If the weather warms up, I'll bleed the brakes on the yellow car. The calipers don't appear to be leaking, but there seems to be a bit of air in the system. This is a J56 car and the front calipers were replaced by me about four years ago.

----No pics, but I've been working on my latest winter beater. Some of you have seen my old 94 Caprice wagon (with LT1). I had it eleven years and it served me really well. It was approaching 200,000 miles and a lot of small stuff was irritating me. With that though it still showed well. Lee (from the sight and a good friend) found me a customer so down the road it went. I then went up a year and bought a 95 Caprice wagon with 75,000 miles. It needed paint and I couldn't take the wood so off to the body shop for paint. While it was a nice car in many ways it was really dirty, so I stripped the interior completly. It's back now and I'm putting in an SS Impala interior and a few other upgrades. I know I'm going overboard, but I figure, with luck, I'll have it the rest of my life.....Bill S

Definitely start a thread! My first "work car" was a bubbletop police package Caprice with the Kaiser Manhattan rear wheelwells. Great car to cruise through the backstreets of Newark, New Jersey in, back in the late 1990's.

Decided to take some wall art and turn it into something useful. Open element air cleaner with (I'm told) an L88 drop base on the compressor

My "shop" 2 years ago, shortly after we moved in.





Summer of 2020, we spent the entire summer insulating the sides, stepping the front trusses for an overhead door, hanging a ceiling and blowing insulation in and installed a radiant heater. My wife helped me a LOT on this. She even drives the fork lift around with me on a pallet doing the high work. And the fork lift is a manual trans...





This corner was the subject of this weekends work. It's hard to see, but there are 3 white switches over against the outside wall. The back 8' of the building was a previous owners work space and the switch of the lights back there is one of those. One other powers the exhaust fan in the peak and the other an outlet they had in the loft for a radio and party lights. WHY anyone would put the switches way over there has been a mystery an annoyance to me. I have 13 sheets of galvanized pole building siding I brought from my previous shop and decide this weekend was the time to use them up and fix the switch issue.



I pulled the patchwork of sheet rock pieces and extended the wires to the door.




Seems people in the past couldn't make up their mind where they wanted the door, as it appears they moved it not once but twice by the 2 added sections. And look at that professional carpentry...





I had already moved all the equipment from the outside wall and covered behind them yesterday. Today I got this mess put back together. I have enough sheets yet to go beyond the door another 6 feet, but that will wait for another day.

I got my "NOS" tachometer back from Instrument Specialties today. I dropped it off with them at MCACN. Although there aren't any marks to indicate this was ever mounted on a panel, IS said it never could have worked, as the solder on the circuit board overran 2 circuits. No clue if it was an over the counter purchase that was returned for being defective, or a take out from a delivered car as defective. They rebuilt the circuit board, replaced the foam gaskets that hold the cardboard tube for the oil light and calibrated it. Now I know, when I get around to installing it in my car, it will work...
