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??

For some reason when I access the main page for the forum everything is OK. And when I go to an area like projects, thats fine. But when I click on a topic, if its more than a short sentence, I have to move the window to view all the writing. Is site is the only place this happens.

Now that we're on a mini-acreage (just under 1 acre), I'm looking to buy a utility trailer to haul landscaping materials and the garden tractor or motorcycle locally if needed. Anyone have any recommendations on size/type? Budget = $1000 or less (Maybe I'm low?) 1500-2000 pound load capacity I'v...

So we had our air ducts cleaned in the house yesterday, which was badly needed but may have not been a good idea. I think it pushed the blower fan motor over the edge, as now it's running but with very low air output, and when the burners fire it shuts off after about a minute and the pre-exhaust fan stays on...

We were able to stop on our trip tp Phoenix, not a lot of cars from the 60’s, probably around 100. Mostly cars from the early 1900’s; but 40’s, 50’s, and 50’s represented. I am including a few photo’s.
