I dunno... I've seen sites like that aimed at webhosts... they just give the
company the chance to respond to any negative comments.


Here, you can suggest that this site add a section called "Body Shops" :)

A lawyer woke up after an operation to find herself in a room with all the

the surgeon responded, "They're fighting a huge fire across the street, and
we didn't want you to wake up and think the operation had failed."

Clint,
I just got home from shopping for a new car, van, SUV, for the spouse and
the Chevy dealer had a Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo in the showroom. Yellow Eagle
1 Goodyears all around. I didn't notice the size but they are making them.
AND, would you believe they are putting a 3.8 liter V-6 in it instead of a
LT-1? I just walked away.

Slander

1 : the utterance of false charges or misrepresentations which defame and
damage another's reputation
2 : a false and defamatory oral statement about a person

[Chevelle-List] Rim sizes

2003-03-29 Thread gm2
Can someone explain the difference in sizes on a rim?  What do the
measurements mean and how can I tell what size will work with my 64 Chevelle
that currently has 14" rims?  Summit Racing seems to have very decent
pricing.

Here are four different size descriptions from www.summitracing.com
regarding Cragar SS Rims:


(crr-61616)   14 in. x 6 in., 5 x 4 1/2 in., 5 x 4 3/4 in., and 5 x 5 in.
triple bolt circle, 2 in. reversed backspacing, chrome plated finish, S/S
Super Sport wheel
Specifications:
* Diameter: 14 in.
* Width: 6 in.
* Bolt circle: 5 x 4 1/2 in., 5 x 4 3/4 in., 5 x 5 in.
* Backspacing: 2 in. reversed
* Lug nut type: .800 in. mag shank
* Includes center cap
* Lug nuts sold separately


(crr-08060)   14 in. x 6 in., 5 x 4 in. bolt circle, 3 1/2 in. back spacing,
steel/aluminum construction, chrome plated, S/S series wheel
Specifications:
* Diameter: 14 in.
* Width: 6 in.
* Bolt circle: 5 x 4 in.
* Backspacing: 3 1/2 in.
* Requires .767 in. shank mag-style lug nuts


(crr-08762)   14 in. x 7 in., 5 x 4 in. bolt circle, 2 3/4 in. reversed
backspacing, chrome plated finish, S/S Super Sport wheel
Specifications:
* Diameter: 14 in.
* Width: 7 in.
* Bolt circle: 5 x 4 in.
* Backspacing: 2 3/4 in., reversed


(crr-61714)   14 in. x 7 in., 5 x 4.5 in., 5 x 4.75 in., and 5 x 5 in.
triple-drilled bolt circle, 4 1/8 in. backspacing, steel/aluminum
construction, chrome plated, S/S series wheel
Specifications:
* Diameter: 14 in.
* Width: 7 in.
* Bolt circle: 5 x 4.5 in., 5 x 4.75 in., 5 x 5 in.
* Backspacing: 4 1/8 in.
* Requires .800 in. shank mag-style lug nuts


Can anyone help me with the differences on these rims?  What should I look
for in width, bolt circle, backspacing (or reversed backspacing), and what
type of lug nuts should be ordered since they have left hand and right hand
threads, and sizes of 5/16 and 1/2.

Thanks,

Gary

[EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Chevelle-List] rip-off body 
shops
I waited for 6 years 
to save for the chance to fully restore my 1968 SS Chevelle I have owned for 
26 years.  In that 6 yrs., I scouted body shops to find the best to fit 
my requirements.  I was met with  statements that the shop only 
did insurance work, or they will never do another restoration again!  
But I was able to find 3 shops in the region who wanted to tackle a full 
restoration.  
 
I chose a guy 
who had a large shop and did mostly restorations.  The owner had a 
day job and had mechanics working the shop in the day and he worked at 
night.  I had 3 yrs. to check out the guys work and he always seemed to 
know about restoration work and the problems associated with overhauling an 
entire classic car.
 
I had an estimate of 
about $6000 for the basic work, excluding any hidden problems 
uncovered.  He said it would take about 6 month to complete, starting 
in Nov 1999.
 
To make a long story 
shorter, it took over a year, I had trouble finding the owner at the shop 
when he said he would be there, the cost ended up at over $11,000. (I had 
him do the interior at an interior shop, so that added about 
$1500.)
 
After I finally got 
him to deliver the car to me, I found the quarters were original, with 1/2 
inch thick bondo over the rustout areas. The agreement was to replace 
them with full quarters, which he charged me 12 hrs labor plus parts 
for each side.   There was still fist-size holes in the backside 
of the quarters, allowing exhaust to get in.  The trim was falling off 
and the new windshield was loose!  Some of the rubber/felt seals I had 
waited so long to have put in were in the back seat, still in the bag! I 
wrote up a list of complaints and gave the guy a chance to correct the 
problems I had found but it was then that several people told me to get the 
car back because the guy was known to remove SS emblems and such to sell, or 
not even give your original car back!
 
I had to find another 
shop fast to determine what was done/not done in order to sue the 1st 
guy.  I was lucky to find a shop up the road from the 1st shop who was 
familiar with his ways and had in fact redone several classic cars for the 
same reason as me!  One guy who got ripped off was a judge!  The 
second shop (Reflections Automotive, Belleville, IL) was 
great in assisting me and even sent a mechanic with me to small claims court 
as an expert witness.  They did 1 or 2 classic cars at a time and they 
were only fill-in work between insurance stuff.
 
These guys took my 68 
apart down to the frame and repaired areas that I wouldn't have thought 
of.  Plus, they took digital pictures of the restoration as proof, and 
I was invited to review my car at any time!  In the end, I had more 
things repaired/corrected than the 1st guy ever would have done.  Door 
windows roll like new, no leaks, trunk like new, etc.  Paint looks like 
factory and all the trim lines up and is secured and tight.  There is 
no place I have found that was missed.
 
So there are a few 
shops in my area still accepting certain types of classic restoration work, 
but on their terms and cost will be up there.  But if you don't get the 
right person or shop on your classic, read the above again.  You will 
end up in some kind of mess like I did.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Cragar SS Rims & front/rear size difference

2003-03-29 Thread Bad66Chevelle454
Gary,

Like Dale said, bigger usually fits better on the back, and besides that, it doesnt have to turn. Another reason is so you can get the best traction in the back...Small in the front, so there is less rolling resistance(Im talking about those tiny pizza cutting kind). But that would be pretty much for drag racing only. Mine have bigger ones in the back, and smaller in the front...but they are the biggest you can fit in the frontI like to be able to turn, and have some tire there for a smoother ride.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Cragar SS Rims & front/rear size difference

2003-03-29 Thread Dale McIntosh
Gary,

My main reason for different size wheels/tire front and rear is stance
and look.  You can generally fit larger/wider wheels/tires on the rear
than the front.  The disadvantange, of course, is you can't rotate your
tires from front to rear and makes the choice of a spare difficult.
Depending on the external mods to a car (or lack of) and overall theme,
the wheel/tire choice can be critical to the presence of the car.  A
relatively stock body/paint many times looks best with the same size
wheel/tire combo, either factory wheels or "classic" wheels like the
Cragar SS.  Those with more mods (like my 67 SS), would, in my opinion,
look out of place with 15" Cragar SS or 15" ralley wheels.

Gary, I don't know where you are getting your rims, but when I bought the
same rims for my Nova, they mounted a tire on one and put it on the car so I
could see what it looked like. I bought them after seeing the one. Maybe the
place will do the same for you if you ask. Worth a shot.

It's always darkest just before the light of day. I'm confident that in a few months we will all be drooling over it.

I'm certainly waiting for some pictures!

[Chevelle-List] Cragar SS Rims & front/rear size difference

2003-03-29 Thread gm2
Thanks to everyone who sent the picture links and the site that allows you
to see different rims on your car.  These will really help me to make a
decision.


Now the next question:

What is the difference between putting the same size rims all the way around
the car or putting a smaller size rim and tire on the front?  I don't think
I would do this, but I have seen it on other cars.

I'm not sure what this does to the suspension or if it hurts the car in any
way.  I currently have 4 drum brakes and I will probably update to front
disc brakes sometime in the future, but not right away.

Any comments on size selection and suspension issues?

Thanks again,

Gary

Does anyone have pictures or links to pictures that show these rims on a 64
or 65 Chevelle so I can see how they look before I buy them.  I would also
be interested in look-a-like rims (American Racing, etc) as long as they are
the Cragar SS style.
