RE: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own

That's not what's happening to me. What you are describing is normal. It's meant to prevent you from locking the keys in the car. You have to hold the button in when you shut the door if you want it to stay locked.   Oddly enough, all day today mine was back to normal. BTW, the locks are

Re: [Chevelle-list] door lock has a mind of its own

John, Believe it or not, my 68 does the exact same thing.  When I first got the car, it took me awhile to notice that when I locked it, that the doors unlocked when I shut the door.  Wish I had a easy fix but I dont.  Just thought it was odd that someone else has possesed doors!!      Ryan

[Chevelle-list] Metal flake

When my wife picked out the green color for her 1972 Monte Carlo the paint guy instantly said that a lot of metal flake and a slight touch of blue will really bring out the green. He was right, normally I don't care for green, but this with the metal flake added it really stands out. D.R. Jone

I've seen similar to this, although a lot beefier, in use on bobcats and mid-size wheel loaders on construction sites for the past year or so. They are a different brand than Michelin, but they seem to hold up really well so far. Impervious to nails and other common jobsite hazards. I don't know

I recently did some custom pipe bending. Note to self: do not try to hop high curbs in the dark. I crushed both of my chrome tips, which are now oval-shaped instead of round :( It's gonna cost me about $150 for new tailpipes. Bummer. Getting angry in your classic car can be very expensive. -
