Here is a list of links to my 2012 Engine Rebuild Project and various Other Restoration Projects and thought it might be helpful to pull them all together and post on our Restoration Forum. See links below:
I thought I would put together some links to pictures and videos from my engine rebuild since it was posted and scattered around the site as I was going through the process.
Click on Photo Albums Links above slideshow below to see progression of engine rebuild. I will add video later:

I often get asked about my history with the 64 Cadillac and the March 2014 Newsletter article I did featuring the 50th birthday of my 64 Coupe de Ville put's it all together rather nicely. I keep a PDF version on my iPhone and thought I would share here. To check it out click on Jason's Story from March 2014 Newsletter.pdf

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.
