Rachael and I plan to go. Last year we got a no parking sticker from the Police. Have they gotten friendlier?

I hadn't trolled CL lately for Chevelle parts, and had the urge last night. Scored a set of boxed lower control arms from some cool guys just down the road in Blaine. It was a Dad and his two sons that were pretty cool. They are into the street racing scene which I saw when they showed me their garage with...

I feel horrible for the two gentlemen that passed away, as it sounds like they were out for a test drive for a potential sale in a '70 El Camino locally that got into a terrible accident. Hopefully nobody in the club is impacted by this. The wrong way driver should have been taken off the road a long time ag...

Got a call yesterday at work and they said, 'Hey, that Slingshot reservation you have in Oct., do you want it this week?'. Since I'm off the rest of the week, of course I said YES! Got certified/checked out on it yesterday, and brought it home tonight. This little girl is FAST! I think the 0-60 is just o...

I got an 80 page catalog yesterday and they have a LOT of parts for Chevelles and El Caminos on sale, far more stuff for Elco's than I ever knew about. If anyone has been putting off getting parts, take a look at their website...

Well after dropping my Sirius XM for the silverado they offered me a new deal $5 of month to steam online. Skeptical but I bought the idea. Anywhere my iPhone or the wife iPhone can reach a tower, I have SM radio in both my Silverado and my Equinox plus at home. And added but unexpected benefit. Son-...

Can someone post Fred's info? I'm looking for estimates on getting a top installed on the Z28 vert, and have emailed Mark at Yellow Dog but haven't heard anything in over a week, so thought I'd check with Fred. Thanks

I have a 200r4 I'd like to get built to heavy duty specs. With John at Master Trans gone, anyone have any experience with another shop/builder ?

Been trolling now and then for a nice clean convertible whether it be a Mustang or GM product since Tina and I are back in the land of cool evenings and temperate weather compared to hot and sultry Kansas City, and found this one on CL this week. Picked it up today!

I've got a co-worker that is wondering about POR-15. He's got some stone chips on the wheel openings of his truck that have rust-bubbled and crawled to the "face" of the body. The quote from his bodyshop was $$$$, and didn't imply a guarantee the rust wouldn't return. The shop gave the suggestion of tre...

Changing out the seat upholstery in the '62 Impala. Quite the fight to get it pulled to the back of the frame to hog ring down. I had to let it sit in the sun for 1/2 hour to get hot and stretch, but it looks pretty good. I couldn't get the piping perfectly straight, but maybe it will shrink some now and tighten...

Looking to install a Mini Split AC in the house. I want to buy units and supplies and do most of the installation. I just need a certified guy to hook up the two line sets to the indoor and outdoor units, (4 flared fitting). Do a nitrogen pressure test. And do a vacuum. Any recommendation to contact....

It never occurred to me until today. 70 and earlier Chevelles have teeny tiny 5" headlights while us with 71/72s have big ol' 7" ones. I will avoid any allusions to adult humor (as you should too) and say only this: It never really was something I ever thought about. I guess I assumed that they all used th...

We are in town from ND this weekend. Back in the day we used to go to Univerusty / Misway area in St. Paul and watch the cars cruise by. I know that Porky's is gone but do they still cruise this area on Sat nights? Or somewhere else to watch cool cars zip around? We will be back for the back to the 50's show.

What type of bushings do y'all use in the differential ears and rear upper control arms? I've heard it's good to use rubber in the ears, and polyurethane in the upper control arms? The ones in my diff are shot, and while in the area, thought I'd replace the ones in the upper rear controls arms as well. I d...

Daughter Sammy is having some trouble with her ride. From the description she gives I think it's fuel related. Car may need (at least) a new filter, possibly an in-tank pump. We don't have the time or means to get it back to the 40 Watt for repairs. Anyone know of a good shop up there??

For some reason when I access the main page for the forum everything is OK. And when I go to an area like projects, thats fine. But when I click on a topic, if its more than a short sentence, I have to move the window to view all the writing. Is site is the only place this happens.

Now that we're on a mini-acreage (just under 1 acre), I'm looking to buy a utility trailer to haul landscaping materials and the garden tractor or motorcycle locally if needed. Anyone have any recommendations on size/type? Budget = $1000 or less (Maybe I'm low?) 1500-2000 pound load capacity I'v...

So we had our air ducts cleaned in the house yesterday, which was badly needed but may have not been a good idea. I think it pushed the blower fan motor over the edge, as now it's running but with very low air output, and when the burners fire it shuts off after about a minute and the pre-exhaust fan stays on...
