Oh come on now, who doesn't love $500 belt moldings? Oh wait, they're NLA. Yeah, we have a customer who has one. It;s his wife's "dream car". I told him she should have better dreams.

Also spotted, but not able to photo...survivor 69 Camaro with a healthy sounding small block beside me in traffic, first Gen Bronco across intersection and the sam 'ol black 71 Chevelle owned by a coworker

I have in the past seen the trunk filler panel have the screw holes cracked and or rusted out at the back edge. That would allow it to rattle. The banging noise in mine is because when they bent up the tail pipes and installed them they were installed too far back and under a lot of compression...

An important note the width of the tire has nothing to do with the tread width. The 245 or 255 is the cross-section width of the tire casing on a specified wheel width. I believe an earlier poster pointed this out but people continue to talk about tread width. Different tires will have different...

GM just did not keep track of things like that.

The problem is that at this point nobody really knows what’s on any of these cars unless they bought it new. My 81 coupe had the wrong year master and booster on it which I discovered when I tried to replace one of them. Wound up replacing both. My 81 wagon has SAE studs in the front rotors and...

I was 6, so no real idea, BUT I can tell you that my father that worked in broadcast radio could not, We moved across the state in '67 when he took a job with the state because it paid much better. But, with 2 kids it was a LONG time before parents bought new again. When he was single, he bought...

New cars then were not something many people could afford. Today, it;s almost considered a neccessity. Our standard of living is much higher than it was then. Note: I did NOT say quality of life

My youngest still talks about the year I drove her to school every day in this wagon, and wants to know when it;s going to be back on the road

Here's one we drove to Mt Scott here in Okla, and to Dallas. We have been both places MANY times, but I can remember those trips to this day, because it was a great time, in a fun car...vs trips in the newer stuff

If you're driving old cars for other people's admiration, you're into it for the wrong reasons. I drive them because I LOVE them, and they are a reminder of good times gone by, and yet to come

I do mine on the bench because the LEDs are polarity sensitive. Would suck to replace them and button everything up only to discover some were "backwards"

But they never do

After reading waaaay too much on this (hey, I'm easily amused) I would agree, especially after reading some posts by people that claim to have worked in the foundry

Nutin' special, just a nice night for a drive and a bath

I'm not taking either side, but there is a lot of "discussion" about nickle content and how it;s identified in various threads all over the net. The number usually tossed around is nowhere near 5%. To me, I don't really care. I worry more about why everybody goes to .030 when there are other...

Sold my TH350 for $150 as a core and sent the 267 with it...guy said he was robbing me of $20 for the iron. I told him I was giving him $20 worth of scrap iron for doing me the favor of not having to haul it myself

Are you sure there's no sag at the hinges? Because strikers don't really move unless messed with. Open door fully. try to pick up door at the back end. If it moves at all (up/down) you've got pin /bushing problems These doors are HEAVY and hard on pins/bushings, especially since the general...

I won't live that long, too may irons in the fire to get another one in....plus not driving that far for a project...anymore

Sold!
