Re: 2008 Corvette Coupe

41,000… It was a very rainy, salt-washing off the roads week and you could tell on Monday that the weather was going to shape up for a weekend ride. The stars aligned and we ended up with a 60 degree ...

Re: 2010 Chevy Silverado

This project turned out better than a “Poor Man’s Blazer” job and
should outlast the rest of the truck! A couple of things I thought about

Re: 2000 Dodge Viper GTS

This was a good call purchase! I struggle to see how you can lose money
if you want to sell, and it’s cool that you could actually buy your dream

I’m not certain what the configuration of the pads is, but I’ve always used a grinder
to open the slot on the pads to add a bit of slop to the action. I’ve done this ever since
