I'm going to be in Springfield, Ma, over the Fourth of July weekend and want to know if there are any local shows or cruise nights nearby. I know...
I've had my '56 Bel Air since 1985.
1970 Z-28 -- 360 horse, 350, M-22 4-speed, 4.10 posi rearend. A major beast. It was fastest between Sunoco 260 pumps.
I've walked NSRA events in Tampa, Knoxville and Louisville for years, but had never taken my '56 to one of their events since my car was 'too new'...
Sort of off topic, but here's our '56 at the marina in Dunedin, FL. We've had the car since 1985.
Definitely remember WAPE. Listened to them when I was in school at UF in Gainesville. Growing up in South Florida, WQAM in Miami was the big rock...
Nat Danas, an automotive aftermarket icon in the trim and restyling arena, died yesterday at 89. Nat was a trimmer after WWII and started Auto...
I don't drive my '56 much, but I throw in a can of SeaFoam two or three times a year. Just moved to Dunedin, FL, and found a station a half-mile...
Wow, I totally misunderstood the headline on this post!
OK, guys. Let's argue about this for a while. I've been checking out the local cruise/show scene since we're new to the area and I ran across...
I'll have to check out the car show on the 24th. There is a Dunedin show in the park by the Art Center on Michigan on the 31st. I'm registered...
I'm aware of those two. Just wondering about the Palm Harbor stuff, since it would only be a mile or so from my house. I know Biff Burger is big,...
Just moved to Dunedin and am looking for local car activities, etc. There appears to be a club in Palm Harbor called the Night Riders that used to...
Just relocated to Dunedin. Looking for a couple of things: 1, clubs in the Clearwater, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, etc., area; and 2, are their any...
I had drilled 1/8" holes in 160 and 180 degree thermostats and still had overheating issues. Gutting the thermostat so it was just a disk with a...
As I've posted before, I've been chasing a strange overheating issue with the 327 in my '56 Chevy. Problem solved, I think, thanks to advice...
While we're at it, who drank directly from the milk carton and put it back in the fridge?
I posted a few months ago about a heating problem with the 327 in my '56. It's much better, but still acting strange. Here's the brief...
I've just relocated from the Atlanta area to Gainesville, Fla., and Rick handled moving my '56 Chevy. He was great: good service, responded...
After two years of trying, we've finally sold the Atlanta house and we're moving to Gainesville, Fla. I need to have my '56 Chevy shipped --...
The pulley system is the standard Concept One serpentine belt system. We'll check out that possibility, though. Thanks.
Well, a month later we're still chasing this. It turns out that that Classic Instruments gauge is accurate. We put in one of their replacement...
Sending unit is in the intake on the passenger side. I'll pick up a new sending unit and a non-contact thermometer to continue troubleshooting....
The fan is shrouded and it pulls like a beast, so I don't think that's a problem. I am starting to think it's a head gasket. If that tests out...
The head gasket seems to be the culprit, perhaps. One thing that I forgot to mention. This morning I took the cap off the radiator and there was...
I need some help/advice on a regular temp-guage spike. First, the back story. I've had my '56 Chevy for 25 years. Engine is a 327, 60-over, 1.94...
Work with friends to develop a shorthand to say what you want to say about a vehicle, but don't because the owner may be nearby. For example, a...
Gainesville eateries worth checking: Satchel's Pizza; either Sonny's; NW Grille (39th Ave & 51st) -- great seafood; The Yearling -- south to...
Bought a vinyl soundtrack back in the late Eighties at that used record store that used to be in downtown Sacramento. Has anyone ever seen the...
I grew up in West Palm Beach not far from the Latham location on Congress Ave, between Belvedere and Okeechobee Roads. Used to ride our bikes by...
