The January 2015 Newsletter included a solution to replacing the Fender Skirt Seals often missing after 50+ years.  I have attached as a separate PDF file which you can see by clicking on Fender Skirt Seal Replacement.
 
I will also copy this to our Help Topics page.

I used a rubber seal that went over the skirt lip, its tight but seals really nice, I got it from rubber the right way. I like the way you should with the gasket material, I did not know that was the way it came originally.

The rubber seals they seem to carry would be a good substitute. The original seal is usually long gone. The pictures at the start of the article that I included, were of the 41K mile Fleetwood that had been in a garage since the late 80's. Even it was coming off as you see.

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,

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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…
