    What new tools have you got lately?

    I made the kids that go with me to the swap meets buy them for themselves. Buy this and read it. You will be happy later.

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    I have an 8.6 in the yard and it is the heaviest rear end I have had to move around. I know there are heavier units out there, but this is from a "small truck". It is from a 2001 S-10 and has disc brakes on it. I was going to use it under my '54 Bel Air, but the internets are telling me the...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I bought these Doyle wire cutters from Harbor Freight and they are excellent. They are sharp and cut through all the different wires that are on a vehicle. Off Amazon I purchased a couple sets of terminal pin tools and connectors. As soon as they arrived, Max pulled the pin extractor out and...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I used to read Vizard's books long ago. Always packed with good tidbits of information.

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    I recently used an old Honda hood for the same thing. Holds tarps down quite well.

    Any black two tone trucks out there?

    Flames. Those are what you need to spice up the look of the truck. Trust me, do eet.

    Olds Bravada, GMC Jimmy, Chevy Blazer rear ends

    Yup. They are pretty cheap to find good used ones out there. It will probably make you $5 in scrap value.

    1995 S10 est wire location?

    Gotta love when the engineers change something for the because of it every new model year. We have a '92 Camaro with some one year only crap on it. If I were to do it again, I would have told her to find an '89 to miss all the one off crap.

    TH 400 needed

    I do not. But I will as this sounds interesting. I was thinking of sending it to Nick for a full rebuild on mine. Max's fresh one may not need anything done to it to be able to run it as is.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I have been doing a bunch of reading as I knew we were not the only ones to have had this issue. On the thirdgen.org forum, I found a recent thread that told the same story as mine. It was told that it was the function of the VATS system. Junior went out at lunch and found that he had unplugged...

    Take the belt off and run it for a minute to see if the squeak goes away with that.

    Those are $330 here out the door at the pick n pull. We just bought one at that price.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I spent 24 hours out in the driveway over the last 3 days. From the doors back the entire car has been reassembled and is ready to go. However, the dash install has not gone as well. Max dealt with the gauge cluster clean and rebuild on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the car won't run. First it...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    More of the swell lock set up. I used the sticker from my burger to deem it special... From the top all closed like... Here you can see it all closed up. I have trimmed out one of the rear trim panels to clear the parts that protrude to catch the Bose hatch lid. It closes right up and looks...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Throw it out, no. But it was cut at one point and I used a two foot part of one of the wires to the power Blaupunkt doo dad. Otherwise it is out there in the pile of radio wire stuff. Some times it is the small victories. PO awesomeness. Victory! Over the weekend I buttoned up the whole...

    Welcome from Oregon! Solid work you are doing to bring that truck back from the nearly dead.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I just don't understand how somebody could be so ham-f!sted when working on stuff. Do they not have any pride in the work they are doing and just care about the end result sort of working? I forgot to mention that I found the previous owner on the 'gram. With a simple search I have found some...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    The fresh dash is being cleaned up now and soon we will get to putting it back into the car. It will be nice to stop taking things apart and to start simply just putting them together for the final time. We got let out of work early yesterday, so after a nice nap I got up and went out to...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    It never stops. I should not be looking at the heater core here.... I sent a kid to the yard to pull the one from the white 92 that has given us so much already. So we have a non broken unit to put back when we get to that point. 5 screws. That is all that was holding the dash in the car...

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    The fans are 29 inches wide and 22-1/2 inches tall. The awesome thing about them is that the highest point is only 3 inches, so they are quite compact. I have not had the chance to see how they match up to the spare 4 core big block radiator I have for the truck, but there is room to whittle...

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    Some non Camaro things I pulled from the yard a couple weeks ago... This aluminum small block intake was used on several models from 1978ish to 1985ish. Vettes, Camaros, Trucks you name it if it had a 305 or a 350 in it, there was a possibility it could have been on there. The interwebs were not...

    Bringing the Cat back...enough is enough.

    I just had to make this decision for my kids Camaro. There are the super cheap ones on Amazon, I don't put much faith into them actually doing much at all to scrub the exhaust. I spent some time looking over the interwebs and ended up spending $126 on a Magnaflow that is robust and has a much...

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    Yes, it is a counter-flow model. The exhaust goes in and funnels through the upper half and then drops down to the lower half to exit out the two tailpipes.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    I almost forgot! The sub box that Paul built. It is going to sit atop the fuel cell hump. We figured it all out a couple weekends ago. The little subs want 0.5cuft each for air space, we came up with a box size with a total of 1.6cuft. So three of the Pyle subs at their $30 each price would be...
