Going to tear into the front end of the '71 this weekend to install the disc brake conversion and lower springs, so I looked at the control arm bushings on the car and they are all shot. Thoughts on a reasonably priced set of upper and lower front control arms with a budget of $500 or less as opposed to rebui...

When I put the ceiling in the shop this summer, I replaced the cfl bulbs with LED and thought it was a LOT brighter in there. Working on the Camaro the past 6 weeks, I realize it is still FAR short of what I would like. I bought 2 4ft and 3 8 ft LED strip lights on sale at Menard's a couple weeks ago and just got the...

Swiped this off the internet... Story is it was the '55 Lincoln "Futura" concept/show car. Barris bought it for a Dollar. ($1). Turned into the Batmobile for the TV show.

Back in MN as of last night. Mayo called and had me coming in this morning. Maybe we will have a better idea of what is causing the issues. Did two scans in a row. Thats a long time in the tube at one time.

Since it's Jan. 3rd and 34 degrees and I just completed a water pump swap on the Trans Am, thought I'd warm 'em both up!

To like the 4 headlight 69 convertible, and while it's a nice driver car...it wasn't a '71 with 2 headlights and 4 nice round tail lights. So, after I went through the journey with the '71 roller in Iowa last weekend, I asked Chris S. which dealer Jenny's 442 came from and when I looked at their on-line i...

I missed the meeting on Saturday because I was making a deal on this thing... Seller was very honest & up front & I was able to see all the issues. Floor pans are decent, not ideal, some patching in the typical spots but does not need floor pans or braces. Its definitely a 20 footer but none of the pa...

Big kudo's to Jenny for putting this together!

We had several members attend, got Club business taken care of, then played two rounds of "Outburst" - boys vs. girls. (It was a tie). Lotsa Fun!

For the last couple of years Tami has been running either a garden hose or carrying 5 gallon buckets of water out to the barn to fill up her horse tank. After talking with our neighbors who had installed a sandpoint well, we decided to give one a shot ourselves. When we built the pole barn, we had water comi...

Maybe its just my computer, the link for private messages sent out when you have one does not work for me. I have to go on line to my bookmarks. Link does not take me to messages. Is there a reason for this or is it just my iMac

If all goes according to plan, and with the nice weather predicted for the weekend, we're going to take 2 cars down for some drag racing at Cedar Falls. Jenna is running her G8 (her first time ever drag racing), and I'll be running my Chevelle. Anyone else interested in going?

Contemplating taking the ‘68 out for one last cruise. It’s supposed to be 70 again today. Got the Christmas lights up yesterday. Hopefully errands and other stuff doesn’t get in the way.

Rachael and I went for a ride yesterday just in case it was the last opportunity of the year. Made sure I had my tools, spare tire, etc just in case. A couple of miles out of town car started missing, so I turned around to head home. Car stoped, no juice to turn over or for lights. Popped the hood, things lo...

All, Now that it is over, I thought I would let the cat out of the bag. Had a mishap in April, that embodies the 2020 year we have all been having. Upgraded some control arms and brakes on the 69 and took for test drive. Combination of not being aligned yet, loose sand, etc. I ended up in the ditch. 6 month...
