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...

Going through on my way back from AZ and BJ, kooks like it’s reasonable compared to the Auction.

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. Probably a week past prime viewing for the leaf colors but still lots on the trees. Weather was perfect, with the top up of course, and the Chevelle ran like a top. Not knowing what mother...

I recently learned of a product I had never used although I guess it has been on the market for several years. Many of us use clay bars but I now learn there is a clay "towel". The towel is impregnated with the clay and comes in different grits which are somewhat more or less aggressive and the price reflect...

Gary is one of those guys in the club you recognize but isn't really a "forum guy" or into the whole social media thing so the name may not ring a bell.

A friend of mine is installing a new carb on his car and bought an Edelbrock fuel filter. He opened it up to inspect and it appears the chrome/coating is flaking off inside because the filter already has debris in it. He was wondering if there is something that people have had good luck with? All I have is t...

I have a Cooling Components 2 speed fan on my '38 and it never seemed to move enough air, even though I have it wired for high speed only through the Dakota controller. Purely by accident and curiosity last week, I discovered I need BOTH the low and high wires on the fan routed together to get high speed. No...
