    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Good morning all - having my tea right now after a late night. I ended up making "Sailor's Beef Stew". It is beef cubes, thick potato slices and onions that are each given some high heat frying to give them some color. Then they are put in a large pot with some peas, parsley and fresh thyme...

    Promaxx shocker 240

    A brand new set of aluminum "ready to bolt on heads" had terrible valve seats and actually leaked so we had to clean up some of the seats. These were an "off brand" for a small block Chevy, but still, I would check whatever you get. I have also found that quality and price are often, but not...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Darn it guys: I just had breakfast and I'm still getting hungry - stop it!!! :lol: My sister and her husband, along with my mom, are coming for dinner tonight, so I need to figure out something to make. Now I got a couple of ideas!

    Went the fastest I have ever gone this past weekend

    That's quick, especially considering temperature and track conditions! :thumbsup:

    My new stock stroke 400 build

    You really need to recurve that distributor - the car will perform much better with a faster curve. :thumbsup:

    NXCoupe's Shop Build

    It looks great. No one will notice any seams anyway - they'll just see a brightly lit, well appointed garage/ work shop and enjoy all the cars and tools. (At least I would.)

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Good morning. I'm having my morning cup of tea and getting ready to start my day. I need to spend some time today cleaning the garage - it is a mess. But first I need to attend a morning meeting to discuss nursing care for my dad.

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

    I build engines with my father-in-law now that I am retired (and he built stuff for Kenny Montgomery and worked with Grumpy Jenkins). Trust me when I say that for a street engine you want to build an engine for broad, low end torque. It's a big over simplication, but high RPM horsepower does not...

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

    You have to read my full comment. I said to get polyurethane. My comment "coming from a guy who mostly prefers rubber in his suspension components" is intended to strengthen the suggestion to get polyurethane (or even solid).

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

    I want to recall that when I went to replace the bushings the only type available were polyurethane. If I had my pick, I'd choose polyurethane over rubber anyway, and understand that comment is coming from a guy who mostly prefers rubber in his suspension components. My rubber bushings had the...

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

    In my 73 Road Runner, I replaced the rubber bushings with polyurethane. Part of me wants to be cautious about using steel inserts to replace them, but then again, my 70 is mounted solid to the body and I have no issues. At any rate, when I drove my 73 cross country both ways it drove and...

    Kids, Permanent Black Markers, Classic Cars Don't Mix

    Yikes! Try drawing on a whiteboard with permanent marker. Then draw over the line with a dry erase marker and immediately wipe it off. It will typically remove the permanent marker.

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

    Since about 15 years ago, I have been warming to green. First of all, I ended up with my factory Limelight 70 Road Runner. I really didn't want green, but when I saw the original, pristine factory paint under the B pillar trim, I decided to do it. It has really grown on me and now I love it...

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint and Some Upgrades

    I don't remember - I bought that in 2014 when I was restoring my 70 Road Runner. I might guess it was P.S.T. but I'm honestly not sure. Sorry.
