    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    So now this is how the front of the house looks, all Chevy and all considered old now. She loves the car and just wants to be set free to drive and drive. Now I have leverage to make sure she does well in the next terms of college. I did see that this car seems to run hot. Like at 240...

    Also, before we took it down she got to learn to change her own oil. The PO true to form, put the filter on as tight as possible. Awesome. Jacob was over so I had him get under there and assist with the removal of the filter. After that was all did down below, they put the new earl into the...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    New dashboard is in and complete! Just have to get some double sided tape so that we can reaffix the 25th Anniversary tag on the passenger side. Look at that complete dash area.... Speakers both have backing on them now with wiring and are fully screwed into place. Dash pad is on and the...

    Whelp. The story continues. Max and I were told to take Friday off last week to make for a nice long 4 day weekend. Max tried to clean up and protect the soldered in resistors that eliminate the need for the resistor key. He broke one of the legs off two days before we have appointment with the...

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    I have an 8.6 in the yard and it is the heaviest rear end I have had to move around. I know there are heavier units out there, but this is from a "small truck". It is from a 2001 S-10 and has disc brakes on it. I was going to use it under my '54 Bel Air, but the internets are telling me the...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I bought these Doyle wire cutters from Harbor Freight and they are excellent. They are sharp and cut through all the different wires that are on a vehicle. Off Amazon I purchased a couple sets of terminal pin tools and connectors. As soon as they arrived, Max pulled the pin extractor out and...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I used to read Vizard's books long ago. Always packed with good tidbits of information.

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    I recently used an old Honda hood for the same thing. Holds tarps down quite well.

    Any black two tone trucks out there?

    Flames. Those are what you need to spice up the look of the truck. Trust me, do eet.

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    Yup. They are pretty cheap to find good used ones out there. It will probably make you $5 in scrap value.

    1995 S10 est wire location?

    Gotta love when the engineers change something for the because of it every new model year. We have a '92 Camaro with some one year only crap on it. If I were to do it again, I would have told her to find an '89 to miss all the one off crap.

    TH 400 needed

    I do not. But I will as this sounds interesting. I was thinking of sending it to Nick for a full rebuild on mine. Max's fresh one may not need anything done to it to be able to run it as is.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I have been doing a bunch of reading as I knew we were not the only ones to have had this issue. On the thirdgen.org forum, I found a recent thread that told the same story as mine. It was told that it was the function of the VATS system. Junior went out at lunch and found that he had unplugged...

    Take the belt off and run it for a minute to see if the squeak goes away with that.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I spent 24 hours out in the driveway over the last 3 days. From the doors back the entire car has been reassembled and is ready to go. However, the dash install has not gone as well. Max dealt with the gauge cluster clean and rebuild on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the car won't run. First it...

    More of the swell lock set up. I used the sticker from my burger to deem it special... From the top all closed like... Here you can see it all closed up. I have trimmed out one of the rear trim panels to clear the parts that protrude to catch the Bose hatch lid. It closes right up and looks...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Throw it out, no. But it was cut at one point and I used a two foot part of one of the wires to the power Blaupunkt doo dad. Otherwise it is out there in the pile of radio wire stuff. Some times it is the small victories. PO awesomeness. Victory! Over the weekend I buttoned up the whole...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I just don't understand how somebody could be so ham-f!sted when working on stuff. Do they not have any pride in the work they are doing and just care about the end result sort of working? I forgot to mention that I found the previous owner on the 'gram. With a simple search I have found some...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    The fresh dash is being cleaned up now and soon we will get to putting it back into the car. It will be nice to stop taking things apart and to start simply just putting them together for the final time. We got let out of work early yesterday, so after a nice nap I got up and went out to...
