My son just purchased a 1964 Chevelle SS that has a 230 six for an engine. He wants to put in a 327 that I have. Does he need to change the motor mounts and if so does anyone have a set for sale.

Wife just traded her Impala for a Equinox. I would like just a spare key, no remote with it. Is that possible with these flip key/remotes? looks like you might be able to buy a blank for the remote and have that cut and fashion something on the end to help you turn the key.

The last page of the May newsletter has a bunch of pictures. I don't claim to be a professional photographer, I'm far from it. I barely know what I'm doing and get lucky sometimes. The main point is that if you DO want to take good pictures, it takes more than just a good camera or a good subject. Knowing wha...

Hey all. Going to be putting my 8x12 wood shed on Craigslist. To help it sell I am trying to figure out how to link the possible buyer up with a way to transport it. Anybody know of a place that will rent a flat bed trailer? Or someone that moves these for a fee?

... to look into the asking price of this old gas station where I'm moving to. It's got a cool 60's look to it, and would make an awesome private shop. Only issue is it's on a main intersection, so I'm sure the seller is looking to cash out. So many ideas... so little money!

Starting a new thread here from your question Tom on if I rented the enclosed trailer so it doesn't derail the meeting post.

Looks to be a quality car. It's at the guys farm in Farmington that rebuilds transmissions. He and his brother are both into cars. Big price for a Malibu convert with the 283. To much for my blood. Most of these Malibu converts I see go from 20-30K. Convert

Check out this parking job in my front yard. Just getting ready to hit the sack when Angie said there's something going on in our front yard. I look out the window to see two fire trucks, an ambulance and four squad cars. The driver was very lucky to have missed some large trees.

When I attach pics, they only show up in the attachments area, and not in the post. Is it a formatting thing? I've noticed when some of you attach a pic, it's also in the body of the post, and want to figure out how to do that without uploading to Photobucket and pasting the URL into the post. Thanks.
