A mystery! I had an OEM bulb burn out in the idiot light bar on my modified console after doing a long car cruise where I was on the brakes a lot for over an hour. (Had wired it to show left & right brake lights). I disassembled the console, a bee-itch to do, finding that socket looked...

Reminds me of the mailbox post my FIL put in some 45-years ago. When we built our house in ’96, nearly 20-years later after he had built his house sharing the same entry road, he extended the top platform to accommodate two mailboxes. Have no idea how deep he mounted the post in the ground, but...

On another thread I mentioned installing LED’s in my modified console light bar that worked nice. Was thinking of doing this for the cluster gauges, but a member said he tried it and didn’t like the results being too much bright – washout effect. I decided to follow his advice. Just me, I dim...

I used several q-tips changing to a fresh one often, I think I needed to get a few just a teeny bit damp with water, but seemed that gently rubbing took the over-paint off easy enough.

Welcome! When I hear about father & son builds, brings back so many great memories of my dear-departed dad. We restored my mother’s old vert that had been loaned around the family for years and seriously, check this, severely rusted. My dad was also very talented and NOT a chance I would have...

Some lines for picking up gals “Do your flaps need adjusting?” “Can I give you one for the kipper?” Have to think more about the mimsy. If she has a clue about these mean slapping you silly, she’s older than she looks…

When? June (2023). Superbird? Didn’t hear about that. Heard something about a Buick

Didn’t hear huh? The 'first' muscle car was the ’64 GTO. Yeah, I don’t believe it either, despite being a GTO fan having one back when.

What is the condition of the bulk-head and connections? Any indication of overheating, loose contacts? This may not be the problem, just something easy to check in the hunt, especially the ignition wire. I had some hassles though not exactly what you’re describing and part of it was assuming...

Thanks, miss-read

Good question, wish I knew as I’ve not kept up with all the flea-bay changes the last some years. When I get the urge to post on the site…well damn, this and that has changed needing to study up on it…then I get peeved and say forget it for the 20-25 bucks I might get after sucking on the...

Years ago did considerable ebay buying/selling. Not much in the past 8-10-years. Seems the site is more unfriendly to use every time I'm looking to post something, rule changes, etc. MOST people have been great to deal with. Only had two occasions dealing with jerks. One was my fault, selling 10...

I’m sure a bunch of members work or worked at dealerships and hope things have changed for the better…at least comparing to what my brother and his buddy experienced years ago as mechanics. They’d get so much ‘time’ to do a repair and if it took longer it became their problem. And the...

And expect the dealer gave him a nice truck to use until his new truck arrived.

Restoration shop around Kenosha that I took my ride to (on a carrier) to do some tweaking they were highly purported to be able to do. Total failure(s) in all respects. My brother took me to pick up the car and got chatting with the ‘mechanic’ while I was up front discussing their ‘work’, he...

As mentioned, re-arching is likely the least expensive. Didn't think of it 20-years ago opting to buy a new set of HD leafs when switching out the rear on my '63 for a '65 Coronet. Some years later friend at a machine shop made a set of shackles that are only an inch or so taller then the...

Great to hear.

There were more changes btw ’63 & ’64 as the entire cowling area was changed.

Interesting vid, all the abbreviations were a bit tough to keep straight for me; but think I got the gist. Few years ago while hunting down engine heat reduction tricks, came across an article by Lucas on racing oils. It prodded me to watch the oil pressure after my rebuild closer than I was...

An observation: Seems that certain people have a tough time pronouncing ‘ask’ getting ‘axe’. And some don’t do well pronouncing words beginning with ‘L’. Sometimes it seems this has nothing to do with intelligence or education. I’ll skip the profiling though it seems to fit. Always found it...
