Trying to help someone out: Hi, Bryan. Can you help me find an original pair of door lock pillar (U-jamb) seals for '66-'67 Chevelle? I gotta assume it's not a 300 model.

Thinking of buying a set of used radials; but would like to be able to tell how old they are. Also is there any way to tell if the BG Goodrich radials are the cheap Silvertowns TA radials as apposed to the good TA radials?

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.

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...

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.

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
