    Billy Squire

    He was never a favorite but damned if he didn’t make some hits. We didn’t have cable TV (MTV) or money to buy albums and he was no longer very popular when I got more into music. Some of you may have been aware of this but there is the feeling that this one video destroyed his career. You be...

    The Squatter thread

    Since squatters are in the news a lot, please post any interesting articles you find. I honestly can’t see how this has become the issue that it has. You either have a lease or other printed agreement or you don’t. If you don’t, hit the bricks. How would it be any different if a person...

    New metal from legendary artists.

    Noticed on YT that several legendary metal artists have new music out recently and largely it’s really good. I’m all for it. It’s way past due for hard rock and metal to come back.

    Bending your own brake lines

    I need to make up a few new lines because I got a new prop valve that mounts a bit differently than prior. Also I want the lines to looks a bit better. Anyone try the nickel copper lines? People say it’s the only way to go if bending your own lines. Can you straighten the tubing (tubing...

    Mike Tyson to fight Jake Paul.

    I only vaguely know who Jake Paul is. I knows he’s famous on YouTube and he’s 30 years younger than Tyson. I hope Mike murders him. https://nypost.com/2024/03/07/sports/mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-boxing-match-set-for-netflix/

    Anyone bother rebuilding master cylinders?

    Mine is prob near 25 years old and although I have no reason to think it’s bad, seems like it would be wise to rebuild or get a new one. I did a GM front disk swap and just bought a generic early 70s Chevelle MC with the single bail. Looks like this: For the sake of appearance I’d like to...

    Anyone dismount, mount and balance your own tires?

    Just considering it because it’s a little pricey to have the tire shops do it. I’d like to powder coat the tires on my C10 and the tires are pretty new, Chevelle too. So it’s not an insignificant expense. Thought of buying a used manual tires changer and bubble type balancer off CL or HF...

    Drum brake assembly

    I took some pics but unfortunately they aren’t as useful as I had hoped. The drum brakes were completely disassembled to clean up and paint the diff housing etc. The part that’s really confusing me is the parking brake cable and this grey lever in the pic. Anyone know how this goes together...

    Universal AC condensers

    Want to get a parallel flow condenser for the 67. Best I can tell is that the stock size is 14 x 24 and I don't think you can realistically go any larger because of the shape of the recess that the condenser fits into in the core support. I think a lot of people recommend Original Air (Tampa...

    Any Cult fans?

    One of my favorite bands. Amazing vocals, killer rock sounds; criminally underrated. The last clip is from Stern in 2024. Ian Astbury still sounds amazing. Can’t think of any 80s vocalist who “still has it” like Ian still has it. Billy Duffy was just a damn great guitar player. To me Sonic...

    Wrestling getting spicy. Vince McMahon stepping down amid sex scandal.

    And there’s this: McMahon, the co-founder of the modern WWE, was hit with the bombshell lawsuit this week by ex-staffer Janel Grant — which included allegations that he defecated on her during a threesome, trafficked her to other WWE executives and sexually abused her with toys he named after...
