New from American Powertrain is its new HYDRAMAX Hydraulic Clutch System for first-generation Mustangs, which is a bolt-in solution to the tough task of fitting a master cylinder for a hydraulic clutch application.

specialty blasting, Langley, bc the garnet will remove any high ridges in the metal, providing a silky, smooth finish that requires less finishing by the body man, thus saving the customer on body shop labour costs. As a result of its success, Specialty Blasting is the first call many of B.C.’s top hot rod and restoration shops make for cars they build to go to SEMA and major auto shows where they bring home top awards. They have already proven themselves able to work with the most difficult materials such as needed with Morgans, like wood, aluminum and steel. The worst part of Graham’s job is being the bearer of bad news. People buy cars not realizing what is hiding beneath the paint, surprises that are brought to life once everything is stripped away. However, as painful as knowing what the truth may be, customers who use Specialty Blasting have the advantage of knowledge. Hidden damage will always come back to bite you in the butt down the road, be it rust, structural damage or even just a large section of Bondo.

The problem is, this is where some people stop, going through all the trouble to strip every nut and bolt out of a car and missing what may be the most important aspect of stripping down a car, which is peeling away the paint to see just what shape that body really is in. As car guys, they know what needs to be done and what doesn’t.

WEBSITE: WWW.360FABRICATION.COM WHAT THEY DO: FABRICATORS OF WORLD CLASS HOT RODS, MUSCLE CARS AND SHOW CARS THE COMPANY LINE If you build it, they will come. It’s a cheesy cliché, but in the high-stakes world of custom vehicle building and fabrication, it’s also an extremely bold and risky way of thinking. The last five years have not been kind to the hot rod industry, bringing even the biggest and most well known shops in all of North America to their knees. Yet, despite the economy and the custom car industry taking a tanker, Rick and Daryl Francoeur saw opportunity. While others were tightening their belts and lashing down the hatches for the coming storm, the Francoeur brothers were making ready to turn their small custom car business into an empire. We’ve already made light of the big move into their new facility on Peardonville Road in Abbotsford, B.C., a multi-department building that the brothers have built into an assembly line for custom hot rod creations. It seemed risky at the time, but now we’ve seen the success that such a risk has brought to smart business thinking. The fabrication shop is linked to mechanical, body, paint, upholstery, audio and CARSTAR 360 Collision, all under one roof. Customers wanting to build the car of their dreams only need to make one visit, lay down the game plan and watch as their car makes its way through the multiple stages on its way to becoming reality by a professional team, on time and on budget. More than a couple of these fine automobiles have graced our covers and for good reason - they are unique works of art. With the shop’s capabilities, a massive staff of upwards of 40 individuals, and the company’s unique ability to work on not just cars, but boats, trailers, buses, allterrain vehicles, tractors and even helicopters and planes, 360 Fabrication has created a business that is the poster of diversification. Specialists in all fields, led by Daryl’s experience working in the aircraft industry, allow them to not just specialize on exotic cars, but exotic materials as well. It’s a formula that has netted 360 Fabrication a cabinet full of awards, not to mention community recognition
like Top Custom Shop in Canada as voted by Body Shop Magazine, and making the A-List for best body shop by Abbotsford News readers. It all starts with the extremely high standards that the shop holds itself to, along with the resources to back up their word. With uncertainty dominating the news, 360 Fabrication has put itself in a position to not only survive once again, but even grow. While the amount of big-build cars may not be increasing, there are always car enthusiasts looking to do a little work here and there. 360 Fabrication’s multiple departments means that even if a car isn’t making the full run through the facility, there are professionals ready in each department to upgrade a stereo system, restore an old interior, or make some old body panels shine once again. However, 360 Fabrication’s ideal diversity doesn’t just allow them to design, create and finish a high-quality piece in a strictly regimented time frame; it also opens the doors to much more fantastic projects that are breaking new ground in their level of “out of the box thinking” and execution, drawing in customers from all over the continent. A stroll through the shop reveals a candy store of what is capable with a creative mind and the proper resources. Alongside full custom muscle cars and a classic truck having its interior restored to “better than new” condition, one will find some of the wildest creations to ever leave a hot rod shop. Next to the audio division, you’ll find a Mahindra tractor ready for delivery to its customer, rocking a sound system any teenager would be proud to have in their car, featuring a custom install of amps, tweets and subs to keep its owner entertained while cutting the grass

and plowing the driveway. On the far side of the shop, a WWII-era float plane hangs in the rafters, awaiting a full restoration and refit with hot-rodded engines and a full state-of-the-art glass cockpit. Yet this is nothing compared to the classic oneoff bus that sits in the parking lot. Like a real life Autobot, 360 has designed a bus for Red Bull that transforms into a full-size stage complete with all the lighting and audio needed for a major act, and even a luxurious green room for rock stars to prep for a coming performance. Breaking in the speaker system produces musical entertainment to the whole of Abbotsford, even if they are right beside one of the busiest highways in the country. With this kind of experience, being trusted by a who’s who list of VIPs and corporations, why wouldn’t you want to place your future plans in the capable hands of 360 Fabrication? In the case of 360 Fabrication, the saying rings true they did build it, and they did come. As the masters of diversity and the purveyors of high-quality and unique creations, there is virtually nothing that this shop can’t do. To see what 360 Fabrication can do for you, check them out at www.360fabrication.com, and then give them a call at 604-859-3608 or toll-free at 1-855-859-3608, or go see them in person at 31450 Peardonville Road, Abbotsford BC, V2T 6L1.

1966 Shelby GT 350H
By Allen Cheng and Cam Hutchins
A
automatic transmissions were offered (Ford wanted to increase the Shelby Mustang sales for 1966, and automatics were beginning to take over). Out of the 2,378 GT 350s produced in 1966, 1,000 were the specially-striped Hertz cars leased to the Hertz Company with predominantly automatic transmissions. Along with the black cars were red, green, white and blue cars with gold stripes if they did have the “Le Mans Stripes.”
Only 1,000 cars were leased to Hertz, so the program was not the total success it could have been, but the rarity of the cars only adds to their allure. It must have driven Shelby crazy that a company that had 1,000 locations as early as 1955 did not lease many more of these cars.
In the late summer of 2002, Cheng spent a lot of time surfing the web looking for a Shelby Mustang and finally found the right car on eBay. Finding that his future car was actually in Canada already, in High River, Alberta, the price was finally agreed upon after a bunch of negotiating. Picking the car up on the last dry weekend through the mountain passes was lucky, and the work was started to make sure the car was perfect and fully roadworthy.
lmost all car rental agencies have pretty cool cars as part of their fleets, but one has to go back in time when renting a car meant being asked, do you want full-sized or bigger? Carroll Shelby came up with the idea to sell cars to Hertz Rental Cars as part of a Sports Car Club, and painted the first cars Black with Gold “Le Mans”style stripes to match the colours of the Hertz company’s first cars.
But these cars leave an impression. The stunning Black with Gold stripes and the elusive “H” after the name makes these cars so desirable that after Allen Cheng of Langley sold his 427SC Cobra tribute car, the GT 350H was the next car he had to have. Cheng had always loved the cars produced by Carroll Shelby and starting in 1995, spent less than a year building a replicar 427 Cobra SC. After a few years, he sold the Cobra and the desire to have a “toy” to work on, play with and show led him on a quest for a GT 350. The 1965 and 66 Shelby GT 350 had been referred to as a clapped-out race car for the street. The ‘65 and ‘66s had the same race suspensions found on the infamous 1965 R-Models and the beautiful fastback styling of the original Mustang. The only difference between the Street and Race models was the engines. The 1965 models had no backseat to aid in the homologation for racing, so 1966 was also the first year that rear seats and 40 Performance Plus DEC / JAN 2012

The menacing look (or classy, depending on your point of view) of the Black and Gold colour combo can’t be beaten, in my book. This particular car served its rental duties at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It was the 993rd of the 1,000 cars delivered to Hertz. When its rental duties were over, it was sold as a used car at Shelby’s Hi-Performance Motors in the Greater Los Angeles Area. As part of the sale, the Koni shock absorbers (and lowered front A-arms) and Shelby Wood Steering Wheel were specified. Most later 1966 GT350s came with stock shock absorbers and Mustang wood-grained steering wheel. It still retains all the regular GT 350 mods: K-Code mechanical lifter engine, heavy-duty radiator, export brace, Monte Carlo bar, Cobra aluminum intake manifold, Shelby exhaust headers, Shelby Cobra valve covers, Cobra 7-quart
oil pan, larger front anti-roll bar, Shelby hood with scoop, front disc brakes, station wagon 2-inch rear drum brakes, 3.89:1 ratio 9-inch rear end with Shelby under-ride traction bars, functional side scoops and the 1966-only Plexiglas rear quarter windows which replaced the air extractors on the regular Mustang. The only change Cheng made to the exterior is to remove and store the original 14-inch chrome Magnum 500s and replace them with a set of original 15-inch Shelby Cragars (available on 1965 and early1966 GT 350s) that were purchased from a Shelby collector in Florida in late 2002. The frame, body (as it left the Shelby American plant), brakes, transmission, interior and sound system are all bone Shelby stock. No mods whatsoever. The engine is still standard bore, and sports her original special K-Code automatic transmission.

She has been graciously invited, and participated in, the Steamworks Concours d’Elegance, the Kirkland Concours and the new Crescent Beach Invitational Concours d’Elegance.
The vehicle was partially “refreshed” by the last American owner from Montana in 1989. As part of getting the car completely roadworthy, Cheng spent five days carefully wet sanding and polishing the car before he put it on the road. He also replaced the fuel tank, had the carburetor rebuilt (by Darcy at Canadian Carburetors), took the motor apart and replaced the head gaskets and seals, had the seals in the tranny replaced, and rebuilt the rear wheel cylinders before getting her on the road in early 2003. Since then, this Hertz has been driven and shown locally and in the U.S. She has been as far as California Speedway (SAAC-30 in 2005), Infineon Raceway (otherwise remembered as Sears Point for SAAC-35 in 2010) and at many venues in Washington State.

One cool story about this car is the time it went for a track day as part of the Shelby Owners Club, and the previous owner got to go out with Dan Gurney at the wheel. At very high speeds on the oval track, the speed was a little much for the original side scoops and first the left and then the right decided to fly-off . If only a GT 350H is on your “to-do” list, then the Shelby American Automobile Club is an invaluable resource, helping buyers do their due diligence before purchase. The breakdown of the 1,000 Hertz cars (42 percent of all 1966 Shelby GT350s): about 730 Black/Gold (all with Le Mans stripes), the the rest almost evenly broken into the Red, Green, White and Blue colours. There is a White/Gold (originally Blue/Gold) Hertz in Cloverdale. There is also a Blue/Gold Hertz undergoing restoration in Aldergrove. That’s three original Hertz cars in the Lower Mainland of B.C.! Many years went by before Hertz Rentals started to use GT350s again in their rental fleet and only bought 500 of the Classic Black with Gold stripe version coupes in 2006 & convertibles in 2007 that are destined to be the “Pot of Gold” cars down the road.

LeMay
America’s Car Museum Now Open in Tacoma
Story by Gerry Frechette Photos by Author & Sue Phypers

hen Harold LeMay bought his first garbage truck in 1942, he could not have predicted that his company would become one of the largest trash collectors in the United States half a century later. And when he acquired a wrecked Ford Model T and rebuilt it to drivable original condition, only he might have known that it was the beginning of an automotive love affair that would see him own the world’s largest private collection of vehicles, some 3,500 cars and trucks, plus a vast array of
automobilia, stored in 23 buildings in and around his estate east of Tacoma, Washington. One day per year, the public were invited to view the collection, and it was, and remains, one of “the” events for the collector car enthusiast in the Pacific Northwest each year. In the late 1990s, an effort was begun to build a modern museum in the Tacoma area to continue the legacy, and when LeMay passed away at the age of 81 in November, 2000, he knew that his collection would be kept for posterity, and that a large part of it would be able to be viewed most any day of the year. After a lot of hard work and fund raising, at the beginning of June this year, LeMay – America’s Car Museum opened in Tacoma, on a nine-acre site right next to the I5 freeway, FREE CLASSIFIEDS: freeads@rpmcanada.ca EVENT LISTINGS: events@rpmcanada.ca

and the dream was complete. The $60-million, 165-thousand square-foot building is claimed to be the largest automotive museum in the country and third-largest in the world, being able to house some 500 cars, trucks and motorcycles. LeMay’s taste in vehicles knew no bounds, as he owned everything from the classics like Duesenberg and Tucker, to oddball vehicles, to the most prosaic mainstream cars. It didn’t matter to him if a vehicle was in perfect condition or original and a bit worn out; if it represented a part of American automotive history, there was a place for it in his collection, and all of the above can be seen at ACM. Now, there is a place for hundreds of LeMay’s vehicles in one modern and easily-accessible building. Like other museums

FEATURE There is so much more to LeMay – America’s Car Museum, and the official website, www.lemaymuseum.org has all the details. Suffice to say, if you find yourself in the Tacoma or Seattle area, put aside at least half a day to visit ACM, one of the world’s most significant automotive museums, and a fitting tribute to the vision and dedication of a special car collector.
before it, such as the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, not all the vehicles on display are part of the actual LeMay collection, but the large main hall and the three halls directly below it are the primary display areas for his vehicles. On the ramps leading up and down the four levels of the building can be found the special exhibits, the vehicles of which belong to private collections or other museums, and which will be rotated in and out of ACM from time to time. On the day that we visited ACM, the other exhibits included Custom Coachworks, the British Invasion, the Nicola Bulgari Collection, Indy 500 Racing, Ferrari in America, and Alternative Propulsion, so there is something for most automotive tastes, and some incredible vehicles.
