I picked up a floor scrubber buffer but it has no pads. Anyone in the club have pads so I can test it out? After open to the club members to use to scrub polish and wax their wives kitchen floors. Or if you desire scrub the garage / shop floor so you can show it off. -- Edited by Dave Seitz on Friday 10th of July...

I had a deal with Cheryl that once the car was done we would update the front Garage. We wrapped it up this weekend. Had the floor redone by a guy who had a booth at Hastings the past few years. And yes, it still has a small leak, much smaller than earlier this year. Cardboard will have to do until winter. -- E...

Anyone with experience with this? Had been working. Any suggestion? Thanks

What to do? I see some expensive products online. Do they work? What do you convertible owners recommend for cleaning and restoring the top. Thanks

Looks like the world has gone nuts up there in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area and into surrounding suburbs. Please stay safe, friends... if anyone is too close to the action for comfort and needs to bug-out over the weekend, let us know if we can help.

I saw this ad on-line for a numbers matching '70 SS with a 396 and figured it's 'too good to be true' FOR $18,500 but thought I'd reach out anyway. LINK TO AD Gotta love the response

I had concrete floor put in the back half of the new shed for the lifts and camper to sit on last Thursday. Today was move in day. Man, it was nice to have that floor to roll the lifts around on, rather than fighting with soft gravel.

Not sure if this is unique to the 66 or not. But I think the boot I got with the convert last fall is missing something. Looks like there should be something that slides into a metal rail on the top of the back seat. And that it should have some way to attach it to a valcro strip that is sowed into the front...

Need to put insurance on the Chevelle so I can drive it this year. Not sure what to put on it for value? Not sure if the insurance company will want it appraised? That will be funny when they look at it and probably go really. But please chime in on what kind of number you think.

Making new plug wires for the 442, so wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks on how to get the wire through a 90 degree boot easily before crimping on the connector? I've tried WD40, silicone, etc. and it's still difficult.

Lost in the 60s · Lost in the 60s

I bought this car about 4-5 years ago and had it stored at John T's place. He needed the room and with the new shed, I'm SUPPOSED to have room for all my "stuff", so it came home today.
