I noticed today that my front bumper license plate frame has a dent. Ugg! Is this something than I can push out/hammer out from the back side (and re-chrome is necessary) or should I just replace it (if I can find a suitable replacement. Sorry about the size of the pic. I don't know how to shrink it. If you scroll down, you'll see the dent. Thank you.

The front lower license guard removes from the lower center bumper bar via the 4 carriage bolts you see. You usually need to soak the bolts with PB blaster overnight unless they have been removed before. You can what I think they call a cross peen hammer (I have seen various names for it) as seen below. Take the straight blunt side and put in the crease and hit with another large (e.g. 5 lb hammer) to push out. I've punched some dents out like that but the never look like new.
Thanks, Jason. I’ll give it a shot.

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…
