I saw one in Michigan in 1963 or 1964. We rigged up a pin-hole camera, mirror and screen and took Polaroids of it. Hope you have clear skies ...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I got a ride in Silvia and it's running great!! I'm surprised at the low-end torque. Those tires don't break loose with some power-on shifts so it really sets you back. Fun car!!!

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Nice!!! You changed a sick Vette into a great one.
How about this for a protector you don't have to remove?? If necessary, cut some slits to make the bends.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I looked for info on gasohol boiling point vs pressure but didn't find it. When I was fighting fuel vaporization on the Lincoln, I remember finding a statement that some of the blended ingredients of gasohol will boil at 90*F. :shock: Today, I did find a statement that vapor lock isn't an issue with ...

Re: From the mind and hands of an 83 year old hot rodder.
Gotta love a guy that can do all that, and is still at it at my age.
My late bro Willy had a Hollywood Graham when I was a kid. He loved that car!!

Re: 2019 Dodge Charger
The Maverick was my first and only full paint job. I used urethane primer and finish. No clear. Urethane is VERY forgiving in that you can sand and buff out imperfections, incl runs. I had a bug in every square inch and a couple doing back strokes in the wet paint. All OK. It's also highly toxic, so ...

Datona race Course Damage

I was there for some of Speed Week in 1960 and watched the motorcycle race run partly on that beach. Back then, the expense was small enough that a team could enter with no sponsorship. An army buddy from NJ knew a no-sponsor ...

Re: 2019 Dodge Charger
Hope you don't mind a little anecdote on your thread. As a kid I worked in a gas station/garage. We had the old-timey oil cans where you punched a hole with a spout. The oil cans were stored in a stand with a place to put the "empty" cans where they would drain the remaining oil into a bucket. The ...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
This has to be a mystery for the records. You're going to feel SOOOO good when you solve it.
