Project B4C - discontinued

Unfortunately the promising Project B4C is in mothballs, and will remain there. You can familiarize yourself with the project here, for nostalgia if you like. There is still some crap from this project on Mark’s lawn, and I hope to get it out of there soon.

Project B4C is back on track

As Mark alluded to in one of his recent posts, our trip out to Charlotte last week came to a halt in Burlington. I won’t spill the details on it in case Mark wants to elaborate on it later, but let me just say that before going on a road trip, never forget to check […]

Transmission would not rev normally when dropping 2nd->1st at WOT, probably slipping
When dropping 2nd->1st at WOT, […]

Project B4C: 1992 Camaro - Prelude

So every now and then I have alluded to the “Camaro project,” so here I am finally giving the backstory to it. To start with, this is Kat’s car! We’ve both loved the 3rd gen Camaro body style, particularly the 90-92’s. On a whim, we started hunting Craig’s List for a car and came across […]
