Everyone knows that no matter how carefully you wax the car, you WILL get a stripe or bump of wax onto the black textured trim, or the window rubber... and it seems that NOTHING will get this off of, or dissolve it. Then on top of the wax crud, the black plastic trim gets "gray" or oxidized and doesn't look...

I was contacted by someone looking for their old '71 black Chevelle. If you have any knowledge or know how to help him locate it, let me know and I'll contact him. Let's see if we can help out a fellow Chevelle guy (he also owns a '70 Chevelle convertible) Thanks. Here's what he emailed me: Stan, I am lo...

I was talking to an acquaintance and was telling him my plans for the Chevelle. I had mentioned that I was planning on replacing my solid cam with a hydraulic one. He drag races and mentioned that his engine builder told him that a solid cam would produce up to 30% more HP than a smililar spec hydrau...

A few years back I had an impala radio for a 66 and a chevelle radio for a 66 that was no good. My son in-law took the impala radio and replaced the push button mechanism and tuning shaft with the corresponding parts from the chevelle radio. Then he transferred the face plate of the chevelle radio to the...

Okay guys- I need some local knowledge here. I plan on installing my Tri-Y headers and I want to have them tied in to my existing exhaust system. This isn't a huge deal, but I want it done right, once, so I don't have to think about it again. I have a lot of good connections in the area but I've yet to find a re...

Aren't most of the El Camino parts (except the body ones of course) interchangeable with the chevelles of the same years? Things like rear ends, dashes, steering columns, etc.

Just saw the new Transformers movie with my son. They had a 69 Chevelle SS in the movie? It was the same color as Jon H's convertible, but a coupe with black vinyl top. Don't know that I have seen a 69 in a movie before? Great movie, non stop action. The Megan Fox replacement was very nice, if I don't say....

It sure is quiet on here for ANOTHER rain day. What's everybody doing ? I would think Back to the 50's was a wash today.

Happy Father's Day (And to the Dad's that are no longer with us-You are in our thoughts today)!!! Going to my sister-in-law's for a BBQ this afternoon. Somehow I think I'll end up doing the grilling.... but that's o.k., it's good to still be needed.
