Looks like Colorado will start doing the photo radar in construction sites too:

The Charles Mather Highway Safety Act allows the state to use photo radar in construction zones.  Mather was hit and killed by a semi-truck in August 2006, while doing construction work on I-25 south of Colorado City.  Signs warning of photo radar use will be required to be posted four hours before construction begins.  It can only be used during active construction work.  Half of the money collected from construction zone fines will go into a work zone safety fund.

The fines for moving violations like careless driving, driving in the passing lane and not using your blinker also increase.  Instead of a minimum $10 fine, starting July 1 it will be $150.

We used DAS a few years ago to get a convertible GTO from New York to New Mexico. It was inclosed and on the top rack so nothing would drip on the white convertible top. Cost about 1 grand and arrived just fine.

Heres a link to the pictures of the 57 Belvedere that was buried outside the courthouse in Tulsa Oklahoma. It was unearthed Friday

Happy Easter to all...stay safe

Ok I know this subject was discussed here in 2006 and 2005 but this is a new year and the price of regular gas keeps going up. E-85 seems to be growing in use and yes, Indy cars have started to run it with no apparent problems. New cars are being made now to be "flexible fuel" friendly but is anybody here using it in their older engined hotrods and if so, what are the changes you've had to make and hows it doing. We don't have it here in New Mexico yet but I know its coming

Does anyone have the Hagen Hidden Hinges installation video that I could get a copy of. I am installing a set of Rocky Hinges in my 38 chevy and the directions supplied with the Rocky hinges are not real specific. They have hand-drawn pictures and 3 photos that are not real clear. Im hoping the video will give me a better idea of how the hinges are installed.  
Thanks,
The Guy who has NEVER built a car before

These are from Rocky Hinge and yes they do have the brass bushings in them. I guess the next step is to tack weld them in and start fitting the doors. Also will be getting the back door hinges soon. They will  be suicided

Ok Guys,
I've got the hidden hinges ruffed in for the front doors. Heres a link to the pictures. Any advise, comments, ect will be greatly appreciated. I'm VERY new at this.
Bob

Yes please post pics....I'll take all the advice and help I can find :-)

I'm just a beginner car builder. This is the first time I have ever taken ANY car apart down to the frame and started over. We live in sunny New Mexico and besides the 38 we have a 1969 Camaro and a 1966 GTO. The 38 will have the original 350 motor from the Camaro, Heidt's independent front and rear suspension, rack and pinion steering, 7004r tranny and a few other goodies. I'm only doing this once so I want to do it right!!!!! Some pictures are located at:

I really do appreciate the opportunity to pick everyones mind here and get all the good info that you guys have. Someday maybe i'll know something that will help someone else.  

Im working on a 38 Chevy Master Deluxe street rod. Im looking at putting in hidden hinges on all four doors. Does anybody have any recommendations. Ive seen Protocols on Ebay and I know there is Hagan and Autoloc. Im a beginner at this but have a lot of good help in the area.
Any info would be good
