Glenn McMahon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 :confused: Hi GentsHave a few questions about the kick panels for my car as they were in the trunk and not installed when I got the car.1- Mine have 6 holes in them. Are these correct for a 64? Checked Clarks and I believe they are.2- The metal fresh air vents have 3 holes. Are these correct?3- Why do the panels have 6 holes and the fresh air vents only 3?4- Do the panels get covered in carpet or painted just the way they are? It seems like the extra holes in the kick panels will be visible?5- Could someone please provide pictures of installed kick panels and installation on a 64.Thankyou Kindly for all ResponsesGlenn McMahonROA #12929 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheezeMan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Glenn,My '63 kick panels I got from Clarks. They have 3 holes, but 2 are for rivets (which you can substitute a screw-rivet). The 3rd is the mounting screw. Mine were originally painted. I think the custom trim may have included carpeted panels, but I am not sure. There were 2 styles created and Clarks clearly points that out in their catalog to use either the 63/64 or the 65 style depending on which interior you have. You should check to make sure which one you need first. Be ware that OPG sells only 1 style, but the picture in their catalog is the other style. The picture was right for me, but what they sent was wrong. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn McMahon Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I looked at CARS in NJ catalog and they show 63-64 as having 6 holes and the 65 as having 3 holes. I am really confused now? LOL as I said before the metal vents have 3 holes so I dont know why there are 6 large holes in the kick panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL as I said before the metal vents have 3 holes so I dont know why there are 6 large holes in the kick panels?I bought the '65 style from Clark's catalog http://www.corvair.com/user-cgi/catalog.cgi?function=goto&catalog=Riviera§ion=Riviera&page=R-20. That one has the 3 holes. Sure, a little weird but it was the right one for my '63. Matched the old panels perfectly. The 6 hole style has a different cut pattern too. If you have the old panels available, check the overall shape for a fit with the new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dialtone Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I have a 64 and I order kick panels from clarks. I'm not sure how many holes are in them I will have to check. But Clarks asked me if I had check to see how many holes my 64 had. I believe the lady from Clarks said that some late year 64's had different amount of holes then the early year 64'sThe kick panels I got from Clarks have 6 holes for my 64.I have a spare set of black 6 hole kick panels from Clarks Edited February 5, 2014 by Dialtone (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
