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...

Started the car at work yesterday and the starter stayed engaged and kept cranking. I’m hoping I got the engine shut down before I did major damage to the flexplate.

I reached out to the GM Heritage Center in Canada for the docs on the '69 Malibu vert since the trim tag indicated it was built there and delivered to Salisbury Chev in NY, then had a window sticker put together.

Well the rear blinkers work, brake lights do not? Rear running lights do not work; but front head lights and running lights work. Haven't yet check the rear back-up lights.

I have rebuilt my Eaton 12 bolt. This is a Dana 10 bolt posi. It looks similar to the Eaton units except for the spring set up. Some experienced guy may have done a few Dana units or could figure out how to remove an re-install the springs.
