I think what you've found is a drain flap. There are two of them mounted on the '65s and I assume it is the same for your '63. They are the same part for both flaps.
There is one on the passenger side of the firewall in the engine compartment. The other one is behind the fender in the wheel well area in front of the passenger door. You need to remove the rear splash shield to get at it from the wheel well. You should be able to see the hole (but I doubt you can work on it) in front of the door about a foot in from and maybe a little lower than the upper door hinger.

While changing the fuel line on my '63 Polara 500 (replacing 5/16 with 3/8), there's a tricky little spot up in the front wheel well. While pulling out the old line, some junk fell out that included a thin oval rubber pad about 3 inches by 1 1/2 inches. Also, a wad of black 'putty' that I think was more purposeful than grease and grime. I'm figuring this pad goes under the fuel line against the frame to prevent rattling? Did the putty wad hold it in place, or is that something else? Any advice on how to put this back together correctly? As always, thanks. - Jim Jim Altemose, Long Island, NY '63 Polara 500 (Max Wedge) '63 Polara 500 (383) '65 Belvedere I (Street Wedge) '71 Bronco
