    Misc Vintage Racing Clips

    When I see these barn find videos, I would like to hear how someone found these cars. I think this guy uses his YT channel to get leads on cars. In the comments was this post from a relative: It is really good to see that someone "found" my Uncle Dan's 1957 Corvette. I knew where it was the...

    The Youtube algorithm is very powerful these days. If you are looking for something (other that what you have been looking at recently), you are screwed.

    Vibration from 30-40mph - 1997 Tahoe 4wd

    I only have 165K on mine. I would drive it 2000 miles tomorrow with no worries. It's more likely to rust away on the trip than to break down.

    Long Overdue Progress! Making New Door Panels 12/8/24

    I will do that once I'm finished with the frame. It has to be better than the original that was made out of compressed pulp! Thanks for the heads up on the magnets.

    Long Overdue Progress! Making New Door Panels 12/8/24

    I am going to have two hidden screws at the front and back plus the magnets. The magnets hold really well, you have to pry them up to release. Also, I reused the top part of the C3 panel that has a metal channel that hooks onto the top of the door.

    I was surprised that the log book didn't appear to document the serial number for the car. Looks like the Steve McQueen 917 go off on the 18th. I friend of mine is at the auction. He told me that another 917 "lemans" movie car that was not owned or driven by McQueen sold a couple of years...

    Long Overdue Progress! Making New Door Panels 12/8/24

    Installing Mag daddy door "clips". This is going to work out well since I have to take the panels on and off multiple times. I cut a rectangular pocket first, and glued a thin ABS sheet with a hole in it: Then I covered the back with a fiber sheet that loosely captured the magnet. Fom pad...

    TIPS of the Day

    I didn't know Bridgeport was "rebranded". Yes, metal stamping (the machines to do it) went out with all the large machine tool companies.

    Vibration from 30-40mph - 1997 Tahoe 4wd

    Fixed. Bad U-joint on the driveshaft. Sucks to have a 4wd vehicle in the shop for repairs when you get a foot of snow.

    Vibration from 30-40mph - 1997 Tahoe 4wd

    We got 12" of snow on Monday so the Tahoe was pressed into service. The vibration is so bad now it starts at 25mph. It gets dropped of at the shop today.

    I was a big fan of Trans Am. I think Wide World of Sports used to show the races. I think the attraction was, these looked like the same cars you could see in a showroom. I wasn't quite old enough to drive, much less buy a new car, so it was aspirational. 62 Corvette Video: Allison V12?

    I have wanted a 72 Split Bumper forever. If I won the lottery, that would be the first thing I would buy. I have had 3 1970-72 Camaro's back in the day but they were far from Z28's or RS cars. The best (condition) one was a 6cyl with absolutely no options I bought for $600. My girlfriend...

    Vibration from 30-40mph - 1997 Tahoe 4wd

    My old Tahoe 4wd (165k miles, automatic) has a weird vibration from 30-40mph. I don't think it's a wheel balance issue (don't really feel it only in the steering wheel). To try and isolate it, I did an experiment. I went up a slight grade from a stop and slowly accelerated to 40mph. At...

    I think that Amazon is as responsible for the decay in the world (not just the US) as Facebook and all the rest of the "Tech" companies that have brought about the collapse of society. Amazon is called a "tech" company because they were so technologically advanced that they replicated a...

    Happy New Year Doc. Price fixing for anything you buy these days, appears to stem from Amazon policy. If an Amazon seller gets caught selling a (usually China) product at a lower price, they are banned from Amazon. I remember when that was illegal. I have never bought anything from Amazon...

    Did they say in the first video that the supercharger was made for Pikes Peak? Cool video but it was difficult to figure out what the history of this was with 3 guys talking at once.

    What goes around ...

    There is a green energy company close to me that claims it has developed a technology to deconstruct an EV batterys and solar panels into their its basic materials, then make a new battery or panel out of those recycled materials. My prediction, this is not possible but, if it were, that new...
