    1971 big block on the edge

    I have to agree. I'd be scared to death of starting to put money into that. Parts.

    Mufflers

    I can't answer your ZR-1 question, but I whole heartedly agree with you on the noise statement. I recently bought an LT-4 and the previous owner had cut the mufflers off and replaced them with straight pipes. I HATE the cabin resonance. In the next few days I'll be going back to stock. I...

    Thumbs up for The Hubcap & Wheel Store in Kansas City

    Hey Tom, I went to the "Portal" section and found the area to add a "link." Being somewhat internet-illiterate, however, I wasn't sure what kind of information to put where. The name, address and phone number seemed pretty obvious though, I'm happy to say. This place doesn't have a web site...

    Thumbs up for The Hubcap & Wheel Store in Kansas City

I happen to live an hour from Kansas City so I opted to take them to the Hubcap & Wheel Store which is located in K.C.,K. Being cautious, I took only one wheel in at...

    Wheel restoration specialist in Midwest?

    Gixster, Yes I would like to know how they come out. Pix would be great! And DWC, thanks. This is the third recommendation for the HC&WS. The first two (on another board) mentioned the shop near St. Louis. Glad to hear there's one in K.C. I really want to visit the shop that'll do the...

    Wheel restoration specialist in Midwest?

    Hey All, I'm looking to have the wheels on my '86 Z-51 restored to remove some minor scrapes & dings. I'm new to the Midwest so I have no idea where to start looking here. A shop that can refinish with the original paint code is what I'm really looking for, as I'm likely to do only two wheels...

    roller rocker install Q's

    #1; BIG difference between moly & lithium. Get the moly. You should be able to find "assembly lube" at any parts house. #2; Pushrods and rockers wear together like lifters on cam lobes. Replace the pushrods with the rockers. The pushrod to lifter contact is essentially a no-wear point so...

    Early C4 door sill pad?

    Hey Ken, Thanks for the quick response. My problem is that the cover is peeling off of the mounting and the foam is shot. Unfortunately, replacement is the only fix here. :-( tom

    Early C4 door sill pad?

    This is a pretty high-wear item, but Chevrolet (according to my local dealer) isn't selling them any longer and I can't find them in any of my catalogs. Does anyone know where I can find replacements? Specifically, I'm looking for a light grey for an '86. Thanks, tom
