On Saturday, I get my latest issue of Car Craft magazine. I start flipping through it and see a two-page ad for the 2015 Car Craft Summer Nationals in Milwaukee. Looking at a picture of the crowded scene at our fairgrounds, I spot someone familiar. Our Webmaster, John, is just walking out of the picture...

So a buddy of mine in Nebraska called me this week, and says 'Hey... another friend and I were talking about going to Barrett Jackson in January... interested in going?'. I looked into flights, contacted my aunt and uncle that live in Phoenix to see if Tina and I could stay with them, and the next thing I...

I know this isn't Chevelle related, but I have a project for a good (and fair) plumber to do a restaurant remodel in Minneapolis and I thought maybe someone here would fit the bill. I haven't had a lot of luck getting guys who are both willing to tackle this and also have a Minneapolis ticket. Any sugges...

Neat local story from Kare 11 news's Boyd Hupert and his weekly "Land of 10,000 stories" segment he does once a week on 10PM news. This time about a guy whom recently retired and is still driving the 75 dollar 57 pickup he bought almost 40 years ago. http://www.kare11.com/story/news/lo...

Does anyone have a photo of the copper washers that were used on spark plugs in the 60's? Were they similar to the indexed copper washers that Jegs or Summit sell? Do the copper washers seal better? thanks

Don't know if it made the news here, but I had the joy of driving to Aberdeen SD late Monday afternoon. Just about when I crossed the border things got "interesting". For those that don't know the geography of SD's eastern edge, there is NOTHING TO THE HORIZON that will block wind/snow/ice....

Well, I tried to remove the screws that someone else installed.

I wanted to put in the original type screws with the slotted head and the H back in. It looks like the guy used Red Locktight instead of blue or staking the screws. 1st one was OK. 2nd one broke. 3rd one OK, 4th one broke. I guess I...

This is not the clip on the starter that holds the harness to the starter. It is a clip that was installed at the engine assembly plant that mounts on a bolt that hold the bell housing to the back of the block. Thanks.

For those that need some extra tools and like Craftsman tools, I have found that Sears cuts their prices by 50% or more over the holidays. Watch for their adds.

Since I am rebuilding my carb in hopes of stopping leaks and cleaning the intake, etc so that I can touch up some paint issues, I though maybe I should check the torque on the intakes and heads?

Looks like I will be spending some time in the man cave Saturday with it warming up, and I will be able to do some of the things to the vert that didn't get done before it got cold. Such as change the oil, put Sta-Bil in the tank and run it for awhile to get to the carb, swap rims/tires for the new 17" tires...

Hi Guys! Happy belated Thanksgiving to all! It was nice to see Roger a few weeks ago, and yes neither of us had looked at our front bumpers in six years. On the positive side, the bumpers still look great: not a scratch on them. Someone mentioned committing to getting the car done, but there are other...
