It’s a long story and they resolved some of it but we’re still having issues. Someone else on the Tri-Chevy.com forum said something about not bashing a vendor and I do get that but damn it they are very willing to take your cash for the product so they do … Continue reading
Not too sure of the mileage traveled but the first few months of 2016 have definitely been busy so far. We made the run from central Virginia to Jacksonville, Florida to visit with my daughter and her family for an extended week. Certainly had some fun and enjoyed ourselves. We … Continue reading

Ah, a little bit of downtime – thought I would try and get an update posted before the next bell rings and all hell breaks loose again. I am currently sitting in a Micky D’s in a strange city – but they have free WiFi so what’s not to like? … Continue reading
I just finished watching a documentary on Steve McQueen and the making of his movie – LeMans. The name of this is Steve McQueen & LeMans. As anyone who is familiar with the movie would know, I paraphrase one of the most moving lines in the movie as the tag … Continue reading
The Internet can still be a cool place to be sometimes. While browsing around, I found these free T-Bucket chassis plans. They were last updated around 2008 and some of the information such as part numbers might not be correct but the idea is that they give you a good … Continue reading

A quick update on the trailer project. With good weather in the forecast, I was able to make some plans for the trailer and stick to them finally. As I previously mentioned, everything that sits in the trailer has to be placed outside so that I can work on the … Continue reading
Ah, the fun of torrential downpours or actually just non-stop rain. Unless you are under the proverbial rock, you know that the southeast coast has been hammered by rain, floods, high winds and the hurricane out in the Atlantic never really got that close to us. In the middle of … Continue reading

Whether it is a racecar, the RV or your daily ride, the grounding system is as important, if not more important than the positive side of the battery. In fact if we go back to the 40’s, 50’s and early sixties, we would find that some production cars used the … Continue reading
I wrote this article a little over a year ago and as I had just checked out my own RV roof recently, I thought it would be a good idea to bring this post back again. Well, I think my headline says it all. The number one failure of … Continue reading
That question is one that is on-going among sportsman racers of all types. Trailers of course come in all sizes and styles with your imagination and pocketbook sometimes being the only controlling factors regarding them.
