Derek's disease for more cars has got me thinking. I started out wanting a turn key street rod but can't find any I like in my price range. My search has degenerated to rusty cars that need complete restos. I will have more funding coming in december. Should I wait for that and buy a done car, or get a decent...

I am having a real hard time with that question. I am looking for a 71-72 Chevelle. I am torn. Do I buy a project again? Fix it stock? Add power? Also do I really want a vert? Or hard top?

I believe on the '69 (non El Camino) cars that there is a fuel vent surge on top of the tank and you are supposed to use a non vented cap. Am I correct?

Yep it’s coming, what plans you have for your winter projects. I’m planning a LS engine install in the Buick, some light bodywork and a new top. Repaint will have to wait until 2014.

Not much for photos of members cars. But the lead photo does appear to be Rick and his 64 vert with the Car Craft hottie riding in the back.

One photo also has the cream colored 66 with the modified 6 liter in it that both Bryan and Chris know in what looks like the RSE braking test.

Looking on team chevelle there are conflicting posts on the correct color for the power steering pump. I thought it was semi gloss and most agree but some say gloss black. Opinions?

If anyone sees the Fall 2012 issue of that Chevelle magazine, could you post here where I can find it? I just got notified that my wagon is in there so I would like to grab a copy or two. Its probably just a rerun of the Car Craft feature, but still pretty cool.
