    Good Center Drills?

    I need a set of new center drills. I have been buying HSS center drills from Mcmaster but they don't last (drill points dull). The smaller sizes mostly. I was looking for Precision Drill (made in USA) brand but it looks like they have been moved to Brazil. Everything else looks like China...

    Collision Repair These Days.

    Someone rear ended my wife's 2021 Honda CR-V 4 months ago. Not bad, drivable but the hatch was not operable. So I took it to the body shop where they estimated the repairs at $6500. Progressive was the insured's company. When we dropped the car off, Progressive had a rental car for us...

    Indy 500

    I used to follow Indy Car racing for years until Tony George started the IRL and CART died. I watched (on and off) the race yesterday. Lots of wrecks. Even in the pits. I think there were 3 restarts in the last 10 laps. I didn't recognize 90% of the drivers names. Not much passing. Looks...

    Late Model C3 - Is the Blower Fan on Low anytime key is on?

    I converted my HVAC system with parts from a 79. This included a new, stand alone 1979 AC wiring harness. I am working on the console now. So, a couple of days ago I tested this setup. It seems to work but, anytime the key is on the blower fan is on at low speed. I went over the wiring...

    in 2017, hackers took roughly 147 million Americans' personal information from the Equifax credit monitoring agency, making it one of the largest data breaches in history. The exposed information included names, Social Security numbers, birthdays, driver's license numbers, and 200,000 credit...

    Radiator Fan Control, Off When not Running

    I would like to turn my radiator fans off (even when hot) when the engine is not running. Thought about putting them on a pressure switch but I'm not sure how long it takes, after the car is turned off, to bleed down. Trying to keep the fans from coming on at the same time when restarting...

    Where Can I Get 3/4" Cup Seals?

    I am working on something (not car related) and I need to find 3/4" cup seals like are used in master cylinders. I could get a rebuild kit if I knew an old car that had 3/4 inch seals. Mcmaster sells these but nothing below 1 1/2"

    ******Future of Vettemod*******

    Vettemod is now 13+ years old. With age, problems crop up. GoDaddy is going to migrate VM to new servers next month. Unfortunately, the version of Vbulletin used for this forum is obsolete and cannot be upgraded (because of some other programing issues). This is compounded by my complete...

    Ride Height with Fiberglass Leaf Spring

    I have installed a VBP Dual Mount spring (front and rear) on my car. When I installed it, I set the ride height at a predetermined position. This was done with the weight of the car resting on platforms with a polyethylene slip sheet on top so the tires would be able to move laterally with...

    2023 Corvette LT6 Engine

    I heard about this new Z06 on the news. The reporting sort of made it sound like GM is wasting it's time developing internal combustion engines (when they should be building electric). Who's the first to put this in an old Camaro...

    Reading Throttle Position Sensor Voltage

    I have a GM throttle body that has a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). In order to set the position of the throttle (at idle) you are supposed to read the voltage at 2 of the three pins. This sensor is basically a potentiometer. So, GM instruction are to pull the connector, turn the key on and...

    Dunlap Offset Ratchet Screwdriver

    I have an old Dunlap offset ratcheting screwdriver that belonged to my Dad. The one I have is a flat but I think I remember he had a Phillips also. Seems like 2-3 times a year I have a need for that and a bent one will not fit. I end up removing the screw with a tiny channel lock. The...

    Door Latching Problem- Solved by Conversion to Electric!

    I have replaced the door latches on my 68 with later (74?) latches that I cleaned and lubed with lithium grease. Before replacing the latches, the doors closed pretty poorly. They would "bounce" open (from fully closed) about a 1/2 inch before the latch would catch. Without changing...

    Is Corvette America Still In Business?

    Corvette America used to sell interior "dye" paint that was made specifically for Corvettes. SEM and most others sell generic colors. I have C5 seats that I'm using and would like to change the color of the interior parts. The color for the seats is Light Oak. SEM and others sell "Classic...
