Back when I had my car restored maybe 15 years ago, I lost two things that I wish I'd spec'd them to keep (and in one case, think I did but they missed it): 1) My dealer emblem (1969 Midwest Motors in Regina, SK) 2) My high school parking decal (1982 Miller High in Regina, SK) For a long time I assumed the deal...

You might have noticed a lack of progress on my car, which is primarily due to it being off in body shop jail. But I also managed to hurt my neck crawling around under the dash of my Laurentian. Literally I blew a disc out of my neck (C6) spinning around under there trying to find out where the console got i...

My first time overseas, and I barely saw a single American vehicle there my entire visit. The ONLY American made vehicles I saw were Teslas! Otherwise that place is a Mercedes town, with a lot of Audi and VW and various British and even French makes running around. But the US clearly lost that market...

Hi All, I realize there's a number of posts and data on VIN numbers, however I'm having a little trouble with some info on my tags. Would be great if it could be decoded. Thanks in advance.

I think I've mentioned that the Catalina I just parted out was a bit of a time machine with nothing really wrong with it. Part of that was that it still had 3 working T3 headlights, so I grabbed those. Just need one low beam to make a set. But does anyone know how to date code them? All I can find on them are a...

One person has told me this, and the leaky heater core I pulled has plain tanks, but no guarantees it's original. My rad has plain tanks too, but before I get them recored, I'd like to make sure all the tanks are correct from an authenticity judging standpoint. It's a 65 Impala, but it should be the same as...

Hello all, I recently bought an a 1965 Chevy C10 truck, and a Chevy small block was under the hood. It was a Frankenstein motor with a 1971 intake manifold, and 1973 heads. The casting number on the back of the block is 3914678 which indicates it could be a 302, 327, or 350. The info on the top right front...

As you may know I have several 69 big cars (including a Canadian 2+2). Despite having found an NOS nose and one nice used one on eBay over the years I still can't give all my cars a nice nose piece so I'm trying a new twist;building a sheetmetal shell to replace the original "rubber" mat'l. I took a comple...

I've long heard that black was not easy to work with for some reason. Maybe it showed flaws too much? Maybe it was expensive? Or maybe it just wasn't in style at certain times? There sure weren't many black cars around 1966 era. One particular thing I'm looking into re black paint is something I was told a...
