As subject says I'm looking for some advice on purchasing a '67 Chevelle, but first a little background info. I'm in my later 30s with father about to hit 6-0. His first car was a '67 that he bought the day he got his license late '68. Started as 3 on the tree, converted to a 396, 4 on the floor with a mys...

Last year I bought a new lift from Harbor Freight for my motorcycle. I don't have the greatest faith in a lot of products from them but I thought I would try this one. From the pictures you can see that it is a hydraulic lift with what I will call a three sided "fork" to actually lift the bike. The...

Our trusty '01 Taurus wagon has gone on to higher education with John Jr. - leaving Sheryl without wheels. Enter Labor Day weekend and car shopping.

I bought parts from a Holley carb from a gal that lives on Laige Ave, Lakeville. I wonder if anyone lives close that could stop by and pick up the pieces.

Birthdays are still a big deal for two year olds. Turns out she’s a real motor head, loves cars and tractors. Within minutes she found and tried every knob, lever, switch, crank and button in the car. The single most captivating thing was the window crank and how it made the window go up and down.

I've been working on the Model T all week, fixing a bunch of nagging little issues with it... project creep set in a bit, and now it has a high-compression aluminum head on it. Bumped it all the way up to 5.5:1

I stumbled across this rear end yesterday when I went to a guys house to look at a posi unit. It is just a bare housing with caps. He shot me a price of $600 but I am thinking more like $400. What do you guys think is a fair price for it?

Well figured out my ignition issue that wouldn't allow me to go past 4000 RPM. Turned out to be major signs of carbon tracking inside the distributor cap. Changed out the distributor to a MSD Streetfire, and runs good now. So then I moved on to trying to get the shift points dialed in on my 200-4R. I had...

On the way to Powercruise this year I rolled 10,000 miles on "Blackie" since I bought him in October of 2008! Added 621 miles this weekend (on 26 gallons of gas BTW - that's nearly 24 mpg including over a dozen laps on BIR guys!!) I think 10k miles on a car driven about 40 days a year is pretty
