Great "stealth" ideas. Here is the funny part. The one and only speeding ticket I ever got...was in a VETTE with the radar detector going. The trooper was going the other way and zapped his instant on burst. The detector went off...and noted I was only slightly above the limit and I slowed...

Hey Lyle, Is it possible your ignition switch (not the lock cylinder) is bad, or out of adjustment? In other words, your twist the key, but the rod does not push the switch all the way forward to start...however, it does cycle the fuel pump and IAC..etc, so you get the sizzle noise under the...

Actually, the photo was taken in Orange Park, Florida. We lived there back then, moved away and ended up moving back years later. White steering wheel? I really don't know? Yep, you never know about the moulding. The car was bought new from the same dealer (for his daughter) that my Dad...

I just went through this on a trans am. It is no big deal. First, throw away that resistor. Go to your local auto parts store and buy a new ignition lock cylinder (I assume yours broke). They come with the wire harness for the VATS. Then, take your registration and I.D. to the local GM...

I would not pay anymore than the $1,500 I paid just a few years ago, if I had to buy it again. I agree, you can't put a "price" on doing this, but it is wise to consider as you proceed to help make sure the car will be finished some day.

check out my 69 at www.mcspeed.homestead.com I paid $1,500 for this car and have $50K plus in building it with 98% of the work done myself. Is it worth it? Only the owner can determine that. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Passenger view.

I saw a kit like this somewhere in a magazine once, and thought it was pretty cool. The idea of getting your radar detector off the dash, off the glass, and in a safe place is of interest to me. Here is what I did. I took the suction cup mount for the radar detector and cut the suction mount...

Make sure that the sensor portion of the unit does not make contact with the bushing. Thread to thread is okay. If the lower smooth sensor tip touchs or grounds against the bushing, you will not get the correct reading as when you tighten it, there may be damage to the sensing portion. This...

Okay you bums...listen up. Here I am on a temporary disability from work...struggling to type on the keyboard and make it about my daily activities....AND...with the help of a young willing assistant, got the heater core replaced in my 85 Vette yesterday!!!!!!! He has a 1995 trans am. He...

TZracer just ordered the heavy duty FIVE from Keisler, and should be ready to install it in the near future. I am running the Richmond Six. Both are excellent. The Richmond is not rated to handle as much power as the Keisler Five speed heavy duty unit. This is a easy conversion for anybody...

These are the only guys I trust for specialty coverage. They have written my cars in the past and do a great job. The best part is, they are very liberal on usage. I just got my Mom a Street Rod policy through them for the 23 T-bucket with high limits, full coverage, etc at $200 a...

I am going to try to get a pic of my car today, or next couple of days as a close up where the pipes come out under the fender. Maybe we can compare notes.

The hood is super nice. We will get some pics uploaded by this weekend, as he intends to take it on the first drive then.

Can you snap a picture and post it, or email it to me?

Does the driver side header hit the steering gear box? Keep us posted. We just wrapped up a Hooker pipe install on a 81 small block this weekend, and fired it off for the first time. I had a lot of luck by welding the mount studs to the frame rails after hand fitting the leg pipes to see...

OUCH! Are your motor mounts good? Are they aftermarket, original OEM, etc.???? Are you sure it is matching numbers block, and not by some chance a tall deck truck block? Has the car been in a significant accident? Outside of defective headers, any one of these above items can cause your...

So what is your total build cost at this point including extra materials like the slick ring compressor, cans of paint...etc?

Pics open now. Man...I like it! George, no photo shop on the car except the background, and I am better at body work than taking spectacular photos. Can't wait for the track results!!!!!!!

Thanks, I love the engine pics. The LT1/4 motor looks great sitting in a C3. The wheels look super sharp. Very high quality stuff with that precision engineered look. You will get a lot of looks with those on the boulevard. Keep the pics coming. I just did some major uploads to my site...
