Also, any chance of posting a couple big clear pics of that rare automatic transmission kick down switch and bracket mounted at the left rear of center carb?

Thanks, Chris.

Well I didn't know what that switch was for....I thought it had to do with the vacuum operated Tri-Power set up. Our 65 doesn't have it but its a 4spd so that would make sense... We are on our way out of state for Thanksgiving...I will get some when I get back.

The holes in the door jams are from dealer installed Ziebart rust protection. I am not sure if in 64 they left holes like that or put plastic plugs in them...I had a ultra low mile 75 45HO TA that had had it done and it had plastic Ziebart plastic plugs in the holes...I would probably think they didn't have them in 64 but I am not sure.

This is what the Ziebart looks like under the car...







This is what the plugs on the 75 looked like...I have seen them in black too.

My '74 Chevelle was Ziebarted (I'm the original owner...or my mom was, anyway).

I believe the plugs are either black or a reddish/brown on mine.

I have seen them in yellow and black...maybe they had colors to match the car? Also the ones I have seen have had the Ziebart logo and name on them. It seems the plugs started showing up in the mid 70s though...so I am not sure if they had them in the mid 60s though.

As i recall you would take your car back for a respray after a specified time. These were a type of check up of sort. There was a no-rust warranty. Plugs could have been swapped then to newer style.
