I doubt this is your noise issue but I had a ticking sound on a SBC motor a few years ago. Sounded just like a lifter. Convinced myself I needed a...
Just finished reading through issue 32 that I got from relatives of a friend of mine who passed away a couple of years ago. What an outstanding...
So sorry for the loss of your friend. I’m at the age where that is happening far too often.
Left So Cal for the great NW in 93 but still miss the swap meet.
A couple of years back I subscribed to RJ. Soon after I started seeing posts here that things were not going well. I paid for the subscription...

Try something like this. [ATTACH]
GNRS, bunch of cruise nights, a few swap meets and possibly a trip to Devils Run in Devils Lake North Dakota.
Wow. You are making great progress Sam. It will be in paint before you know it. Keep up the good work and the great blow by blow descriptions.
A couple of West side 3 windows planning on it.
I fought what I thought was noisy lifter on a SBC a few years ago. I convinced myself the cam was bad so replaced cam and lifters. Started the...
[ATTACH] Top hasn’t been down for 4 years. Last time we had it detailed they got the plastic rear window really nice. Don’t want to mess it up...
The module in the HEI on the 351 W in my avatar went out recently. Waiting for a new one. Update: put a new module in and it went in about 50...
Our 50 Chevy convertible.[ATTACH]
Seen in North Vancouver a few years ago.[ATTACH]
Took the Avatar up from WA to the Tawwassen ferry. Great show although the weather wasn’t as nice as it’s been in the past. Actual rain on...

Put a Ron Francis remote power cutoff on our 50 Chevy Convertible. Works great. Just push the button on the fob.
I found I had a reverse rotation pump on a 400 Sbc in a previously owned 32. It never overheated but wanted to run warm. Funny thing is the car...
I was born and raised in the San Diego area. Remember cruising the local hamburger places with servers bringing food on roller skates in the late...
I did stainless lines with AN ends for a car some time ago. Had a professional 32 degree flaring tool. The ends needed to be smooth and square to...
One of the most important things I own is a 4” thick foam rubber pad for kneeling. They sell them just for us.
Really coming along Sam. Can’t wait to see it in person.
[ATTACH] Glass cars can be cool. This is a Redneck 3 window I owned a while back. Great car. 400 SBC, 700R4, 9”. Also had outside door hinges...
Plan to be there in my Avatar. Not sure how, given potential issues with Anacortes ferry. Maybe up through Vancouver.
Guys who did mine were not pleased to see the glass had been put in with urethane.
I’m running Holley on my avatar. So far so good but my mechanic did suggest I switch to a Carter because mine will run out of fuel on real heavy...
Had new glass installed. Had pitting that would show up at night. Bell Glass in Phoenix did the work. I took the windshield to them. Great work at...
Had a Pertronix ignition module go bad that acted like bad fuel until it finally quit altogether.
Always a bunch of cars at the McDonalds in the Pavilions in Scottsdale on Saturdays.
