Thinking of upgrading the rear wheels to 15X8, Any opinion of Wheel Vintiques quality?

Jon H · Jon H

I am currently running 275 x 60 x 15 rear tires on 7 x 15 wheels. As you can see on the attached photo the rear sidewalls really have to roll in to meet the wheels. I am looking for a more straight look as on the front tires/wheels. Will an 8" wheel get me to where I want to be? Does anyone have a photo o...

Hey Frank, give me a call on my cell or PM me. I'd like to return your engine stand. I tried the cell # you gave me, and it doesn't appear to be active. I probably entered it wrong. Thanks, Stan

Drove by the local gas station in Rosemount, and gas was $4.16/gallon!!! Did I miss us going to war, a major hurricane in the gulf, or North Korea launching something?

Metro Moulded Parts (based right here in Coon Rapids MN!) is in need of a pair of original door jamb mouldings that go between the door jamb and 1/4 glass for the 66/67 Chevelles. They have to be originals and they need both sides. Can anyone help? Contact me for details.

The trim rings I have are dinged up with curb rash here and there and the center caps have faded bowties and a few dings. Any recommendation on which aftermarket center caps and trim rings to buy? I'm more interested in the quality of the parts versus being exact replicas of the originals.

I have the carb off due to some issues with fuel. Just wondering if it is advisable to replace the bonze fuel filter or is is just as easy to clean it?

Lots of opinions on this out there, but I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an exhaust system, and not sure which way to go. There is about a $50 difference in price between the two. My understanding is that the H Pipe improves low end torque by balancing exhaust pulses, but not sure how much seat of t...
