If I had one, I would. Was hoping to find something quick. If anyone has any junk ones, I’m interested.

Looking for door hinge springs, but coming up empty. I was originally going to replace the hinges on my GP but after further inspection, the drivers side are good, and passenger side might be good still. Unfortunately the drivers side is missing the spring. Does anyone have a source for...

Got rid of the POS 62 Vette that’s been tying up my garage today, and I was able to get a real car inside. I decided to break out my amazon glue pulling kit to mess with the dent in the drivers door. I managed to get it about 75% to where I want it and decided to call it a night. I really need...

62 Vette body is ready to be picked up. Still have to polish the doors, and paint a few more pieces. Waiting on some green to continue, so I played with the car a little. Hood hinges back where they belong, and a little bit of wiring taken care of, but still a lot to do. I have been driving it...

Yesterday I had a little time so I threw the fan on, zip tied and loose wires, and put the fan shroud on. Decided to take it for a spin. Went a little further than normal, but had to get home to take my son to cub scouts. A little later on we took the car out and ran it for about 25 minutes...

Over there, over here not so different depending on where you live now.

I’ve had good luck with DuPont over the years. Stuff lasts. I used it on some stuff on my boat and it held up great out in the sun.

Not all paint companies can mix up vinyl paint. I work for a company that sells BASF products, and unfortunately, we don’t mix vinyl dye Axalta is a company that does. So if you can find a store that sells that, they might be better help.

I paid $300 for a 350 vortec engine, with accessories about 3 years ago. That one has a provision for a fuel pump pushrod. Ran ok but I pulled it apart, and life got in the way. But for an engine with 170k on it, it had very little wear. Must be due to the fuel injection. I also grabbed another...

After a long weekend of getting the 62 vette painted, I went up into the attic to grab the lower moldings from the car. I also had a few stored in the trunk. When I opened it I was surprised to see the trunk light working. I guess my trips around the block are working her back in slowly. I...

Picked this shifter up today. It’s from a sixties GTO supposedly. I think it will be a nice addition to this car. Especially since the original shifter was for 200-4r and I have a TH350 in it now. Too bad it doesn’t have the bend like the one from my 79 H/O.

Took a break from block sanding the vette today to put all 4 formula wheels on. Can’t wait to finish the vette so I can put the springs on this car, and button up the loose ends that prevent me from driving it.

I did my booster with the kit years ago, and it looked great. I went to put their clear over it and it lifted to crap. Said screw it, and painted it silver after that.

Funny you say that, I kept almost every issue until like 2012 or so. Then when I was getting resto sell my house, I tossed them in the trash. I really wish I hadn’t done that. My memory of hot rod came in handy on a job interview. I walked into a shop and I saw a big picture of a feature...

I had a subscription to HRM from 1985, when I was 5, until 2018 or so. I used to read those issues cover to cover multiple times, especially the yearly paint and body specials. Hell I kept almost every issue until I moved. These days I can’t remember the last time I actually picked up a magazine...

I have an aluminum rad, with plastic tanks in my Malibu. The first one was good until I left a tool on the shroud, and the fan kicked it into fins. Second one has been in for 4 years now. I also have one in my GP. I got that one used, but it was in a Malibu that was pushing 700 hp. It worked...

The whole dash is apart, I had to remove a dealer installed alarm. Console is out as well. Steering column is loose. Front tires are old trailer tire. Front windshield is cracked across. And the drivers side window is half tinted, half removed. Sketchy as hell right now. It was a small block in...

I had to move the car today, so I can get the vette out tomorrow. My son heard it start and ran out, he wanted to go for a ride. I figured what the hell, I’ve taken it around the block without issue, so I let him hop in. Right away he wanted to go further and is already asking if we can take it...

I just sold a Jeep with a rotten frame. Posted pics of the rot, and all I got were requests for more rot pics. Had to change the ad that if you asked about rot pics, I would block them. First guy came and wanted to buy it for is daughter, I had to push him away. Second guy wanted it but wouldn’t...

Had a little time today, after swapping star caliper out on my wife’s car, so I decided to mess with the car. I ran it and watched the top of where the dipstick went into the block, and oil was coming out from where the dipstick entered the block after about 5 minutes of running. I decided to...
