1966 chevelle

Dan Williams · Dan Williams

Had plans to get the 71 apart this winter, but since some nice person decided to key the 65 a month ago or so, it is now blown apart. Needed paint anyway in the next 5 years or so. Plan is to not go farther than the removing the front clip and re-paint, the snow ball is picking up speed. Ordered door panels and n...

Picked this up at Menards, Has several common sizes below ½” Both standard and metric. Saves grabbing the tap and die set to check thread size. For years I’ve been tempted to steal the one at the end of the isle in the hardware store.

Makes one think about installing a loop. 67 chevelle snaps a joint.

Has anyone had any experience with either buying or installing a backup alarm in a pickup? If so, could you comment on your experiences? Thanks

Finally ending the week in Europe for business, so thought I'd bring you guys some culture.

I'm here for business this week, and on my last night (It's 11:35 P.M. EU time when posting this) before I return to the great white north. It's been in the 50's here in southern France, so man it fee...

My bride and I went to St Augustine FL for 5 days to escape from the cold. It wasn't their usual weather either but 70's is a LOT better than 0. We visited downtown and most of the little shops in the centuries old buildings. Most of the town is on the National Historical Registry dating back into the 1700's...

I need 50-75 license plates for someone who's helping with the Cruise for Troops. Any state is OK, any condition is fine. Please let me know ASAP, they're going to someone else who's making a silent auction item, so they need time to make it.

I have a 2010 Tahoe with 67,000 miles on it. I am trying to figure if I should drop the pan, change the fluid that comes out and change the filter OR do a flush. I have read to flush between 50-75,000 but only change the filter and fluid that drains at 100,000+. The theory is that flushing a high mile trann...

Ok it’ colder than a Witch’s you know what this winter, so here’s the question, will an automatic transmission warm up faster in Neutral than it will in Park? Do the pumps do something in Neutral that they don’t do in Park? Did we used to check the fluid level with the transmission in Neutral because the...

As part of a planned upgrade we will be removing an oil burning furnace and replacing it with a natural gas unit. I’m looking at 75,000 BTU dual stage burner with a variable speed blower and a 2.5 ton AC unit with the highest available SEER rating. Any guesstimate on an installed price?

I went to a car show in Tubac, Az. today. On the Tubac golf course nestle in a mountain range. Sorry but it was sunny and 73*. About 500 or so cars. Never would have thought there were so many vintage cars in the desert. A real mix of foreign and American. I have never seen so many Porsches in one place bef...

We are looking to change internet service and we are strongly considering Xfinity. We currently use the phone company, Quest as the used to be called but now I guess they call themselves Centurylink.

I'm looking to get a transmission input shaft turned down to a smaller diameter. It can't be turned down on a lathe because it's hardened. I've checked with a couple of shops here in Mankato and neither said they could do it and that I needed to find a shop that had a radial grinder. I also check with one in O...
