    How slow is your daily driver?

    Fast compared to a Yugo, lol. Really a ridiculous comparison. The 305 Camaros ran good and I don't think they fell apart any worse than other cars from the era. My friends had several of them back in the day. I thought they were good cars and pretty fast for a stock 305 Camaro. Of course my 66...

    How slow is your daily driver?

    No way an 82 Camaro with a 305 is that slow unless there was something seriously wrong with the engine. They actually were pretty fast cars and would blow away a Yugo.

    Looking into a new compact car.

    I like your user name. I'm actually building a 75 Monza 2+2. I bought the car a few years ago but still need to install the engine and trans. I have a 350 for the car and have the original Saginaw 4-speed.

    I'd rather push a Chevy than drive a rice burner! CHEVY#1

    Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?

    I prefer tools made in the USA and I prefer to drive Chevy trucks, :boti:. Thanks guys for recommending the pry bars. Guess I will get one to have on hand but have my doubts about it working with these aftermarket 16x8 wheels. The hubcap is more sunk into these wheels so you can't get a good...

    Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?

    I watched ebay for several weeks and bid on several auctions but didn't win. Eventually a set was listed for $99.00 buy it now so I snagged them. That's more than I wanted to pay but they are in great condition. I removed a couple minor dings with a hammer and polished them with mag wheel...

    Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?

    Maybe but there is very little space to insert a pry bar. I will figure something out. You might check ebay for hubcaps. That's where I bought mine.

    Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?

    I finally had my new tires mounted and balanced. Guess I was trying to wait until I got the truck running but couldn't wait any longer. I had to see them on the truck. As I previously mentioned they are Wheel Vintiques 16x8 with Goodyear Wrangler AT 265 75 16. I painted the wheels white and...

    Factory wheel color in 1977

    What color were the wheels in 1977 with dog dish hub caps? Not with rally wheels.

    Pretty cool. I bet it sounds awesome. I guess similar to 3" side exit tailpipes or sidepipes. VROOM BAH!

    Sounds like you built a great car and now you built an awesome 4x4 truck. Does your exhaust exit thru the original fuel door openings in the bed? A couple days ago I finished installing single piston disc brakes on the front of my yellow Chevelle. Got them at the salvage yard off a 71...

    Nice looking 67 sleeper with a rat motor. I'd never sell my 66. Love the car. Actually have two of them. Long story short. Wrecked the first back in the early 80's so bought the second. Eventually repaired the first and ended up with two. I'd never sell either one. They were daily drivers for...

    I still have a set of poverty caps for my Chevelle. Someday I want to get the Wheel Vintique 15x8 wheels so I can use them. Was that a 396 in your 67 which is now in your truck? I bet it runs great.

    Here are a few pictures of my 66 Chevelle SS. This was my first car in 1979, sophomore year in high school. Guess I'm getting old. I restored the car in 2000. The car was originally Lemonwood Yellow so I went with the original color.

    Here is a picture of my 77 Silverado 3/4 ton project. This is a Camper Special model with 454 and TH400. I have new front fenders for it. She's a little rough but has potential.

    Thanks for the welcome guys. I don't have any good pictures at the moment but here is a picture I took today of my 77 Silverado short bed. The truck was all original except the seat and looked pretty nice when I first bought it about 20 years ago. I pulled all the chrome trim to paint the truck...

    I've been lurking around the forum for a while but recently made my first post in the wheel and tire section. I've always owned Chevy's since 1979 beginning with a 66 Chevelle SS. I still have my Chevelle and several other vehicles including two GM square body's. I've owned a 77 Silverado short...

    Steel 8 bolt Wheel Vintiques?

    I had been trying to decide which wheels and tires to get for my 77 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive project and was inspired by this thread to order the Wheel Vintiques 16x8. I especially liked the wheels and tires on Casey's truck. I love the stock look with a little wider wheels and tires. I went with...
