Looking for an alternate to the standard rear bumper, yes you guessed it. This one looks pretty good and has all the factory locations for the wiring, spare tire, lights, and backup sensors along with being able retaining your original factory hitch.

Sunday night's storm hit the "lakes area" hard!! Hank, you OK?? Talked to "Nana Ruth", and she's OK up in Backus (about 35 miles north). She said it was "nothing more than a heavy downpour here, but looking South it was UGLY!!"

I noticed a little oil on the intake, at first I thought it was from the carb; but now I think it may have been due to one or two loose intake manifold bolts. Is this likely? I re-torqued all the bolts to speciations. I will have to drive the car for a few hundred miles and see if any improvement. Would it al...

I just swapped the manual convert top frame on Lucy to a power setup from a Buick, a conversion that I have been wanting to do for some time. All the hydraulics work flawlessly, and I think I have it adjusted to sit correctly. The new frame was bare, so I picked up a new top, window, pads and cables from Eck...
