Cascade Crew

Been a while since I've been on, been busy with my projects, and work, headed back to school next month to be an auto machinist. Fun stuff.

Camaro is finally running good, ditched the computer ...

I have a hardtop, no way in hell was I getting a t-top car, my mom used to have one, was a pain in the ass. Always leaked, so did her t-top trans am. I have everything tightened, but I think a lot o ...

So, for comparison, I pulled a panel out of my dart I have laying around, and one out of the camaro, that's plastic, and weighed them, the difference was around an ounce. 20 panels = 20 ounces. I th ...

What ones do you guys recommned? I just looked around, thinking about a spohn set from Hawks.

Not yet, planning to at some point.

Anyone out there done any replacement of the plastic panels inside their car? I want to replace all the ones in my hatch area, and the sail panels in the backseat, etc. My car creaks and groans too ...

Thanks man. I'm stoked to get out of the computer world, and back to working on cars for a living. Very Happy

I met with the Dept head of the manufacturing part of the college here, I'll be taking machining with welding from them, and then performance engine, and a couple other things from the auto dept, will ...

She's into cars too, she wants to be a mechanic, and is headed to school for that. I just think she doesn't like MY cars, cause, well, I spend a lot of time and money on them that I could be spending ...

Aaron,

Thanks for the links, I'll be picking up those Kumho's this month. I gotta get aligned too, I have a half inch on the outside edge of my fronts that are completely worn, no belts showing, ...

Any crewbies interested in meeting up in Eugene or Bend, maybe cruise to a nice lake up in the mountains a bit? I'd be happy to put something together and meet some of you guys.

I'm planning on that for sure. I've got a pretty good grasp of classic auto, I've built a number of engines, but all the machine work, aside from valve grinding, and honing, is shipped out right now. ...

I'm getting pretty excited, I'm going to finally go to college, my goal is to become an automotive machinist. I meet with my advisor on Monday, and have already been approved for federal grants. Any ...

aaron,

How are your Kumho's? I was thinking of buying a set for my IROC, but haven't talked to anyone using them. Noticed you rated them an 8 originally, you still feel they're that good?

Thanks for the tips. I have a related questions. Do you guys know where to buy gears for t56's? I was thinking I can fine tune for my setup if I have to freshen one up. I've always been interested ...

I've read, and been told by some buddies, that the rear ends in these 3rd gens are a weak point. I have a 350 in mine, and am planning on swapping intake, etc, soon to get some new power. Right now ...

Damn, I guess I fall into that punk kid category. I gotta get to a meet soon..

To be honest, her issue with my Dart is not about money. It was more about the time I spend working on it. When you're doing a ground up resto, it takes a lot of time and effort, and I suppose she j ...

Any black interior stuff you have left, I want. I am planning to swap my interior from tan/gold to black as soon as I can.

Well, I think I'm going to do the swap without the msd box to start, when I sell my truck, pick up the box with the money leftover from buying the '67. I'm got beat by a mustang the other day, can't ...
