    I believe this to be an original lower radiator hose. Top one was replaced at some time:

    Just got this 63 4 speed that’s all original. I will be documenting stuff that I find like Eric did. The more info that’s on file, the more that’s known about what’s original on these cars.

    Are these original windshield washer hoses?

    Greg Oakley replied to the topic 62 Headliner material in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 8 years, 9 months ago

    I re-sprayed one cars headliner with a vinyl dye (comes in a spray can, works like spray paint) that was a very good match and made it look new again.
    The photo I posted is Tan. SMS also has white, I am sure.

    Eric, SMS sent me a sample that is shown in this photo. They can pre-make one or just sell the fabric. What does your headliner look like?

    Great job Eric. The interior looks fantastic. If the clock doesn’t work, they are very easy to fix. The only thing I would do different is I would have pulled the motor and rebuilt it. I would not take a chance. Keep up with documenting everything, it’s really helpful.

    Eric,
    Its from the Mike Guarise collection.
    I saw it on line and will be a bidder if I could get more information about it. I have requested more info from Mecum. Hate to find it full of body filler.
    They only show 1 picture. I wonder who restored the Turbo?

    Eric, the oil cap decal is available from “Rubbertherightway.com” and they sell on eBay (free shipping). Search under 1963 Oldsmobile for it.

    The radiator sticker is a little harder, it looks like it says “Important” and it must do with Antifreeze. I found these for 62 Buick. You might have to have one made.

    Greg Oakley replied to the topic Oil pump gasket question-Need help in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 9 years, 1 month ago

    May I suggest getting the Melling steel trust plate kit. The plate comes with steel plate, longer screws, gasket, and instructions to fit the plate between the cover. It allows the gears to trust to steel instead of aluminum. They also make rebuild kits with new gears and spring. Good luck!
