Wanting to address my wire harness issues in my 74 and am looking for opinions of if I should instill a painless harness or rebuild the one I have. It was butchered years ago when I bought it and my modifications haven't helped. The fuse block is broken and hangs loose and the car has many...

Ok so here we go. My year has finally started to calm down after my last year of moving and having our second kid. Now the last several months I find my doing more and more side work out of my shop:crap:. Now I need a name for my shop and would like something more creative than Davis Auto or...

Well Thursday the 13th we had our second kid. Adelyn came into the world at 8lb 10oz and was 21in long. So needless to say I have been busy playing baby since then.

After our move earlier this year I am finally in the process of building a new hobby shop and thought I would show it off as its being built and get some suggestions in the process. It is going to be a 45'x56'x16' with three overhead doors on one of the 45' ends. Well it is getting framed for...

Thought I would check in since I haven't been on here much this year. I have been so busy since mid Dec that I haven't had time to get on any forums or work on my Vette. To start things off in Dec I tore my truck down for a paint job, rust repair, and color change. Then in mid Dec we closed on a...

The clutches in my rearend are giving it up, so I am thinking about pulling the diff and fixing it. That means that I might as well regear while I am at it.:nuts: When I did my T5 swap I was originally planning on changing to 3.73 down the road, but a friend started to second guess my decision...

Look what followed me home! Its a 1999 LS1 out of a Camaro. It was pulled out because it has a rod knock. I was able to get the engine with all accessories, harness and computer for $500. I will be doing a tear down on it in the very near future to find out exactly what is wrong, but as of right...

I had a hood laying around off my 73 parts car that has some damage to it so, I thought I would attempt to graft on an L88 scoop to it. The scoop is from Speedway motors and I know it is to short. My plan is to cut it in half fiberglass the two half's onto the hood then fiberglass the missing...

The other day I had the pleasure of installing aluminum lug nuts on a customers car at work. Up till then I had never seen a set before, so that got me wondering just how safe are they? I understand the benefits of reducing unsprung weight, but fear loosing a wheel. Does anyone have any...

Just found this on Speedways website. It is an aluminum 1 inch bore version of the M/C that came on our cars. With a price of $100 I might have to put one on my car since my reman M/C I bought last year is leaking again.:bomb: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Aluminum-Master-Cylinder,8905.html

After several years of me complaining about winter and Illinois in general my wife has agreed to move! She said she would settle on Tennessee, while that’s not quite as warm as I was hoping for it is by far an improvement! So far the plan is to move sometime between summer and fall of 2011. Now...

Does anyone else have trouble with there sidepipes moving on them? I have everything tight, but the keep wanting to tip up causing them to rub on the bottom of the doors.
