Ok, I've been needled about being thrifty, frugal, or even downright cheap when it comes to building my hotrod, or in other projects. I'm somewhat famous for re-using or re-purposing stuff for other tasks. Well your jabs are now truly justified. There's no way I'm giving $75 worth of gas to the salvag...

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..

This is last winter Today. Frosty but little snow. I'm standing 35 ft from this tree. Last Spring when the flowering crabs were in bloom. Eastern Bluebird taking a bath in the back yard.

Currently, I have perfectly fine seats that were already recovered with new buns installed back in the late 90's. But I found a pretty slick looking set of custom covers for my 66 buckets. A company in CA called TMI makes a seat cover and seat bun that has a stock appearance with some added support and...

Being a self admitted CL surfer... I'm curious what key words others surf on a regular basis? I use 'garage' and am amazed at the different types of things that show up there. It's usually mechanically related, but sometimes other stuff pops in too that's interesting. Here's a cool one I just saw on a 7...

I'm looking at an '02 Ford Escape for my son, and I found one that has a 'damaged vehicle' title, not salvage, and I'm not sure what that's all about. The vehicle was in an accident, and the drivers rear frame corner was bent and has been repaired. He has the receipt and has been fully open about it. Anyb...

Well once again the kids have the Pinewood Derby and built their cars mostly on their own. In the past I had shown them how to do a trace layout on the wood block. With the other things they have learned in the past this year being laid up they had to do even more. Other then spray painting the main body "...

Or man cave, as it is. I've been cleaning and organizing my cave for the past few weeks a few hours at a time. I'm hosting a Camaro club tour here next month and it really was a sh!t hole after the last 2 winters of restoration work. Today I discovered the concrete floor extends all the way to the back wall......

Not to hijack JohnD's post about his son's accident, here's how it happened in my house when I was 16: Dad gets a call, I rolled my Jeep. Into a yard. Up the street. MY street. On flat ground. Without having a drink. (backstory: I went through a small mud hole and spun the tires when I got out-lost control...

For Christmas I got my 9 year old a electronic tuner for his guitar. It was bad enough listening to him practice and then out of tune even worse. So I picked a Snark tuner at a local music store for $22 and it clips on the headstock with an non marring clip. Two weeks ago Aaron said it just won't stay on and i...

I'd heard about the Auto Motorplex in Chanhassen, but missed this story on Kare11 that someone just sent me. Some Sat. morning I'm going to go for their coffee and cars, but I won't be taking the Chevelle as it will be very jealous of the cars and garages... There were very few 'classic' or 'muscle cars'...

I can't find my list of bell housing numbers that will accommodate an 11" clutch. I am making a list of things I'd like to do to my Camaro this winter and realized i used the bell housing i had in the Chevelle. I need another one and there are a couple alternatives to the expensive 621.

Back before Christmas, CPP sent me an email for 10% off anything they sold. I ordered a complete front disc conversion.

The underside of a domed 1972 hood. I am assuming that all the hoods were painted black. Do restoration suppliers have the correct paint available? The insulation that is on the hood, Was that a standard feature or an option? Is that material also available? Especially in kit form.
