Redlines / Steel Wheels / Spinner Caps
So here’s the final outcome of the redline tire project. The tires and caps are factory stock look for the ‘65 442. The 7.75 x 14’s are narrower and taller than the 225/70/14’s I took off. The tires look pretty good, but need a good cleaning. If the weather had been a bit warmer, I would have taken ...

Steel Wheels
In order to install the redline tires that I’ve acquired, I have to have 14” x 6” rims. I had a nice set of 7” wide rims, but they were too wide. A bit of a horse trade got me three 6” wide rims with 4” backspace. I found a fourth on Craigslist locally, so I was able to have a complete set. It was w...

442 Shifter Lever Project
I’m a bit tardy on the post of this, but a before the new year, I was able to get the shifter installed in the 442. It looks and feels great! I think there might be a small amount of tweeking that has to happen to make sure that it’s just right. The “A-Dapter Kit” that I used to make the Muncie shif...

Spinner Hubcaps
Over the summer, for $30 I purchased a box of 2 bar spinner hubcaps from a local guy. In the box was enough parts to make one complete hubcap and then a bunch of miscellaneous other stuff. I made the first hubcap out of the parts on the day I got the box. A couple of weeks later, I took my wall-art ...

442 Shifter Lever Project
I’ve searched around for a factory shifter lever for the 442 since I’ve owned the car. The lever that’s in the car works fine, but it’s not correct for the car. I was able to score a decent shifter lever for $135 shipped to me last week. The lever I purchased looked like someone took a bench grinder...

That’s a pretty rare car. Only 555 convertibles made in 2009.

It has the “cold weather” package installed. Notice the cord hanging out of the
grill. Nice!

Re: 1965 Oldsmobile 442
40,045... Hibernation time. The other day, the weather was wonderful, so I washed up the 442 and got it ready for winter. It really was a pretty easy task. There were tons of bugs on the front of the car that I washed off, but other than that, I put a battery tender on it and covered it up. I think ...

Re: 2018 GMC Terrain
40483…. Summer tires off/ snow tires on. There’s no threat of snow this week, but it was a nice, dry and sunny day, so
The snows were popped on. Brakes look to be at least 85% all the way around. TPMS sensors programmed. Ready for snow.

I heard they didn’t do any of the work themselves, they “sub-bed” it out
to a contractor.

Re: 1967 Cutlass Convertible
WXO, I’m not certain this motor will ever see anything more than a four barrel and dual exhaust if I hang on to it for any duration. With many small block choices that have much more displacement, it’d be tough to hang on to only 330 cubic inches, with that being said, it does move the car pretty we...

Re: Super cool '57 Olds
I’m always impressed by guys who can take a mundane car like that Olds and make it a hot rod.
Not only do they have a cool vision in their minds, but having the skills to make it a reality is
truly something special.

Re: 2022 Jetta GLI
We don’t have 80 mph speed limits in Ohio, but on my ride to work, there’s no enforcement
of the 65 mph speed limit, so 80 or above isn’t uncommon. I can say that those speeds haven’t
hurt my mileage on the Terrain. It’ll be interesting to see how the freeway helps your mileage.
