A co-worker and pal of mine needs a trans for her '03 Neon. I know it's outside our typical lines but she doesn't need to get jerked around or ripped off. I know you slushbox guys probably have a reliable and trustworthy shop locally- can you refer me to someone good for these late-model front drivers? I...

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

Neighbor has an 80s Chevy truck I did a bunch of work on earlier this year. Truck has not started for the past three weeks so I had to check it to see what was wrong since I worked on it last. Had spark and when hit with Ether fires up so it was a fuel issue, gauge shows a half tank so it must have gas right? Dump a ga...

I guys my dad has a 396 Big Block that we are thinking about selling. It is pretty stock motor. It has a carb and intake and runs great. Does anyone know what a good value would be on this. We pulled it out of our 68 chevelle. Thanks

This is a NOS 1/4 panel I had in storage. Looked pretty rough before stripping. Amazing what a good stripper can do. Chad saw the possibilities. Karl

The guys on ThirdGen.Org nailed it with this stuff! Start with a fresh paint job and keep changing every few years if you desire. This Camaro looks so bad a$$ done in this wrap I was shocked. Getting tired of the flat black scene untill I saw this car done. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/auto-de...

Way back in the 70's or early 80's does anyone remember a guy by the name of Donald Wooten? Drove a supposed green or Daytona yellow LS6 Chevelle (not sure which color it was at that time)... Doing a little research for Rick Nelson

I turn the key to the "on" or accessory position and I have no power. But when I turn further I can get it to turn over. Not sure what the issue is? This did have an HEI before so I don't think it's the fusible link. I did get a new alternator, but it is a two wire that should work with the external...

Hey Tim what is with the green car in your avatar? Do you now have a 2 headlight Chevelle of your own?

Dave Seitz · Dave Seitz

Yes as the title states save your brass if you shoot. I found a way to reuse 22LR brass even so If you do shoot save the brass whatever caliber you have we can work out some type of trade if I have the dies for it.

Didn't lose any trees, a few more large branches though (in addition to the ones from Thursday night). Power has been out nearly 12 hours / 8pm last night.

I guess I'm getting old... My Chevelle has 10+ year old Magnaflow mufflers and it's much louder than I like at idle and REALLY loud under throttle (now that I can hear it with the engine running good!). Even with stock exhaust manifolds it's just as loud as it was with headers which tells me the muffle...

Sitting here listen to the rain and thunder and you have to feel sorry for all of the MSRA participants and the fear of hail they must be going through. Looks like it is going to be a long weekend for them.
