I recently learned of a product I had never used although I guess it has been on the market for several years. Many of us use clay bars but I now learn there is a clay "towel". The towel is impregnated with the clay and comes in different grits which are somewhat more or less aggressive and the price reflect...

Gary is one of those guys in the club you recognize but isn't really a "forum guy" or into the whole social media thing so the name may not ring a bell. He makes it to about 80% of the meetings every year so he is a familiar face. He is also Daves cousin. Anyways, I was informed that his mom passed away Tuesday e...

Haven't seen any Mitch posts lately. Is he MIA? Or Mitch, are you busy getting that '66 over to a paint shop?

Several years ago my Mom was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. It is a progressive disease of the lungs, and there is no cure. Those with it have between 3 to 5 years. The treatment is basically oxygen therapy until your lungs can no longer function, then... "Nana Ruth" has been on oxygen for 3+ years n...

A friend of mine is installing a new carb on his car and bought an Edelbrock fuel filter. He opened it up to inspect and it appears the chrome/coating is flaking off inside because the filter already has debris in it. He was wondering if there is something that people have had good luck with? All I have is t...

I have a Cooling Components 2 speed fan on my '38 and it never seemed to move enough air, even though I have it wired for high speed only through the Dakota controller. Purely by accident and curiosity last week, I discovered I need BOTH the low and high wires on the fan routed together to get high speed. No...

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...

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 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.
