In our last segment on Body Piercing, we detailed how we began the process of fitting trim such as emblems to panels that never had them installed previously. This time, we continue the process and make everything look perfect.
How hard can piercing body panels for trim be? Wayne Scraba takes you through part one of the process in his new series.
In a past issue, we dug into the basics of rebuilding a set of drum brakes. Why drums? Simple. A large percentage of vintage US-built cars and light trucks came standard with drum brakes on at least one axle – some with drum brakes on all four corners.
Drum brakes – remember them? A few decades ago, they were the norm rather than the exception. And even when disc brakes made their debut, 99% of those cars had drums on the rear axle.
Part Two of Wayne Scraba’s series on installing an automatic transmission continues his advice with a little help from the folks at ATI.
When it comes to installing an automatic transmission, it’s easy to get lulled into thinking: “This is a piece of cake – all I have to worry about is the trans and converter”. Not quite so fast.
In our last issue we looked at the basics of valve lash. We examined a couple of ways to accomplish the job, ranging from the easy-peasy “Exhaust Opening/Intake Closing” (“EO-IC”) method to the more time consuming OEM method.
Need to check valve lash in a fresh cam or new engine? Part 1 of Wayne Scraba’s new two part series will show you how.
In part 2 of Wayne Scraba’s fuel delivery series, he digs deeper into the systems required on multiple-use cars.
Part 1 of Wayne Scraba’s series on fuel delivery options explores some pumps that will work for street AND strip.
