I have done some reading over at team chevelle with mixed reviews. I am wondering if anyone here knows someone running one of the Richmond 5 speeds that has the 1:1 5th gear.

On my I-phone, I can get an app called "5-0 Radio". You can select your city/area and listen in on the radio traffic. Today I listened to it on the way home about a man with a long gun in someone's backyard. After @ 20 minutes they took one into custody. Unfortunately, this isn't the old version...

If you are buffing a piece of chrome using a bench buffer with a seven inch diameter cloth pad turning at 3500 RPM and the chrome part gets snagged by the wheel. Approximately how fast in MPH will the part be traveling when it finally gets ejected or launched from the buffer? It should be noted that the be...

Derek last Spring, I had you make a spring rate recommendation for me on some Tru-Coil rear springs I bought from Speedway Motors. I'm finally going to get to install them now that I have the axle out. One question though... I'm concerned about the spring mount opening being too large compared to the s...

Quite the interesting day. Here it is coming out of the yard and onto my trailer. On the way back, I dropped down to Waverly to get a rear door that was on craigslist.

Wrapping up some loose ends and paperwork today ... Then I have some time off next week. anyone want to help me with a front end alignment on the Chevelle?

It's a salvage car from Copart. Their fees are a bit nuts. With sales tax, transfer and plate fees added to their "buyer fee" and gate fee and internet bidding fee, I ended up paying another $1,000. I have both doors and the rear axle lined up and should get them on Wednesday. Big thanks to Bry...

I know where a 69 real SS with numbers matching 396 is that is for sale. The paint is good probably 7 - 8 on a scale of 1 - 10. The engine has 5500 miles on a good professional rebuild, interior probably about a 6 -7 tires and chrome are good. 4 speed with build sheet. No rust or dents. Runs drives pretty much ju...

This is one nasty little LS in a '69 Chevelle. It's basically a stock 5.3 litre with twin turbos. He's just getting it going, so pretty quick and short videos, but it gives me chills what these little engines can do!

While running around snagging parts today Angie and I stopped by Route 65 Classics, in Ham Lake and checked out the cars.

Aftermarket parts. We get these parts from varied sources...

All this unusually warm weather is making me long for Spring and bringing the '52 home and getting the cars out again. Working full time this winter hasn't left me any time for my own restoration work, but they are all still together and drivable too..
