I think Kevin wanted some more trivia so here is one I can give you from parts end of things.
Looking at the rear end assembly below, what is the weight?
Whoever gets it within 5 lbs gets the cigar!
NOTE: this is a Controlled Differential (posi) rear end but believe the weight would be close to the regular hypoid type rear end. Also note it does not include the control links or upper control arm. And no, chain hoist were not weighed!! Just the net weight of the rear end assembly? Rear end does have rear end oil.
So.. who is going to get the cigar!!!!
Tags:
47.2 Kilos if it has oil in it. (104.05lbs)
47.0 if its dry. (103.39 lbs)
Has oil but way off! You don't even get the filter end off a cig with that guess!
Just winding you up!
Another guess way off. You think that rear end weighs the same thing as a ballerina!
225 lbs.?
Oh, you mean the whole rear end... oh, I was just going with one side, so double my figures and see how I go. LOL
105 kg
Anders is closest so far with 105 Kg / 231 Lb but not quite there yet and No Cigar!
Hint: I have posted the weight of a rear end with the drums and brake parts removed .... so if you have been working out with 63/64 Cadillac brake drums lately you can probably get pretty close!!
How about 241 lbs.?
Getting closer! Not there yet!
Heavy enough to go truck freight only!! 253 pounds and a whole lotta ouch if you drop it on your toes?
Michael is getting close but not quite there yet!

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…
