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??

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...

Had to move the Chevelle from one side of the garage the other day, so took a few video's to remind me of the sound of Spring at various fast idle rpm's. Plus this way I have video's to use when I put the engine on CL.

We were able to stop on our trip tp Phoenix, not a lot of cars from the 60’s, probably around 100. Mostly cars from the early 1900’s; but 40’s, 50’s, and 50’s represented. I am including a few photo’s.
