Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

That Volvo is sweet! Never seen that particular model before. Didn't know they even built trucks in those days.

 

Good you've got some car shows to go to. All the major airshows across the country have been cancelled, which royally sucks. Still a few car shows going on around here as well. Going to have to hit some of them to make up for the lack of airshows.

 

Camaro is still lookin' great there. My buddy is looking into a 4th or 5th generation of that supercharger he's running in his 2011 SS. Guess he'll be going from 900 RWHP to 1,100 or so, LOL! That's my buddy - doesn't know when to quit! Thing is going to be an animal - even more so than it already is. ?

Okay I know we have some 3rd gen fan boys on this site:

 

I've stumbled upon a '92 heritage edition 350 Z28. I know there were only 1,055 Z28 heritage's made that year, 3000~ Z28s had the 350. could probably put this second only to the 1LE and rarity.

 

Rough paint, runs,  need a little work to be a daily. As some of you already know, you just can't find these in any condition. Almost everything is there.  Interior actually looks pretty good for what isn't missing. $4K.

 

Thoughts? Needs parts to get it home, and that 2-hour drive would probably be a dice roll.

Wow is that thing MINT!! 302 Z, too - don't see very many of those around anymore!

 

Was a ton of car shows around yesterday. The local one got canceled, and the guys putting it on never update their website, so tons of cars came up expecting a show, and had to leave. Made a great show for us, at least, lol.

 

I usually never go, because all I do is kick myself in the ass for a month afterwards for getting rid of my '72 El Camino. I'll never live that one down ... ? Should have restored this one with the money I wasted on my Silverado, and bought a 12v Cummins for towing. Hindsight is always 20/20, as they say. TRUTH!!

There is a first gen joke, there are more now than there were in 69.

 

Saw a 69 SS yesterday, caged and tubbed, the SS was upside down. Struggled with if I should tell him at the stoplight.

Sunday I stopped by a dealership to check out the new red pearl they have on the Colorados and Camaros(bit of a let down,  looks just like Garnett.I was hoping it would be like the Japanese pearl reds that pop so much in sun

Put a coat of wax on the old 97 Lumina beater.  Most of it still shines up nicely.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
