    Let's make sure to keep ourselves updated on the return of Stinger/AAR fiberglass.

    A friend is anxiously awaiting their return and keeps asking me, but I don't know anymore than anyone here. The statements from the company are exciting, but the dates are vague and I don't blame them. They're probably going to be overwhelmed with orders in the first few months. Anyway, if...

    How to preserve original Casler Cheater tires.

    I was gifted these original (not recaps) Casler Cheaters along with their respective inner tubes from a friend that had 'em in his climate controlled basement for 50 years. They were mostly in the dark and only have about 20 runs on them from an original Max Wedge that he still owns. Of course...

    Dirty plugs. What say ye?

    This is what I found in cylinders #1 and #3 after a few modest outings around town including a couple of full throttle bursts. But for the most part, was mostly low speed idling and street cruising. Not enough room in this city. I might first have to lean out either my fuel mixture screws on the...

    With Stinger Fiberglass now seemingly gone, what company makes the best glass hoods?

    Asking for a friend who has a 1971 Demon. AAR/Stinger fiberglass was making some really good quality hoods, fenders and doors just recently but has since temporarily closed their product orders. Who now is the quality stand in making good glass pieces? Thank you.

    Which website would I have a good chance of finding vintage photos of a specific race car from the New York region?

    I'm looking for photos of a friend's car, a '62 Savoy Max Wedge stick car called "The Bakers Special". It's originally a Brooklyn car and was red from the factory with the grey interior and then was painted black with metal flake/lace paint sometime in the late 60's or early 70's. Which is the...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Weight, Ballast, Pounds, Mass, Lard, Fat, Pork, any which way you cut it and name it, carrying the heavy stuff can and will hinder a cars performance and longevity, especially off the straight line type. Depending on the year and model, there are so many places on a car to remove weight, but it...

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    I've towed on an open trailer here and there over the years and wondered if any of you are concerned with the transmission being in park gear or neutral. As you all know so well, even though the four straps keep the car stable somewhat, the car still rocks back and forth and I was thinking...

    Towing through interstates during Covid.

    This may not be the thread for this section and it may sound stupid or even naive, but I figured that many on here would have a solid answer to my question. If for instance you are pulling a U-haul open car carrier /trailer with a truck from Michigan with Michigan plates to go pick up a race car...

    This may not be for this side of town, but does anyone here from Detroit know the exact address to Chryslers skunk works "Woodward Garage" and if the building is still in existence?

    Valve stem sizes.

    What are the usual stainless steel valve stem sizes on a big block wedge? No time to get to the garage to measure and buying new keepers and forgot what size they were just a couple of years back. LOL.

    Aluminum "steel looking" wheels by Bogart.

    Yeah, if you haven't heard, Hemi-its broke the news to me first a few weeks back on these pretty darn good looking aluminum "Steelies" that will get you closer to doing wheelies. I spoke with Bogart racing wheels and they were very helpful in the information camp. A 15" X 4" will set you back...
