FFR has a discussion forum similar to ours. It has been a valuable resource to me (and others) for an idea exchange, tips, tricks, and clarification while building one of these wacky cars.

Since I added AC last fall I am thinking that the 34.5 pitch fan will more a lot more air than the 27 degree blade. How much might just be a guess. I noticed the corvette fans available seem to indicate the the 34.4 pitch was used on AC cars. Maybe some of the other GM A body cars used a higher pitch on their a...

I had a gas line run last winter into the attached garage of our house (not the man cave being built), and wondering about thoughts on radiant vs. forced air non-vented heaters. I'm looking at a couple at Northern Tool since they have some pretty good prices right now, and both heat up to 1000 SF. The gar...

Has anyone ever seen the front lower control arm bushings tach welded in? Just came across a set where the lower rear bushing has been tach welded in. I don’t work with a lot of control arms but these are a first for me. It’s a 72 SS Chevelle built in Kansas City.

I was looking for my folder on the current '71 Malibu for some info, and found the folder from the white '71 I had in 2008 that contained a couple of club newsletters from a decade ago that we used to get in the mail!

That particular Chevelle was featured in a couple of the newsletters (it was so...

Bonnie and I took off today for a 100 mile cruise. We went down the west side and up the east side of the St. Croix River.
