Pinewood Derby Cars
(Preview)
Well once again the kids have the Pinewood Derby and built their cars mostly on their own. In the past I had shown them how to do a trace layout on the wood block. With the other things they have learned in the past this year being laid up they had to do even more. Other then spray painting the main body "...

Not to hijack JohnD's post about his son's accident, here's how it happened in my house when I was 16: Dad gets a call, I rolled my Jeep. Into a yard. Up the street. MY street. On flat ground.

A customer service thumbs up "non auto"
(Preview)
For Christmas I got my 9 year old a electronic tuner for his guitar. It was bad enough listening to him practice and then out of tune even worse. So I picked a Snark tuner at a local music store for $22 and it clips on the headstock with an non marring clip. Two weeks ago Aaron said it just won't stay on and i...

'Someday' Man Cave
(Preview)
I'd heard about the Auto Motorplex in Chanhassen, but missed this story on Kare11 that someone just sent me. Some Sat. morning I'm going to go for their coffee and cars, but I won't be taking the Chevelle as it will be very jealous of the cars and garages... There were very few 'classic' or 'muscle cars'...

Best email money scams

I've got the email to NCC's "Webmaster" set pretty loose, as to not bounce offers and inquiries from legitimate automotive-oriented sources. The down side to this is I get a LOT of junk email to filter through daily... Everything from Rolex knockoffs through enough "Viagra" to support a battall...

Questions for the purists?
(Preview)
The underside of a domed 1972 hood. I am assuming that all the hoods were painted black. Do restoration suppliers have the correct paint available? The insulation that is on the hood, Was that a standard feature or an option? Is that material also available? Especially in kit form.

This guy took a trip to Havana and took lots of pics on his trip. Most are GM 4 doors. Many repowered with chinese and russian tractor part...
