Handed out a club card to a guy who had his 383 SBC on the dyno breaking it in and checking numbers. Was a blueprint crate engine with aluminum heads and a tunnel ram with 2 500 eddies on it. Motor made 427 horse and 470 torque. Is going into a 72 chevelle. His buddy that was with him also had a 72 chevelle with a...

Going to be building my buddies 396 shortly and wondering if any of you have run into valve cover to brake booster interference with tall valve covers? Going to be running full roller rockers so will need taller then stock to clear everything. I don't remember this being a problem on chevelles like it w...

This one is for my son. 2006 with 56,000 miles from CA. Rear damage that I pulled/pushed most of out today. I have a replacement trunk lid, in color, that needs some rust treatment before I put it on. I LOVE southern cars...loosen a fastener with a wrench and then spin it off with your fingers. Getting it h...

In reconditioning the AC heater box, evaporator, etc, it has been mentioned to redo the zinc plating. Anyone care to recommend as shop or other option? Thanks

I just wanted to tell all you guys about the best club I've ever been in, and I've been in a few as I'm a 100. This weekend John B Grajmahal gave me some items for free he even drove out to my place to give them to me, wow, then he fixed my glovebox lock. Can beat that. I have had other people help or give me things...

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. They mentioned 1 car being found in MPLS, which we know to be Darren's. Nothing of the other 8 has been found. Just found this on their web page... http://kstp.com/news/...

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...

While you guys were out having fun and looking at cool cars at Street Machine Nationals, I was on the dreaded family vacation. My mom had asked me a while ago if I would want to go with my folks and grandparents to the Henry Ford Museum over in Detroit. Without having an input on the dates, mom planned it ove...

sitting at the Coon Rapids festival car show, I see an older NCC club shirt, but the guy is sitting in front of a baby blue rare 69 AMC Javelin??? His name is Jim. next thing, we'll have guys doing the same thing but driving Mustangs, right Mr Sabby?

looks like a few $'s spent on the resto; but I think not my taste.

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?

Thought this was interesting... especially for those who store their cars more than 1/2 a year - like when you live in MN.

I ran in to Brad W., Terry D., Bob L., Tom B., Chris P., Hank M., Mark Z. and other club members I now I am forgetting as the GM show today. I had a good chance to see up close Brad's '57 build.

I have always thought this intake setup was the coolest thing back in the day. Granted this the Edelbrock copy of the GM design but also not near as expensive as a GM version. Not the best for street driving either but I think the cool factor will make it all worth while. Plan is to install this on the chevel...

I got asked a question about what rear seat will fit a 2 door sedan body. Seems the consensus is only a hardtop seat is the same dims ? I don't know, so anyone have some info ? Why wouldn't a 4 door sedan seat be the same ?

If you missed today's meeting, you missed another great event. I'll tell and show all the juicy details in the upcoming newsletter, but we met a MASTER of his craft today.

This is a friend of Mike S and I. He wants to sell this thing and trying to figure out a starting point on price. What does everyone think? I was thinking 20k myself.

Hi everyone, I got an email from a gentleman who stumbled on a 1983 El Camino in a backyard and was wondering if it is worth restoring. I told him that is a tough question to answer without seeing the car, but that I'd post it here in case someone had words of wisdom for him. Any help you may have would be appr...

I'm on the road this weekend with the band and found this car sitting out back of a truck stop in Wisconsin. The massive rear spoiler caught my eye so I had to check it out.

Has anyone found a good source for control arm bushings? I'm looking for uppers, lowers, front and back packaged in a kit. Not going auto-crossing, just want something for a stable ride. I've reached the saturation point, the more I look the more brain dead I go.

Fortunately this happened a block from my house. Well I guess my engine bay need a good cleaning.
