June 29th - Sorry I haven't updated the
site in a couple of weeks, I've been out of town (Chicago, Cincinnati, etc.)
At any rate, on my drive back to Columbus I saw this nice Elky and snapped a
quick picture. -Martin |

June 14th - I couple
of months ago I mentioned that I had seen a Chevelle used in a Cialis
commercial. I try to keep an eye on advertising that uses our beloved
car, and while I don't mind seeing an A-boy pop up here and there to help
promote products, I sometimes cringe when I see something really really
wrong. Take for example an ATT commercial from a couple of years ago.

June 10th - In my most
recent Hot Rod Magazine, one of those annoying subscription cards caught my
attention. Aside from it being a picture of a red '70 Chevelle, what I
noticed most was the headlight treatment. Notice how the usual chrome
bezel has been body color matched. It really gives the front end a
completely new look. Pretty interesting how one small change can
really make a huge impact. |

June 5th - A couple of
weekends ago I drove to NY using the PA Turnpike. I guess I must have
been tired, because it wasn't until I was up at the gate, that I realized
that I was in an EZPass lane and not a cash toll booth. Well, at least
it wasn't as bad as the folks in the picture. |

June 3rd - LED taillights are quickly
becoming one of the most popular upgrades you can do to your car. It's
subtle way of improving the look of the car, and making sure some yahoo
behind you doesn't crunch your rear bumper. A local company,
Shiny-Hiney, is in the business of
improving the look of older cars. -Martin |

June 2nd - So next week is
Chevelle~abration in Nashville
and I'm still not sure I'm going to make it. The big problem is
getting the power steering working. When I had my '70 SS 396 built
several years ago I made the mistake of putting on an entire March
Performance pulleys kit. It never worked right, but since it cost me
$1,400, I had little choice. Last year, the misaligned pulleys wobbled
the front end of the power steering pump loose, causing all the oil to leak
out. The solution from March was to put on one of their remote
reservoir systems from an '87 Sunbird. The problem is that the Sunbird
pump requires an "o-ring" style fitting, while the power steering gearbox on
the Chevelle is flare. The local auto parts stores don't sell those
fittings or that type of hose, so I've got to put together a custom hose.
Luckily they gave me the name of a company here in town called
Power Steering Specialists that has come
to the rescue. Most of their business is big rigs, but they did have
the fittings I needed and were willing to help out a fellow car guy.
It's awesome to know that there are companies out there willing to help
create solutions, not just pass you off when they don't have something to
sell you from a catalog. Thanks to Tony, Richard, Kevin. -Martin |
