There's a local photographer here in the KC area that hits most of the car shows during the summer and takes pictures of the cars as they pull into the shows. He just posted a slide show for the year groups on his web site. Sit back, grab something to drink, and enjoy some KC area Chevelledom! You'll see...

I was talking to a guy who is so stuck in old engine design it made me sick. He tells me the secret to build what he called a 500HP engine back in the day.

I recently unearthed an old stash of 8 Track tapes we had stored away. No cost involved, if anyone has an 8 tack in their car and needs something to play get a hold of me.

I have an old 66 Chevelle AM/FM radio in my car. The part of the antenna cable that plugs into the bottom of the radio is kind of loose and sloppy. I think that is the cause of some reception issues. Any tips on how to make it fit more solid? Thanks

Chris P. In the process of replacing my intake manifold and valve covers tonight, I discovered that on this mystery motor I think there are '69 Camel Hump heads?

Last evening, channel 5 had a short about all the cars stolen during the SMN event. They had taped interviews with some of the owners.

Found an 8.2" Eaton posi 3.36 gear rear axle from a '69 Chevelle about an hour from me, and wondering WIW? The seller posted it at $475, but I've got him down to $375, which I think is reasonable since a new posi is $500+ these days. It does need backing plates and brakes, but I'd probably due a rear disc con...

Time for "Blackie" to get a new set of shoes. (I'm never going to wear out the Blizzaks on him now, and I'd like to take benefit of the suspension upgrades I've done) Looking for a decent performance street tire, they don't have to be super-sticky, but a good blend of stick and wear. Ideas?
