The attached photos are of a buddy of mine's FFR Roadster. The car was done from raw gelcoat/glass to final buff & delivery by the same guy... the same guy who did my car. He is recognized in the FFR community as "one of the best guys to do your car", and has literally 100's of 'em under his belt. He's no n...

Made it home from Rock Falls last Sat. Quit about 6 times all at low speed. Quit about 10 times taking Rachel to dinner. Again at low speeds. Ideas??? I think it may be electrical.

I rented a Shelby GT-H for a day this Vegas trip. Hot Damn, what a car. My friend Dante and I had a blast. Not really built for us bigger built guys, but fun nonetheless. Took it out to Hoover Dam last night at sunset and out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway today. Fun car. Don’t worry, there are no plans to s...

First & Foremost I would like to thank everyone who came out and helped assemble the new lift! Many hands (and good backs) made short work of an awkward/heavy/potentially dangerous job! Second, a big thank you to everyone for pulling together an impromptu "surprise" birthday party for Sheryl....

I finally got around to putting some paint on the floor of the attic above my shop. in the winter a little bit of snow gets through the vents and on the floor. Not quite a "Treasure Chest addition" or "New 40 Watt" but it was good to finally get to this.

Next step is to sort through things while the...

Hi everyone, I've not been on the forum for a while as I got a new phone and lost my password. Unfortunately, Steven wasn't able to reset my password (Not for lack of trying...), so I created a new user name as SShink2. So a 'New Old Guy'. Kind of taking a break from the club with other things going on, bu...

I am looking at AC for the 67 Chevelle project. I know a number of you have added AC to you cars, and looking for the pros and cons you experienced with the setups you used. They both seem pretty similar, but I am guessing there are some subtle differences that make them easier or a nicer setup. Thank you i...

I wonder if anyone is the club has one? Would be nice if the club owned one. I am trying to determine if Chevrolet made an engine cable lift kit.

Well Mitch got my AC up and working. On the way home every so often, about 15 seconds, there was kind of a screeching noise for about 1-2 seconds.I thought it was coming from the compressor, but who knows.

Periodically the question comes up regarding when and where we can drive our cars plated with Minnesota collector plates. Every few years I have posted the current law. Attached is Minnesota statute 168.10 sub 1c. I am not a lawyer but was told by DMV that as long as you have a car with regular plates as a...
