper goes into. In the next few weeks I will stop by Rubber the Rightway store and get a photo of their water proof paper.
Not sure if mine are original pattern either. They matched what I brought in just made them new
Door panel pic finally

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

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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?
