MUSTANG MIKE B
ED YESSAIAN One of the greatest things about the Muscle Car community in our area is how people are always there to help you out when you need a hand. It’s a great feeling knowing how many selfless individuals have your back, should you ever need them. That’s why when DJ Shawn Sanga called me to let me know about a friend of ours, Mike Travers, who
was recently diagnosed with cancer, I was quick to offer my support and assistance. Sanga came up with an awesome idea, to have a car show that would raise funds to help the Travers family through this difficult time. For those that know Mike Travers, you know he is one of those guys that will help anyone, anytime, with anything, so it was no surprise that so many people joined forces to come together on his behalf. This was most
evident in the unbelievable outpouring of raffle prizes that would send a ton of people home with some very generous winnings. Sanga started his plans by searching for a venue that could support such an event. It wasn’t long before he secured the Sandown Police station, which had a huge parking area, as well as a field beside it, and a family member’s farm not too far down the road. As it turns out, this was just enough room for the 111 cars, trucks, motorcycles, and
Junior Dragsters that showed up to support Mustang Mike and his family that consists of himself, his wife and four small children. The event was scheduled to begin at 10am but by 8:30 friends, family, and multiple car clubs had already started pouring in. Participants worked tirelessly to add

E BENEFIT SHOW NO ONE SHOULD FIGHT CANCER ALONE some final details and cleanups to their sparkling rides, competing for the awards that were generously donated by “Mr Muscle Car” Nick Cincotti. Later in the day the trophies were presented and the following people took home the highly coveted Mustang Mike trophies…

Scarlett- 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air This was hands down one of the most enjoyable events I have seen in a really long time. It was an amazing and heartwarming gesture by Shawn Sanga to assemble a team with very little notice and put on such a meaningful event. Seeing Mike Travers pull into the show with his SVT COBRA really and truly touched my heart because if anyone deserves this kind of love and support it is Mike. With so many people behind him now, there is no doubt that heading forward, Mike travers will kick cancer’s ass!!
Best of Show- Leon and Paulette

All Wheels Extravaganza By JIM WEICHERDING These are exciting times for DJ Car-Guy Productions, LLC. The owner operator, Richard George, started the company 6 years ago with the idea that he could bring together his two hobbies of being a DJ while also collecting classic cars. He thought of it as a part-time job for his retirement years. However, it has grown more than he had originally hoped for.
Rocky Point Clam Shack July 2; July 8 West Shore Health Center (New); July 9 Antonio’s Restaurant (New); July 16 “Classics By The Sea” at Fort Getty, Jamestown; July 22 GM & Mopar Show; July 22 National Doughboy Show at Shore Dinner Hall, Westerly; July 23 the 3rd Annual Lydia Taft House Car Show in Uxbridge, Ma; July 29, Pond Pub
The DJ experience was initiated when Richard collected vinyl records that resulted in a collection of well over 30,000 45 RPM records and several thousand albums. His main focus is on Rock’n Roll, Doo Wop, and Rhythm and Blues. The number and size of shows and cruise nights has increased over the years. This year there are over 40 weekend car shows scheduled and 7 cruise nights. DJ Car-Guy productions now includes two other DJ’s who assist with two cruises and are in training for some shows next year. In July, DJ Car-Guy will be hosting the following shows: Finns Harbourside July 1, Happy Birthday USA at

imports and special interest vehicles. Rich is particularly proud of the fact that DJ Car-Guy Productions does more than just DJ and Host a show. He provides a total service for his clients that includes marketing their show, assisting with trophy categories, flyers, forms for registration and more. DJ Car-Guy Productions will expand next year to include DJ services beyond car events to include anniversary parties, birthday parties, backyard barbecues, 50’s/60’s/70’s parties, holiday parties, and weddings. To accommodate these new services, other DJ’s will be added. The All Wheels Extravaganza event this month is a strong indication of what can happen when auto enthusiasts put their minds together and work together for a great cause. This venue will benefit the kids at Meeting Street School located in Providence, Rhode Island. A special thanks to George at A Custom Car Stereo for all of his help with promoting and
providing this event with all of the trophies. Jim Weicherding will also be appearing with his very popular Giant Sized, Kids Safety Dinosaur Balloon
Attraction, Buckleupallofus, and passing out Bucky Cruisin’ Safety Coloring Posters and Stickers to all of the kids for free. We welcome everyone to attend and have a great time while helping to
raise money for an excellent charitable cause on Sunday, July 30th, 2017. Hope to see all of you there.

There’s really no other felling like taking delivery of your first Mustang or Muscle Car, especially when you’re in your early teenage years. The first time you lay eyes on that aggressive stance, the first smell of the leather interior, the first feeling of that rumble that happens after your first turn of the key. Every one of us can recall what seemed like the greatest day of our life when we got behind the wheel of our very own piece of American History. For Jason Pjojian of Cranston RI, YOUR INCOME that amazing sense of ownership and pride came to YOUR reality this pastIS summer when he CREDIT got his hands on his immaculate 1997 SVT COBRA.
No Credit? Bad Credit? Ed Yessaian
NO PROBLEM!
Any Credit Any Budget We Can Help
Jason is the third owner of the car, but both of the first two owners were ridiculously obsessed with keeping it clean, garaged, and well maintained. As of this article the car only has 34,000 miles and doesn’t seem to have a single chip, scratch, or fingerprint anywhere on it. Jason credits the car’s current appearance and brilliant shine to his father Bob Pjojian, who shared many of his detailing secrets. Bob is currently in search of a new 2015 Mustang GT Convertible, which will be his fourth Mustang. So we know that Jason has a great role model to follow.

All Etch can see is the moonlight shining above the thick tree tops on both sides of the roadway and what his GTO headlights show ahead of him through his windshield. He reaches down and turns on his car stereo and keeps it low enough to hear, but not loud enough to annoy him, while he attempts to calm himself down and sit back into his driver seat and just cruise. An approaching set of headlights is now unsettling and starting to make Etch nervous. “What now?” The approaching vehicle is just a caravan with teenagers inside traveling well above the speed limit. Etch flashes his headlights to get the driver to slow down knowing very well that behind him are a lot of police vehicles searching high and low for his classic GTO. As the caravan nears his muscle car, Etch sees the driver throw an empty beer bottle at his vehicle and watches as it soars over the hood of his GTO. Etch hammers the brakes hard and swerves to the side of the back road with a cloud of sand swirling in the night air around him. The craravan pulls a U-Turn and starts to drive back towards the OUTLAW GTO stopped on the side of the road. Etch doesn’t know what to make of the situation but he does know that there were at least 5 teenagers packed into that caravan. He also knows that
if he decides to take off that there is no way in hell that a caravan would be able to keep up with a built GTO with nearly 800 horsepower tucked under the hood. Etch sits and watches in his rear view mirror as the caravan slowly drives towards his stopped GTO. The caravan pulls up behind the OUTLAW GTO and comes to an abrupt stop. The doors swing open and Etch exits his classic muscle car driver side and stands straight up to see how this plays out. “What is your problem idiot? You have a death wish, or something?” asks, the teenaged caravan driver. “Hey, he cant run away guys. He has to do his walking with a cane.” Etch just stands next to his car and watches as the other teenagers start walking towards the back of his GTO. The caravan driver steps up face-to-face with Etch. He could smell the alcohol on his breath. Etch smiles, and with one swing of his right arm, he punches the teen square in the face with his right hand. The teenager hits the ground like a ton of bricks. He is out cold. The other teens run towards their fallen buddy and stare up at the six foot two and two hundred pound Etch. He hasn’t left his standing position next to the driver door. One of the other teens quickly stands up after checking on his knocked out friend and takes a swing at

Etch. Etch ducks and comes up with an uppercut punch to the punk’s chin. His feet leave the ground and then his body falls on top of his passed out buddy already laid out on the road. “Who’s next?” asks, Etch. Another teen lunges at Etch, but Etch reaches out with his left hand to the teens forehead and squarely drops a hard right to the punk’s face sending him back to the ground on top of his two knocked out friends. The other two teens start to run away down the dark roadway tripping over themselves disappearing into the darkness. Etch looks down at the three teens out cold on the road and smirks. “I may not be able to walk very fast, or run, but I can still punch like a pile driver.” Etch opens the driver door, tosses his cane in the back seat and sits down in the drivers seat. He sees flashing lights approaching from a distance behind his parked GTO. “Maybe those punks can buy me some time,” said, Etch. He turns the key and fires up the OUTLAW.

How to avoid hot weather automotive breakdowns
When the weather warms, many people take to the outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and rising temperatures. Summer road trips or vacations are the norm, but it is important to realize that hot weather can take its toll even on a new, well-maintained vehicle.
High temperatures can cause all sorts of damage to a vehicle, from zapping battery power to overtaxing the cooling system. Recognizing potential hot-weather risks and performing routine checks on the vehicle are the keys to keeping vehicles in top form.
BATTERY Excessive heat can shorten the life of a battery because it causes battery fluid to evaporate more quickly. This, in turn, can 20| Motorhead Magazine - July 2017
CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE
damage the internal structure of the battery. AAA reports that car battery issues are the most common breakdown calls.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to top off a battery with distilled water if it is the kind that requires it. Low-maintenance batteries may not have
filler caps and will not require water. Inspect the battery for corrosion and leakage of battery acid. This could be a sign that the battery is getting old and will need to be replaced.
COOLING SYSTEM Cooling systems work hard to keep the flow of air to the engine and prevent it from overheating during warm seasons. Compromised cooling fans or lack of coolant can be troublesome. To avoid overheating, check coolant levels before getting on the road. In addition, have the cooling system
checked by a trained mechanic prior to the summer driving season. It’s a small price to pay to avoid extensive engine damage from overheating.
TIRES Hot weather causes the pressure inside of tires to rise. Overinflated tires can wear down prematurely or result in blowouts. The Car Care Council recommends checking tire pressure routinely in the summer, when tires are cold. Follow the guidelines in the owner’s manual for recommended air pressure. Look for improper tread wear, weak spots or other tire damage that may end up causing flats.
FLUID LEVELS Hot weather can put extra demand on all fluids and engine components. Check transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and engine oil levels. Top off or change when necessary.

We have leftover paint, thinners, antifreeze, oil, you name it! Sure, most of our local retailers such as an AutoZone or Advance would be apt to recycle a limited amount of our oil change remainders as long as it is “clean” and without any harmful chemicals added in. But when asked for further recycling needs, more retail stores can not fully satisfy the consumer’s every need based upon company allowances and restrictions which leads some individuals into the option of causing harmful dumping and toxicity.

59 Chevrolet Impala Korean War Veteran Still Cruising with Valor in His Mint ’59 Chevy Impala By KAYLA CONTI From 1950 to 1953 the United States of America was aiding South Korea in their war against North Korea upon their invasion. Walter Bienieki is one of the many American soldiers who put their lives at risk defending America and its ally. When Walter returned to the States, he had bought a 1950 Ford Coupe as his daily driver. Aside from serving in the military, he worked throughout Rhode Island and Massachuse�s as an insurance adjuster for Har�ord Insurance Company. Walter was always a classic car enthusiast-and his 1959 Chevrolet Impala proves just that. The Impala was purchased sight unseen from a man in Florida in 2007, a�er regre�ully selling his 1960 Ford Sunliner at a car show. When the exhaust fell off while the vehicle was being removed

from the tow truck, Walter realized some major work had to be done to get this car up to his standards. The pictures he was sent before the purchase didn’t show the rust and rot in the floors and trunk. Over the years, Walter brought the Impala to different shops throughout Glocester, RI to repair the body of the vehicle. It was reupholstered at D.A.’s Auto Top on Route 44 in Chepachet, RI. In 2011, Walter then made the decision it was time for an engine rebuild. Conti’s Auto Service & Motorsports rebuilt the engine and restored the vehicle from the firewall forward, media blasting, prepping and painting all the under hood components as well as the engine. Nowadays you can find Walter at a local car show or cruising the streets of Glocester in his red Chevy, living the American dream.

Birds may be chirping and flower buds opening to the sunlight, but for many outdoor enthusiasts, the arrival of warm days and extra hours of sunlight means they can hit the trails once more. Many take to the trails on the back of their favorite “toys” that have been gathering dust in the garage all winter long. All-terrain vehicles, or ATVs, are affectionately known as “quads” and have dominated the off-roading market since three-wheel varieties were deemed safety risks. ATVs come in a variety of types and motor sizes, and can be customized for riders of different ages. Utility terrain vehicles, or UTVs, have the ability to carry 42| Motorhead Magazine - July 2017
things along and can generally accommodate more than one rider. Such vehicles are becoming more coveted among outdoor enthusiasts. UTVs may be a smart choice for hunters or campers who need to carry gear into remote areas. ATVs and UTVs can be great fun for the entire family. However, they can be hazardous if the vehicles are not

functioning and in good repair prior to the first excursion. Whether the vehicle is new or older, owners should take the time to inspect and troubleshoot potential problems.
TIRES As with any vehicle, tires should be properly inflated according to the specifications in the owner’s manual. Ensure there are no slow leaks before taking the ATV out, and replace tires if necessary.

OILS AND FLUIDS Take the time to check fluid levels before going out. If it has been quite some time since the most recent oil change, make that part of your seasonal preparation. Be sure to replace the oil filter as well. If this task is too challenging, bring the ATV or UTV to an automotive shop.
FUEL Smell the gas in the tank before taking to the road or trails. Gas can spoil if it is not treated with stabilizer when the vehicle is left to sit. Drain the fuel and start with fresh gas, as bad gas can cause engine trouble.
BATTERY A dead battery can be a real downer for riders enjoying the great outdoors. Battery tender products are a good idea for those who typically store their ATVs for longer than a week. Be sure a battery is the right size and type for the vehicle, especially when purchasing a used ATV or UTV.
VISUAL INSPECTION When looking at the ATV, check for holes, corrosion, tears, and other damage to fuel lines, CV boots and other connections on the vehicle. Fix them promptly and before going out for the season.

Losing the ability to drive and get around is one of the most challenging aspects of growing older for seniors. This loss of independence can result in loneliness, depression and isolation. Often seniors have to rely on family to take them places, leaving them at the mercy of a friend or relativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. Ridesharing services such as Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, and many others can fill the transportation void for older adults and help them regain their lost independence. Many traditional paratransit services (door-todoor transit, often limited to those over 65 and disabled) may be less convenient than ridesharing services, and it may be challenging to find a company that services rural areas. Plus, reservations may need to be made a day in advance, with limited drop-off locations available. That makes it hard for seniors to make spontaneous plans, again taking away some of their independence. But flexible ridesharing services may provide the flexibility seniors are hoping for. Connecting with ridesharing services requires only a cursory education in mobile technology. According to a recent report from the Consumer Electronics Association, 46 percent of senior households have smartphones and 40 percent have tablets. Many seniors are becoming more tech-savvy, meaning they have the wherewithal to navigate apps and websites that can connect them with a ride. And if they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, a quick primer from a young friend or relative can stoke their confidence. Before engaging a ridesharing service, seniors should familiarize themselves with how such services work and take steps to ensure their safety. ¡ Many ridesharing services are linked directly to a credit card account. Passengers should not have to pay in cash. If the driver requests it, this should raise a red flag. Report the driver to the service. ¡ Confirm that the driver matches the profile and the vehicle that was indicated on the ride app. Never get in the car unless there is verification. ¡ Ask for an estimate regarding the cost of the trip and if those costs can increase considerably during the ride. Budget-conscious seniors should avoid services whose rates can fluctuate dramatically after riders get in the vehicle.

TERMINATOR
Performance Dyno hosts a Civil War of Ford By ED YESSAIAN In 2003 Ford introduced a version of the SVT COBRA that forever changed the world of Mustang Performance. With a drastically underrated 380hp the car had more potential than any other model preceding it. Even today, almost 15 years later, the 2003 Cobras are still holding their own on the streets and strips, with some owners pumping 850-900hp through the factory engine block. Known as the Terminator, the cars lived up to their code names and had very few formidable opponents with their greatest
rival coming from their own family tree, when in 2007 Ford reintroduced the iconic Shelby GT500. The Shelby GT500, with its Supercharged 5.4 liter engine was another game changer in the Ford Performance world. With 500hp and 480 �/lbs of torque it quickly established itself as the new “King of the Road”. A�er a few model years with considerable success, Ford once again blew the roof off the place when in 2013 the Shelby GT500 rolled off the assembly line with a supercharged 5.8 liter engine that was rated at 662hp but as usual, this was a fairly underrated estimate as some factory stock cars produced as much as 25-30 more horsepower than Ford quoted the masses. At this point in time many of the SVT COBRA guys and girls had mastered the art of modifying and tuning their cars and they too were in the same horsepower ballpark as the new Shelby GT500. So with this in mind, Performance Dyno in Loudon, NH decided to set up a friendly competition between the two rivals, to see in fact, who is the true king of the horsepower wars. And on Saturday morning April 29th, it went down, with the following Ford freaks walking away with bragging rights…
4th Place- Adam Tanner - 2003 Cobra- 598rwhp- This has always been one of my favorite 2003 Cobra’s based on its extreme rarity. Not only is it finished in the rare Mineral Grey that you almost never see but it is also a spoiler delete car which is even more unique. Power upgrades start with a 2.3 Whipple, Accufab thro�le body, and upgraded set of pulleys. The amazing scream of the exhaust comes from Mac long tubes, Pypes mid-pipe, and Bassani cat-back. A few suspension upgrades help keep the car planted on the road courses so it can simply

OR VS GT500
ord Performance walk away from those pesty Corve�e guys. 3rd Place- Rob Dunlap- 2013 Shelby GT500- 679rwhp- Rob’s Shelby put out some serious power with just a handful of simple modifications. Exhaust, cold-air intake, and a Performance Dyno tune took the already impressive stock numbers to just under 700rwhp, in a car that could still be driven every day in comfort. 2nd Place- Gary Dejulio- 2003 Cobra- 680rwhp- Gary’s 10th Anniversary car is by far one of the cleanest examples of this generation that I have ever seen AND it’s driven pre�y frequently so you know he has a very strict cleaning regimen with the car. I’ll be featuring a full report on Gary’s car in this month’s issue but for now a brief overview consists of a 2.9 Whipple, full exhaust upgrade, fuel system upgrade and a Tremec T56 Magnum. There was so much to list on this masterpiece that I just had to give Gary a detailed article to share the journey that took him to 680rwhp. 1st Place- Mike Virgn- 2013 GT500- 726rwhp- My li�le buddy Teddy Pearl did a pre�y in depth feature article on Mike’s Shelby, aka The Exorcist, in last month’s issue. Starting with a ported TVS blower, a VMP thro�le body, and a JLT intake, the car made some pre�y impressive numbers from a pre�y short list of modifications. At the end of the day, Mike’s 726rwhp was all that he needed to win the showdown at Performance Dyno but I was also informed that there will be a pre�y significant bump in those number by the time the Fall Dyno Day rolls around in October. Mike wouldn’t give us any clues as to what he was planning but with the cooler fall air, I’m be�ng we’ll see very close to 800rwhp when the latest list of upgrades is complete.

BAD BLUE 502:
By LAURYN “HOTWHEELS” VERNANCIO Emotions are anything but “blue” in this big and bad 502 power-planted first generation Chevrolet Camaro. This gorgeous ride is a beautiful reminder of a true love story that held an unbreakable bond between Kristin and her husband Rick Spotts. Rick had actually passed in August of 2015 due to mesothelioma and it was his dream to have this car one hundred percent complete and in showroom condition with a strong power band. It was completely up to Kristin to maintain his mindset and as time grows she not only plans to keep the current modifications but also to build his dream in his honor. Being a Florida Vehicle, this Camaro had a strong body with no signs of rust and was ready to roll off with a roar of performance. It originally gained control right out of the box with a factory 396 but was later swapped for higher horsepower ratings with a ZZ 502 cubic engine rating at 600HP. It was also professionally balanced and blueprinted as part of a fresh rebuild. The fuel system was fired up by a F.A.S.T. EFI fuel injection system with a super electric fuel pump. Edelbrock heads and a manifold mounted the top of the block as an 54| Motorhead Magazine - July 2017

COP CAR By JIM WEICHERDING When you think of classic cars and trucks I’m sure that the last thing on your mind is a Classic Cop Car. Like most of us, our mind jumps to our favorite classic car or truck, not cop cars. Well, this article is about those classic cop cars and those of us who think they are so cool to see cruisin down the road and rolling into a classic auto show and cruise night.

I am featuring two awesome classic cop cars in this special Readers Rides article. One is a 1986 Ford Mustang California Highway Patrol (Special Service Package) Fox Body Mustang owned by Roger Fortune. Roger is also the owner of Fox Nutz Stangs located in Burrillville, Rhode Island. His California Highway Patrol Cop Car is one of only 266 Vehicles manufactured with this package.
Roger found this badass Mustang in New Jersey where it spent numerous years tearing up local drag ways. Drag racers loved these light weight vehicles and the added horsepower due to the police builds. This cop car comes equipped with a 306 Iron Head GT40 intake mass air flow converted, full length headers, FlowMaster dumps, TKO 3550 transmission, aluminum driveshaft, driveshaft loop, welded axle tubes, 456 spooled rear end, drag shocks and struts as well as drag rear sway bar system with torque boy reinforcements. Roger collected all original CHP decals, lights and equipment including the K Band Radar Equipment only available in the 1986 California Highway Patrol Cars. Fox Nutz Stangs installed brand new interior and equipment right here in Rhode Island. Roger 60| Motorhead Magazine - July 2017

is a long time mechanic and body man. If you need anything done Fox Body related then this is your man. Send him a friend request on Facebook at Fox Nutz Stangs. Roger loves talking Mustangs. Ronnie Bonner owns the 1990 Texas Department of Public Safety Patrol Car. This Mustang comes equipped with a 5.0 engine, 5-Speed transmission, 3.08 gear ratio rear end with posi. Has only 98 thousand original miles which is rare for a Texas Patrol Car, or any cop car for that matter. This cop car comes with a slick top roof and never had overhead lights. Other than a few bolt ons, this car is completely original. The lights, siren, radar system, scanner, CB and more are all original to this vehicle and everything works. Even the titanium cloth interior is all original. Roger and Ronnie are great guys and have a passion for Fox Body Mustangs. If you see them at a car show, or cruise night stop by and say “Hi”. They have a lot of stories about these cool Classic Mustang Cop Cars and I love hearing them myself. Check them out! You’ll be glad you did.

When perusing through your stash of goods on top off your toolbox and shelves, you might want to keep one basic question in mind. “How long have I had this?” One of the most prominent contaminants that will unfold right before your eyes which can be a dreadful harm to your vehicle is hydroscopic fluids. What does hydroscopic mean? Hydroscopic describes something that will readily take up and retain moisture. A common hydroscopic fluid that would cause quite a conundrum is brake fluid. When brake fluid absorbs moisture, the boiling point of the fluid becomes lower and will cause the fluid to compress less. Moisture within your braking system will give the fluid the ability to limit your braking power, and in turn rust out your brake lines and all necessary hardware and components. Being a New Englander during the winter months will accelerate your fluid’s water-sucking habits and this is why it is discourage to keep larger containers on your garage shelf.

12 VOLT NEWS MARINE GPS and TRACKING Part 2
GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. A Custom Car Stereo Center
Marine Tracking systems is an awesome way of protecting a Big Investment. The marine tracking system is designed to call up to 8 phone numbers to alert owners in the event of high water in the bilge, low battery voltage, loss of shore power, smoke or intrusion on the vessel. Wireless relays can be added to control any AC or DC powered devices onboard with a key fob or remotely over the phone. Call the vessel a few hours ahead to turn on the air conditioning or start the ice maker so it’s full when a day of fishing is planned. These relays can also be used to activate an external siren and even flash the vessel’s lights when intrusion is detected. Some Marine Tracking systems offer surveillance offering local and remote access to cameras on the vessel, using any computer with an internet connection or Smart Phone. The system can also record snap shots and video clips to the website in the event of motion detection, or a specific event, and send text messages or emails with the clip to users. Users can also login to a website to view snap shots or video clips as well as watch live streaming video off the vessel. In addition, Marine Tracking Systems offer the following:
SAFETY With Marine Tracking, your boat is not just protected from theft, it can even be a safer vessel for you and your family. A Marine tracking unit can be configured to notify you by pager or cell phone of loss of battery or shore power, and bilge pump failure. You receive this critical information in time to be proactive and take appropriate measures. Even Boat and Jet Ski Rental companies can have a Marine tracking device configured to keep their fleet in predefined boundaries, and have the ability to quickly locate their assets.
REDUCE THEFT OR UNAUTHORIZED USE The technology enables the recovery of stolen equipment and identifies unauthorized use, reducing a Company’s exposure to risk and potentially lowering your insurance costs.
WATERCRAFT FLEET PROJECT MANAGEMENT Reduce time and costs of equipment transportation by knowing exactly where your assets are. We enable your company to more intelligent project planning by scheduling equipment maintenance, fueling and transport according to actual usage and location data. Features unique to a Marine Tracking Unit include location by latitude and longitude and Waterproof enclosure, stainless hardware and auxiliary float switch. For more information on a Marine Tracking System contact A Custom Car Stereo System.

Making sure what’s under the hood - and under the chassis - is in excellent condition is important. So, too, is safeguarding against damage to the exterior of a car or truck. One of the ways to protect against environmental damage is to wax the 68| Motorhead Magazine - July 2017
vehicle. Bird droppings, rain, salt, and sun can take their toll on a vehicle, and waxing can help combat these often inevitable environmental factors.
scratches and dullness. Furthermore, waxing increases resale value at tradein time and can make it easier to clean vehicles.
The experts at Popular Mechanics say that, even though modern paint jobs have improved considerably in recent years, wax formulations have improved as well. Both can work wonders with regard to defending against color erosion,
The consumer advocates at Angie’s List recommend that vehicles be waxed not less than twice a year. However, many detailers advise drivers to have their vehicles waxed once every three months, or one time per season.

In addition to protecting a vehicle from the elements, waxing provides the following benefits. · Deep shine: Wax is the easiest way to make a vehicle look brand new again. While a carnaubabased wax may be recommended, many synthetic waxes are now available, and such products provide excellent shine capabilities as well. · Fills in scratches: While wax will not remove scratches, it can fill in shallow scratches to make them less visible. · Reduces friction: Car wax smooths the surface of the paint and will reduce the friction between debris and the car’s exterior. This means debris will be more likely to slide right off than cause paint
to chip. · Catches contaminants: Airborne contaminants will be trapped in the wax rather than settle into paint and etch the
car or truck. A number of tests can indicate when a car needs a new coat of wax. The water-beading test is one such test. If the water beads up nicely while washing or during a light rain, the wax is still performing. If the water runs in large “sheets,” it’s time for a new coat of wax.
Drivers can conduct the towel test as well after the car is washed and completely dried. The resource How To Auto offers guidance on how to perform this test: Fold a 100-percent cotton terry cloth towel until it’s hand-sized and thick. Apply firm pressure to the car’s surface and twist the cloth back and forth in a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction. If you hear a squealing noise, then it’s time for a wax job. Before waxing, the vehicle should be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Afterward, work in a shady area. Work carefully, but do not go so slowly that the wax dries too quickly. Do not apply the wax too heavily; a little goes a long way. Try to keep it even during application. Buff the wax with a microfiber towel when done.
