Shannan and I have the day off and are looking to take the Chevelle out this evening. Looking in the LineChaser looks like my two best options for something organized are Anoka American Legion from 4-8pm or The Lookout Bar and Grill in Maple Grove from 5-9. Has anyone ever attended either this summer? W...

I got everything installed on my fiances truck, rotors, bearings, pads, calipers. Got everything bled, pushed down the pedal and she asked if there was supposed to be something dripping from the truck.

The issue just showed up last Friday and Sunday. As you probably know I have a stock ignition and fuel set up in my 396. Friday night I went to Rochester and car ran fine. When I went to start the car to go home, it kind of didn't want to start, added some fuel at the first gas station, along the way when I pul...

Stan this takes your idea to a whole new level! I think I prefer yours price wise!

The 383 I dropped in runs hotter than the 350 I took out by a good 15-20 degrees. On a normal day without the AC running it stays pretty much at 185 to 190 degrees (185 degree stat). Now when I turn on the AC, it jumps up to 200 to 205 quickly and creeps beyond that if I'm stopped. I currently have a stock 3 core...

Can someone recommend one or two painters they've used in the past? My current painter has blown me off now for the 4th week in a row and my car is in the same condition it was 5 weeks ago.... I have to imagine that a small factor involved is that he owes me money. I only have a fender to touch up along with some...

I hadn't trolled CL lately for Chevelle parts, and had the urge last night. Scored a set of boxed lower control arms from some cool guys just down the road in Blaine. It was a Dad and his two sons that were pretty cool. They are into the street racing scene which I saw when they showed me their garage with...

I feel horrible for the two gentlemen that passed away, as it sounds like they were out for a test drive for a potential sale in a '70 El Camino locally that got into a terrible accident. Hopefully nobody in the club is impacted by this. The wrong way driver should have been taken off the road a long time ag...

Got a call yesterday at work and they said, 'Hey, that Slingshot reservation you have in Oct., do you want it this week?'. Since I'm off the rest of the week, of course I said YES! Got certified/checked out on it yesterday, and brought it home tonight. This little girl is FAST! I think the 0-60 is just o...

Well after dropping my Sirius XM for the silverado they offered me a new deal $5 of month to steam online. Skeptical but I bought the idea.

Can someone post Fred's info? I'm looking for estimates on getting a top installed on the Z28 vert, and have emailed Mark at Yellow Dog but haven't heard anything in over a week, so thought I'd check with Fred. Thanks

Been trolling now and then for a nice clean convertible whether it be a Mustang or GM product since Tina and I are back in the land of cool evenings and temperate weather compared to hot and sultry Kansas City, and found this one on CL this week. Picked it up today!

I've got a co-worker that is wondering about POR-15. He's got some stone chips on the wheel openings of his truck that have rust-bubbled and crawled to the "face" of the body.

Changing out the seat upholstery in the '62 Impala. Quite the fight to get it pulled to the back of the frame to hog ring down. I had to let it sit in the sun for 1/2 hour to get hot and stretch, but it looks pretty good. I couldn't get the piping perfectly straight, but maybe it will shrink some now and tighten...

Looking to install a Mini Split AC in the house. I want to buy units and supplies and do most of the installation.

It never occurred to me until today. 70 and earlier Chevelles have teeny tiny 5" headlights while us with 71/72s have big ol' 7" ones. I will avoid any allusions to adult humor (as you should too) and say only this: It never really was something I ever thought about. I guess I assumed that they all used th...

We are in town from ND this weekend. Back in the day we used to go to Univerusty / Misway area in St. Paul and watch the cars cruise by. I know that Porky's is gone but do they still cruise this area on Sat nights? Or somewhere else to watch cool cars zip around? We will be back for the back to the 50's show.

What type of bushings do y'all use in the differential ears and rear upper control arms? I've heard it's good to use rubber in the ears, and polyurethane in the upper control arms? The ones in my diff are shot, and while in the area, thought I'd replace the ones in the upper rear controls arms as well. I d...

Daughter Sammy is having some trouble with her ride. From the description she gives I think it's fuel related. Car may need (at least) a new filter, possibly an in-tank pump. We don't have the time or means to get it back to the 40 Watt for repairs. Anyone know of a good shop up there??
