65,689 …. I took advantage of sunny and 63* degree temps and did an oil change on the Terrain. PF64 Delco oil filter and 6 qts. Dexos 5w-30. Soon I’ll remove the snows, maybe a week or two.

Re: 2005 Yamaha Raptor 660
Nice Job!! I'm not sure if John's old trailer.....the one that I used to pick up that Matco box in Columbus.....had the same issue with the plate getting beat up. My trailer plates all seem to pick up sea weed. :) My trailer had the same license plate issue. My solution was to bend the plate length...

Re: 1971 El Camino
This was a good weekend's worth of work, tying up loose ends and shaking down the work that I've done to date. Work done this weekend: 1) Install seat, hook up seat belts to floor, repair passenger seat hinge trim using existing part 2) Install AUX to lightening cord on back of radio to allow Iphone...

Re: 1971 El Camino
I think I have the spare tire mounted how I want it. The spare is a donut spare with two separate lug patterns on it. At first I wasn’t keen on it, but being that I had to live behind the passenger seat and it’s lighter than a full sized spare, I decided to keep it, at least for now. There’s also a ...

Re: 1971 El Camino
I went out today to see how much of the interior I could tie up. Things went pretty well, I think. I started by mounting the speakers up. The driver side was the more difficult of the two, so I started there first. I used a 4”x6” speaker that was pretty similar to what came out of the car. The speak...

Re: 2018 GMC Terrain
59,976 … With the threat of a winter storm coming in the next couple of days, I decided to make the move back to the snow tires. Summer tires off, winter tires on. TPMS set correctly and all was good on the road trip test. It should also be noted that I had the car undercoated two weeks back. I’m no...

Re: 1971 El Camino
I think I put the door medalions in your ashtray when you were doing the paper work in the "office".....but I could be wrong. Regardless, they have been found and look great. I think old speakers are four ohms while new speakers are eight ohms. I think they old ones will be fully usable i...

Re: 1971 El Camino
Yesterday, I installed the radio. I purchased a used reproduction radio from a guy on Facebook Marketplace. It was supposed to be a functional unit, but after wiring it up and mounting it in the car, the headset powers up, but I get no sound. I went to the website of the manufacturer, and they state...

Re: 1971 El Camino
I'm always amazed by the long list of messed up things you can find after buying a really nice used vehicle. Oh, well, that's why we do what we do. Fixin' is a satisfying part of the enjoyment. I’m just glad when the body work is done and I have a clean platform to work with. I’ve been spoiled with...

Re: 1971 El Camino
I felt pretty positive about yesterday’s work. I started the day by blowing out and vacuuming more sand from behind the dash. This finished it off and I’m pretty pleased with the outcome. There might be some sand left behind the dash, but very little. ( I’m thinking of naming this car “Sandy”) With ...

Re: 1971 El Camino
With the dash out, are you going to upgrade to new speakers? Kudos to Paul for the good math. That may have been during or shortly fifth grade for us. That's almost enough change for a movie at Loweman's plazza on a Tuesday............. [/quote] Tony… The speakers are super easy to access from the t...

Re: 1971 El Camino
Over the weekend, I had a bit of time to work on the El Camino. Being on vacation this week will afford me some time to work on it at length. Here’s a list of stuff I’ve repaired so far: 1) add hazard button to steering column, test hazards 2) reaffix arm rest pad on driver side door — used screw in...

Re: 1971 El Camino
That thing looks super nice, cant wait to see it in person! I loved the '72 I had in the pre-Tiresmoke era. I remember your El Camino making a run back from Carlisle in the days when the speed limit was 55 mph on the turnpike. We were in a train of cars going 70. I’m pretty sure we were all loaded ...
