This stint of mild weather has got me back on task. Today I pulled the half-shafts out. They came out real easy - all I had to do was unbolt them from the differential and the spindle and they came out. The instructions I had read made it sound much worse. I also removed the inner u-joints for repla...

Definitely looks A1. Can't wait to see it out on the street.

OK, so Fred's got me two to one. BUT, I had the spreadbore FIRST and he escalated! Well if you had the Holley first, then I would say you escalated, and he had to buy one to keep up. I know after tiresmoker bought roller rockers I was compelled to keep up. You just can't help it. Before it was a la...

Spreadbore on a Ford? It looks good on there, just seems unusual.

I think Fred had one for his 68 Camaro - looked a lot like that one. Is this a coincidence?

I want to know who bought theirs first and who needed to get one to catch up.

It seems the exhaust was leaking a little where the y-pipe joins the catalytic converter. The connection must have gotten tweaked when the tranny was out and the engine leaned back on the exhaust. So I moved the clamp and cranked down on it. I have also noticed a vibration in the driveline around 70...

Isn't there a reailty show like this?

Are you going to be putting the supercharger and nitrous on at the end?

I think I was predicting it would be out by four or five. Walt - you must have been bust prepping in the AM.

The video and pictures are cool.

My 2 cents: Sell Honda. Sell Camaro if needed and drive truck. Take extra cash and get a 9" or 12-bolt fitted for Caddy.

make sure you take pictures when you get it apart - I'm sure it will be ugly. (sorry had to get that in)

Neither fog light works, but one of them is physically broken, the other probably just a bulb. I can't understand how these always get broken. Mine were like that too - new bulbs and replacement lenses I put on 5 years ago are not broken and still working. Mine even survived a fender cracker (it wo...

No but I put the best stock head on it, and it can pull the wheels when I dump the clutch.

I am working on my John Deere now. Does that count?

Two hours + $85 + parts = about $320 per axle depending on the car. One of my coworkers just got her brakes done on an LHS at the Firestone store and it was a little less than $250 per axle. Getting parts at Autozome would have cost less than half of that - even buying the premium ceramic pads. It ...

Thought we should have a thread for locating parts. Right now I am looking for a 5 speed to go behind my 3.4 V6 in my 95 Camaro. I foolishly let one go on ebay for $150 before I knew that mine was more than that to repair, so I guess I am looking for one in that range. Junkyards are a waste of time ...

The car is back on the road. A small piece of metal had broken off the clutch disc on the outside edge of one of the springs, and was apparently dragging on the pressure plate. Too bad I did not look close enuogh the first time. So I replaced the clutch and pressure plate and the problem is fixed. I...
