    Productive day in the garage

    i have a 2005 Nissan Titan that has been in desperate need of a brake upgrade. The early Titans suffered from undersized rotors and calipers. I read where I could upgrade to newer larger brakes that began being used in the 08 Armadas. I got all the part numbers I needed and started ordering back...

    Cleaning out the garage

    Sold another old friend today. My old 2 stage Sanborn compressor just wouldn’t fit in to my new home for multiple reasons plus the time and energy in moving it 200 miles. It was a real winner though, almost 30 years old and zero issues. It sat silent in the corner for weeks on end but always...

    Goodbye Square

    Had to make a decision about thinning the herd and the square lost out this time. It would have been a good one to keep but I would have needed to dump more and more money into it. I need to focus on my Chevelle and my Impala for now.

    Fast Mustangs?

    Ok, I know its a tv show but did any of you watch Street Outlaws this week, the daily driver episode? Half the field were Mustangs all sporting power adders and there were other muscle cars and a few Corvettes. One C5 Z06 Corvette was a big cube twin turbo supposedly in the 800 hp range. The...

    New garage

    Well I signed a contract on a house 200 miles from where I have lived for the past 36 years. I’m leaving a 20 acre mini farm with a 30x40 detached garage for a home with 1 1/2 acre lot. Moving to be close to our grandkids which we have been daycare providers since they were born 2 years ago. Not...

    Brian Tooley Racing

    Spent the day at BTR in Bardstown, Ky. They had a customer appreciation day it was quite a party. Free food, free drinks, lots of hot cars. Got to see a new Corvette ZR1, Brian’s new car, still had the temporary tags. Some early trucks, but not one square! This truck had a very neat ls...

    SOB’s Trailer Thieves !!!

    Tried to steal my trailer this morning. Drove right up in my driveway, hooked up and took off. Dumb assholes left the pin out of their hitch (why???) and the trailer jack hit the drive way pulling their hitch out of their receiver and the trailer went tongue first into a dirt bank across the...

    Vacuum leak

    for the last two years the square has sat a lot. It has never been a good smooth running truck since I’ve had it, going on 8 years now, but I haven’t invested much time in it either. Recently I’ve have the need to use it a little and the first thing was to get the dragging front brakes repaired...

    1/2 done

    Putting new calipers, hoses, and pads on my 85. Got the passenger side on this afternoon and must say that hose was a b*t#h. For anyone who hasn’t tackled this in a while, the hose is held to the frame by a 15/16th nut on the inside of the frame. Of course this is only important after you have...

    Too many? I have one or two other options

    Blessing or curse? I have a lot of vehicles I am emotionally tied to that most normal people could care less about. There are a lot of other priorities in life that come before the vehicles but I still hang on too them like they are gold. My Chevelle is the car I’ve had the longest and needs the...

    RPO J55

    My 85 C10 has the above “heavy duty brakes”. What I’m wondering is, how do these differ parts wise? My front calipers are dragging and I’m going to replace them and the hoses.

    Forum problems

    Do any of you frequent the Chevelle tech forum? I use Chevelle tech, ls1tech, and the Corvette forum almost daily. For the last few days I can’t even get logged on to any of these without the below pop-up showing up and locking the screen. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I’m...

    Well crap! Wife in a Car Accident.

    2 hours ago this car was virtually like new. Wife is fine, airbags didn’t even deploy. Drove the car home but the drivers door is just barely rubbing on the back edge of the fender. I can only imagine what the estimate will be as this car has a lot of sensors in the grill, emergency stopping...

    67 Chevelle ls conversion

    I’m going to pick up a Corvette 5.7 ls1 tomorrow. It does not have any of the front end accessory drive with it. Any of you have any experience with this swap and what would be the best drive system to go with? It’s in the early planning stage now but I think I will be using Holley/Hooker for...

    Short Notice

    Holley LS Fest this weekend in Bowling Green Kentucky. A great weekend of drag racing, autocross, swap meet, car and truck show. Anything goes but it must have a LS series engine. I'll be there Saturday for sure.

    A little upgrade for my other Chevy.

    Had my 99 Corvette hardtop for 3 years now and had resisted the urge to tinker with it much. The all black interior was a little boring so last spirng I snatched up some replacement pieces to brighten things up a bit. Took these out..... And replaced them with these Along with...

    Speedometer cable

    I have a squeaking speedometer cable that I have tried to quieten down with a lube I got at the auto parts store. It got rid of the squeak but then the needle would bounce up and down until you got to about 55 mph and it would smooth out. After about a month the squeak is back! Now my question...

    Ever have an itch you just had to scratch?

    Been looking for one of these with the right miles and equipment for over a year. Pulled the trigger on this one last week. Flew out to Oklahoma City to pick it up and the 700 mile trip back was great( got out of there before the storms ) and averaged 28 miles per gallon. Double overdrive 6...
