Boss Bird at Kil Kare this Thursday

I went to a boat motor school once and they told us to use something softer than the metal. They gave us light switch covers to scrape with.

I use razor blades and take my time.

I moved to Ohio this year. It's 6.5 mikes from my front door to the starting line, so I will swing by. Is it a race instead of test and tune?

It's all stock... so, I guess I'm just stupid. I looked at Rockauto and didn't see any front drums. It has manual brakes and I asked the seller if they were drums. He was mistaken and that makes...

1971 Firebird

I'm looking at a 71 base bird with drum brakes. What would I need to convert it to front discs, ideally using factory compatible parts. All the kits I've seen are for 67 thru 69 Firebirds. I...

The adapter for a 700r, or any other Chevy transmission, is not a big deal. They're cheap and simple. I was a little hesitant... but it's really just a steel plate not much thicker than the steel...

You could look in the hole and see what the cam looks like. It could also depend on how smooth/new/old your stock gear was. If it's not chewing up your composite gear, that's a good sign.

Hobart and Miller seem to have some decent dual voltage welders. That provides a lot of flexibility. 110 in a pinch, real voltage if you have the right plug.

Green seems to be very polarizing. Some people hate it and some people love it. It depends on what you want out of a car and if/when you want to resell it.
