Frosty's Garage Mahal
Well my babies are tucked in for the winter. I still have a lot of clean up to do but I can do that later. The weather has been really great lately so I thought I’d take advantage of it to put the cars away.
However I am willing to bet my kid will want to swap the Hummer for his Silverado sometime around Thanksgiving, forcing me to rearrange everything. -

This light came on in his car, what does it mean?

Indyman Joe has a nine inch under the Dirty Girl. Let's get his opinion on the nine inch. -

Got boost? This is so absurd it’s cool but completely illegal when you can’t even see the road at all! Plus it sounds like a small motorcycle engine, which makes me wonder if the big motor is all show.

To 68 or not !!!
My main reason is keeping it stock looking and because it’s not going to be drag racing , I want that unsprung weight down . And from what I read a 8.5 can be justA strong as a 12 bolt , they are justA hard to find .yes I can have a 9 inch built
But do I really need that much weight in the back of a street car ? -
2027 Hot Rod Power Tour
Book hotels ASAP if you decide to go, even before registration opens, if possible. I guarantee people are already booking hotels closest to each venue right now. -
To 68 or not !!!
In my opinion, $1000 is on the high end for a used 12-bolt diff. So for that much money, it should be a true posi (Eaton limited slip) and in really good working condition. If it is just a core, then it’s too much. I would say $800 or less for an open diff 12-bolt.
Other than keeping the car all GM, what is wrong with a nine inch? Especially if they are possibility more plentiful down under? They are bullet proof rear ends. -
To 68 or not !!!
Guys
I have been hunting for a 10 bolt 8.5 corporate diff or a 12 bolt for the 68
I found a 12 bolt in La for $1000usd
It’s a complete unit but I will be completely rebuilding it .
Question , am I paying too much ?
I know my factory 8.2 bop won’t cut the mustard when I am putting over 500 hp through it , hence wanting to build a stronger diff , but without going to a f-rd 9 inch ! -

Going to have to see if the boss will let me go as this is right on our anniversary 🤣. Would love to go! I’ll need to start planning if this is doable.

Tying up Loose Ends on our '69 LeMans
Finally got those tailight bezels on yesterday morning. Took it to our friend's place again, and had the car up on the lift to remove the bolts from the bumper brackets so it would slide forward enough that we could just slide the old bezels out and put the new ones on without having to take the bumper off entirely, which was a good thing. Then we ran into a ground issue with the tailights after we put them back in, where the rear side markers and the lisence plate light were flashing with the left turn signal, and the left back up light and the rear side markers were flashing with the right turn signal, so we must of did something wrong when we put the lights back in, but our friend was able to check where a ground needed to be on each side and he fixed it. It was just weird how that happened.
I am happy with those bezels though, they complete the stock rear end look of the car.

https://www.hotrod.com/events/hot-rod-power-tour-2027-information
Based on past experience, I would expect registration to open up in early January 2027.
Personally, I am not sure if I am going to do HRPT this year. We will see. I am more interested in doing the POCI convention is Oklahoma. Also a buddy has told me about a smaller cross country cruise from Colorado, Utah, and perhaps Arizona. I am much more excited about that possible trip. The question is when will it be and the cost.
Might I also be so bold as to suggest that our favorite admin/moderator, Ringo, lives in Florida and this would be in his proverable back yard!
