Charity Classic Car Shows

JIM WEICHERDING

I remember years ago when I was first asked to showcase one of my classic muscle cars in a local car show in the community of Burrillville, Rhode Island. I parked my jet black, 1969 Pontiac GTO down the street from what appeared to be a gathering of classic cars and trucks in a vacant parking lot on a warm spring afternoon. I walked over to those vehicles just to check out an antique Chevrolet parked with another couple dozen vehicles. One of the classic car owners ran up to me and told me to drive my GTO into the parking lot and pop the hood. I was a little surprised by the suggestion because my GOAT was not even ten years old yet and only had about 20,000 miles on it at the time.

I decided to walk back to my Pontiac and pull it into the parking lot with the other vehicles. I asked if there was a fee, or a charge to be parked there, never having attended anything like this before. They replied with a simple, “No”.

Quite a few years have passed since that day and things have evolved and changed dramatically since then. Now, 90% of the Classic Auto Shows I attend are generating funds for charities and community causes so there is a fee, or a charge to attend.

Believe me, I’m totally fine with that and I’m sure most of you reading this article are fine with that too. You must be.

I see hundreds of you attending these venues on any given weekend across the region.

I think it’s great that we can all showcase our rides and hang out together while benefiting charities and community causes at the same time. These agencies and organizations do not always have fundraising options like these events to help benefit kids and families who need our help.

I actually started writing feature articles in Motörhead Magazine nearly seven years ago about charity car shows titled (Cruisin For A Cause), because I wanted to help heighten awareness about these charities and community causes involving classic auto shows, classic auto clubs and organizations hosting these venues for those reasons.

I want to remind our readers that I am always available to write feature articles about your charity classic car and truck shows and cruise events to help your causes. Please feel free to email at jwpisces14@aol.com with Charity Car Show Event in the Subject Box in case it ends up in my spam folder. I can’t guarantee that every charity car show event will make it into a feature article in the magazine but I will sure try to make that happen for you. Doesn’t hurt to try, so please send me info and I’ll take it from there.

Have a great Cruisin Season from all of us here at Motorhead Magazine and hope to see you at a Classic Auto Show and Cruise Night soon.

Buckle up! Hoods up! Pick up! a copy of Motörhead Magazine at my Showcase Pick Up! Truck.

TEN SECOND T ED YESSAIAN

Mike Gerry’s 1986 Turbo Buick

Its funny how one random news story can trigger certain childhood memories, which then leads to other automotive related tangents as my mind wanders through the many awesome experiences that occurred during my 43 year existence. With the internet buzzing about the recent closing of the historic Englishtown Dragway, the first thing that immediately came back to me was one of my favorite events of all time- Mustangs vs Grand Nationals. This event took place during the early 90’s, one of the greatest automotive eras of all time, as Muscle Car performance finally regained its momentum after a depressing mid to late 70’s emission based era. It was an event that basically formed my lifelong love-hate relationship with the Turbo Buick cars, mostly because I could just never seem to defeat one at Englishtown. The Buick Grand National and its undercover badass little brother the T-Type, were just simply the most sinister competitors I ever went up against. In bone stock form, these cars made short work of Mustangs, Camaros, and even Chevrolet’s flagship Corvette.

Take this already deadly platform and tweak a few things and the Turbo Buicks became simply unstoppable, just ask Mike Gerry who owns a handful of them including a low ten second 1986 T-Type, that not only performs well but is immaculate inside and out, which is quite impressive for a car that has spent it’s entire life in New England. From the outside your only clues that Mike’s T-Type has been modified is the intimidating stance given

by Metco suspension and a set of race wheels with Mickey Thompson tires at each corner. A trained eye can pick out the 6 point roll bar and even the

fiberglass bumpers but other than that Mike’s car leads unsuspecting victims to believe it is a bone stock survivor, until he stomps the throttle and it’s too late for his opponents, who see him disappear in the distance with just the menacing roar of the full three inch exhaust serenading them good-bye.

Under the hood of the T-Type’s stock 109 block is stuffed with Eagle rods, Wiseco Pistons, Calico coated bearings, and a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam. The stock heads were ported by the great Russ Merritt and pumping up that power plant is a Precision 67/87 turbo that churns 27lbs of boost. CK Performance built the billet transmission with a 3500 stall converter.

The rear end is a refreshed stock unit with 3.42 gears and c-clip eliminators from Jack Cotton. This current set up was good enough for an elapsed time of 10.32 @ 133mph but of course Mike is always striving to exceed those personal bests by constantly improving the car. He mentioned that he’s been chasing the Turbo Buick of his buddy Gary Caramani, who is running mid- 9’s in the quarter mile, so he has a few things to do over the winter.

Mike’s to do list for the winter consisted mostly of fuel system upgrades including a fuel cell, all new lines, and 80lb injectors. To put more power on the ground he is also switching to rear coil-overs and has added all new bushings to the rear end. He wasn’t

sure where else he was going to focus his efforts at this time but is just hoping to knock off a couple more tenths by Spring time.

I joked with Mike that even though Englishtown is gone, I’d love to have a Mustang vs Turbo Buick Grudge race at New England Dragway. Head to head our cars are very close, but then again I’ve never had good luck at swatting those pesky Turbo Buicks.

But who knows, someday I might actually be successful, you never know!!

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, that amazing sense of ownership and pride came to reality this past summer when he got his hands on his immaculate 1997 SVT COBRA.

BUY SELL TRADE CONSIGN

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.

From the outside, the car appears to be mostly stock, with visual enhancements coming from only a handful of tasteful modifications. A Saleen S281 spoiler replaces the factory pedestal spoiler and 18 inch Steeda Pentar wheels shine brilliantly at each corner.

Etch makes his way around fifty-five gallon drums of oil and gasoline. Crawls over old engines and automotive parts that are sprawled all over the back of the garage lot facing the woods.

Reaches for the partly open window and heaves his body up and into the rear of the garage. The garage is dimly lit with cartoon character night lights and some outside lights that help him manage to get to the garage area where his GTO is safely parked under wraps in a dark corner hidden from anyone wanting to look inside the front windows and glass doorways. “Those police officers are definitely going to hear this car start up when I turn the ignition key. This exhaust is far from being muffled. Maybe they won’t be directly outside when I fire this bad boy up.” Etch looks out of the front windows to see if he can see any police vehicle headlights outside the front of the garage. There are lights, but they are fading away, not getting brighter. “Now’s my chance.”

Etch turns the ignition key and then hits the garage door switch to open the bay door. It doesn’t open. “What the hell?” He hits the

switch again. The garage bay door does not open. Etch starts to see the police car headlights heading back to the garage. His GTO is so loud the windows on the garage are shaking and everything in the garage is rattling that isn’t tied down. He jumps into the drivers seat and mats the gas pedal. In an instance, the power plant GTO lunges forward and smashes through the closed garage doors, crosses the front lot and fishtails onto the black top headed to the nearest highway on ramp about five miles down the back road. The Pontiac nearly clips two pursuing police cars coming from the opposite direction but Etch is able to stabilize the classic muscle car enough to avoid metal on metal contact at a high rate of speed. The GTO splits both police cruisers and screams down the roadway with loud exhaust and squealing rear tires. The police cars quickly pull u-turns crossing paths with each other hoping to catch the fleeing OUTLAW GTO and capture this menace behind the wheel once, and for all. Etch glances into his rear view mirror and sees flashing red and blue overhead lights closing in fast. He

doesn’t want to risk crashing his beloved GTO so he in no way has the gas pedal near the floor mat under his feet. The police cars are now advancing and his GTO is not pulling away from either one of these police officers. Etch finally sees the highway on ramp sign and knows he is less than a half a mile from entering onto the freeway. The police cars are on his rear bumper as Etch tries to avoid being pitted and lose control of his muscle car. He accelerates a little more by pressing on the gas pedal with a slight push from his black work boots. A moment later he sees exactly what he is looking for: the freeway. The oil slick black GTO leans to the right and heads onto the on ramp with the two police cruisers in hot pursuit.

E.F.I.

Where do I start?

After much debate I’m coerced to come out of the 80’s, lose my mullet, lose the the 1150’s and complement the twin turbos with a modern electronic engine management system.

It’s amazing how quickly the off season turns into race season. After resting on our laurels for 60 days it’s now “Go Time”!

I suddenly realize we’re 61 days behind schedule and the data we acquired last season is a blur.

Our carbureted systems have performed flawlessly however with the turbo systems dialed in it’s time to take advantage of the attributes an Electronic Fuel Injection System offers.

I think most Motorheads already understand a fuel injected motor idles and starts better, especially with the solid roller cams we run. Torque can increase, you’ll run cleaner and better fuel control means less fuel getting by the rings which means longer engine life and long term performance.

Investing in a quality engine management system pays big dividends, consider it an investment.

Choosing a system is challenging. There are so many worth wile products in the marketplace and we looked at them all.

One thing I learned straight off is know the operating parameters you want to manage. Available ECU’s can launch you, control multi stage nitrous, meth injection, control your transmission, a multitude of

other things which are beyond me and prevent breakups by reminding you tomorrow is your anniversary. We don’t need most of the features a sophisticated ECU can monitor and this will allow us to buy a sophisticated but simpler race quality ECU and even save a few $$.

Being in an offshore race boat our system needed the ability to withstand all sorts of madness! Humidity, heat, cold, vibration and significant G-forces. Management wise we wanted RPM limit, boost control, ignition control, high/low pressure warnings and a way to locate the closest five star restaurant anywhere in the world if I get hungry. The so called idiot light warnings are priceless when the ocean is launching me like a rocket and my gauges are a kaleidoscopic blur. Conversely they help you keep your eyes on the road unless you’re texting and driving which we’ll discuss some other time.

s! Save the Dragons...Dragons? generate returns and project delays.

I fully expect all around gains from this advance and know Holley’s system can survive in our unforgiving oceanic environment.

While researching these systems I noticed Holley has a self tuning Sniper EFI system that supports 650 HP. It’s bolt on, stand alone, costs about the same as a good carburetor and drops right on the old carb’s footprint. Have any of you played with one of these? Let me know @ facebook.com/topjimmyracer/ I think it’s a brilliant unit for a stout street car or pleasure boat. I’m thinking of retrofitting one of my muscle cars.

Anyway, back to the boat. I have the attention span of a five year old on Christmas morning!

and myself spent countless hours researching and comparing the many fabulous systems available. I downloaded so many installation and operation PDF’s that my I.T. guy Eric had to give my laptop a transfusion! Finally it came down to a coin toss and New England won....the toss I mean, not the game!

Unanimously we appointed Holley’s “HP EFI ECU” as the Official Engine Management provider for the ALEX AND ANI Superboat Race Team. Holley’s ECU is fully potted so shock and moisture won’t be an issue. Holley features sealed oem automotive/marine grade connectors which in our environment are a must and Holley offered every component to engineer a complete system. The compatible sensors, Smart Coils, harnesses, fuel pumps etc, etc.

Electronics like amps, lots of them. Fuel pumps that support 1900 HP through -12 lines are the size of a small block starter! Presently we have two 105 amp alternators. Our only constant draws are fuel pumps and ignition.

I want to be sure our Holley management systems have more than enough power to process received data and make the appropriate adjustments as we pound big waves. We’re presently looking for 150-160 amp marine units that will fit in the same location so we don’t have to screw around with our seawater pumps, dry sump systems etc. which right now are perfectly positioned. The belts are short and the packaging is nice and “tight”.

My biggest fear is getting stuck with some shiny new imported alternators that fail after 90 seconds under load! Lol I value your input, if you have a suggestion on this hit me @ facebook.com/ topjimmyracer/ and welcome to the team!! I need a little break from research!

I know many of you are aware in 2016 we were plagued with drive failures.

The #6 units couldn’t manage 1750 ft lbs. Converting to Merc #8 units have solved the breakage problem. Since the gear cases on these drives are slightly larger we moved them one inch higher on the boat. This worked pretty well however for 2018 we are moving the units two inches closer to the boat’s transom by eliminating spacer blocks. This will mimic the effect of raising the drives and reduce hydrodynamic drag. This should help us at the higher speeds (160 plus). In rough water this hull is a Monstress that so far has tamed rough seas and kept us safe in the cockpit.

Myself and the crew at ALEX AND ANI Superboat Racing wish you all a fun and safe 2018 season no matter what you fly, even if it’s a couch! Lol Jimmy

were all available on Holley.com and at a reasonable cost. Specs, diagrams, instructions and software updates are easily accessible 24/7. It was a “no brainer” if you will. Another factor we considered was Holley’s longevity, they have over 100 years in the industry providing cost effective quality parts.

Holley will be here tomorrow if we need them and Holley’s technical support is peerless. It’s funny to think I bought my first Holley carb 40 years ago! Today I’m still a teenager and Holley has helped make me fast all 40 of those years with superior parts that are “Made In The U.S.A.!”

A ABetter Locksmith is the easy choice!

So....now that we’ve chosen Holley’s HP ECU the rest of the management system’s components need to be assembled which is a simple task. Armed with just enough knowledge to get myself into big trouble I call 1-866-464-6553 and strike gold! Yes gold, a knowledgeable and helpful Holley tech! I described the engine, the features we desired and the components I spec’d. Holley’s tech advised and compiled the shopping list going as far as running to measure special harness lengths. We need long harnesses in the ALEX AND ANI so our Holley ECU’s can be secured high and dry. A harness also runs from the ECU to Holley’s Digital Dash. Holley’s Digital Dash can replace all our gauges, allow us to access features without the use of a laptop and let me order pizza for my crew in the event my mobile dies.

Communicating with a Holley tech directly on an order of this magnitude ensured we had all the correct parts. Holley’s website is quite user friendly. Searching and ordering is straight forward but on a multi component order like this one my Holley tech’s input saved me from ordering wrong parts, having to

PHIL’S PROPANE OUT I

Phil’s Propane is a full service propane supplier operating in Tiverton, RI since 1952 with about 6000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers throughout RI and Southeastern MA. Phil Viveiros operates a large well maintained fleet of bulk delivery and service trucks that handle all tasks from installations, maintenance, and of course fuel delivery.

on the left side while the right side of the body would be an open platform for the tanks.

It would also need a crane and liftgate so Aquidneck Machine instaleld a Venturo HT50KX crane with an 8000 pound capacity and radio remote

the body extension in order to maximize tool and parts storage. In addition to the compartments in the left side of the body it was built with lower compartments on the right side of the truck. All of this had to work around the large propane saddle tanks on either side of the truck.

A couple of years ago Phil needed to replace two of his older trucks, a service truck and a truck to handle large tank installations so he sat down with John Sequeira at Aquidneck Machine to discuss building his new trucks. After settling on a basic plan for each Phil ordered two new Ford trucks, an F-550 and an F-650, both trucks were specked with V-10 gas engines and automatic transmissions then sent to Roush Engineering for conversions to propane fuel.

In the meantime John went to work designing and ordering the basic bodies to be modified and installed at Aquidneck Machine.

The F-550 4X4 was to get a 9ft. long high roof service body with as much internal storage as possible, every available space was equipped with shelves, drawers and custom fabricated tank and equipment holders, and all the tools and parts needed for service calls. This body had to be designed to accommodate the large propane fuel tank that Roush mounted crosswise on top of the frame behind the cab.

The front doors on the body open to allow access to and refueling of the tank. At a glance these doors do not hint at what’s behind them. The tank is not actually in the body but rather in the full width pass through area.

The F-650 was designed to facilitate the hauling and installation of large tanks for both above and below ground propane storage. The hybrid body would be designed with storage compartments 32| Motorhead Magazine - March 2018

controls. On the rear would be a Thieman liftgate with a large aluminum platform, this had to work in conjunction with the outriggers for the crane AND a hitch.

Already into the build Phil had an idea (and a good one) so Aquidneck Machine blew out front center of the body and it was extended, 4 feet wide and 4 feet forward to allow the longer tanks to be hauled with the tailgate closed. Custom aluminum cabinets were installed on both sides of

TRIP

By John Conti Model cars were a big part of growing up in the fifties and sixties, whereas some skill was needed along with a little ingenuity. In September of ’61, my mother takes me for the Wednesday after school shopping ritual, which consisted of a ride to Federal Hill in Providence or to Rolfe Street in Cranston. I’m a nine year old kid in Woolworth’s on Rolfe Street drooling over the newly arrived model car kits from AMT, Monogram and Revell, while she’s looking at department store items; and I have my allowance and paper route money burning in my pocket when I

see the box cover with the 1927 chopped T Coupe 2 in 1 build-it kit. We leave with the model car kit, I go home and lay out all the parts, scrape the plated part areas to be glued and build the model.

Forty years goes by, even though I had written letters, experienced numerous conversations and had gone “vintage tinning” in woods all over New England to find a real minimal rust T Coupe-no luck. Some

fiberglass replicas surface in the hot rod market of the late sixties and early seventies, but by that time, I was a fussy eighteen year old car builder and could not accept the quality level of the glass bodies, so the whole concept was in the back of my mind, on hold. Now with internet access I locate numerous steel body southern/west coast T Coupe bodies. Having driven to Tulsa, Oklahoma in ’72 to attend the NSRA Street Rod Nationals with some close friends and my wife to be, I was impressed with the high quality exhibitors in the manufacturer’s exhibition building at Tulsa, along with the rest of the 8,000+ car event-hot rod heaven.

Fast forward to 2014 and contact is made with an all steel ’27 chopped coupe owner in the state of Washington who had his car built by a gentleman in Waxahachie, Texas under the name “Beaver Street Rods”. Immediately, I remembered one extremely high quality exhibitor that displayed his products at the Tulsa ’72 Nats, which after contacting confirmed it was his drag race oriented father.

The gentleman also indicated he was a retired aerospace engineer and dreamt of building hot rods all his life and is currently living the dream since his early retirement. He also indicated the car was built for a local pharmacist by the name of John Ivers, who ran the car at the Meltdown Drags in Byron, Illinois in 2012 (check it out on YouTube: “Meltdown Drags 2012 Part 19”). So, after viewing the car making passes down the quarter mile and also seeing the actual build that was documented explicitly by “Beaver Street Rods”, a deal was stuck for the vehicle as a “roller” (no engine or transmission).

Once the Coupe was received, major frame and front end modifications were decided upon, including an 18” front frame rail extension and a “Heidts” independent front end. The extension was decided upon for longer wheel base increased stability and somewhat necessary to replace the dropped front axle.

Steering column modifications and intermediate steering shafts were located for improved u-joint angles, resulting in better steering “feel”.

retard control to allow street/strip use. The two speed BTM Powerglide with a 4800 stall converter with a 3.00 ring and pinion on 31” x 16” slicks should keep the sixty foot times in the 1.15 area (hopefully).

The stainless steel “Borla” mufflers should keep the police away when the street tires replace the slicks for local cruising with ear plugs. The fun of having a street/strip car is beyond words, whether it’s an 8 second chopped T or a 16 second family cruiser-check it out… think about it… do it… and make it happen for yourself. You won’t regret it.

Saving Space – One Drawer at a Time: Th One Big Parts Room or Many Small Ones?

By THE SMALL PARTS PRO

Most companies need to store parts, components, tooling, and repair items in an easily accessible location. This is not too hard to plan for a small plant

or building, but with larger facilities, the time to access items from a distant location can become a factor in maintaining an efficient operation. There are two basic options for this type of storage, each with their own benefits.

BESSETTE’S MOTORCYCLE

The more common situation is to create a secure area in one location that would contain the items that people in your company need. This could include maintenance items, machine tooling, repair parts, component assembly kits or high

value inventory items. Workers that need any of these items need to go to the ‘cage’ or ‘parts room’ or ‘tool room’ to get what they need. The advantages of this layout are: • Better control of inventory and job costing data • Minimizing access to sensitive areas • Increased security for high value items • Maximized storage efficiency

• Standard Maintenance Services • Engine Services • Heating & Air Conditioner Repair • Auto Electrical Services • Exhaust Services And many more …

The disadvantage of this layout is primarily time; time to walk from a work area to the storage room and back again; time waiting in line for service; time spent with co-workers along the way. In a larger facility or a busy facility, this can become a significant additional cost.

The alternative would be to have specific items located in secure modular drawer cabinets, shelving with drawers, or in an vending machine style dispenser close to the area where they are actually needed. The advantages for this type of layout are: • Components are immediately available at the worksite location • Access can be controlled by any or all of the

The Best Ideas for Small Parts Storage following: A. Cabinets keyed differently for each worker B. Individual drawers keyed differently for each worker C. Cabinets keyed differently by work group or department D. Master keys for company wide or departmental access E. Electronic locks to record and control access to parts F. Automated vending machines for commonly used items These security options allow control of inventory by certain workers only and eliminate any delays in getting those items to the worksite locations when needed. Quick visual inventory for spot checks is also easy as the drawers open to their full depth making all compartments easily visible.

This makes inventory counts much faster and easier than working on a conventional shelving unit with plastic bins. You can also take a quick visual inventory at any time without having to pull out each shelf bin and look inside or open up a box and count the contents. Drawers in shelving also help keep inventory parts and components away from environmental dust and debris, as opposed to shelf bins that leave the contents exposed.

Modular drawer systems can be added to your existing shelving to increase the storage space you have available. The drawers are adaptable to most brands of shelving with specific adapter brackets.

You can choose how much space you want to convert to drawers, using brackets from 12” to 48” in height within the shelving unit. The drawers are available to fit most standard shelf sizes and range

in height from 3” to 14” high.

Drawers can be ordered in a variety of colors. So you can coordinate with existing equipment or mirror your company colors. You can also order drawers in colors to code drawers for certain types of products, making it easier to locate products.

And, if you don’t want to integrate drawers into your existing shelving units, all these options are available in stand-alone locking drawer cabinets.

For more information or help in designing an efficient drawer storage system conversion for your existing parts room, Contact Innovo Storage at 401-383-0883 or by email at support@innovostorage.com. Innovo Storage Systems is located at

1 Goldsmith Street, Johnston, RI 02919

Evaluate your situation and decide which storage plan is best for your business and then consider using modular drawers to maximize your space and increase efficiency in your operation.

Faster Inventory Counts with Modular Drawers

By THE SMALL PARTS PRO

Yearly inventory counts are always difficult and time consuming, especially with smaller parts. This becomes excessive when, for a variety of reasons, you need to verify stock levels on a more frequent basis; such as quarterly or monthly.

However, you can increase space in your stock room and decrease the time it takes to inventory your products using modular drawer systems.

Modular drawers provide very efficient storage, creating more space for parts in your shelving units. The drawers have 100% extension, so the full depth of the drawer is visible when fully extended.

So, all parts and components, whether in partitioned compartments or in plastic bins, are easily accessible for viewing and counting.

Don’t Bury ‘Em, We Bring ‘Em Back to Life

JIMMY CAZZANI

Jeff Kipfmueller, owner of Graverobbers Sheetmetal in Cumming , GA says “let me do what I do best, many body shops are very good at body work and paint but very few possess the knowledge, the jigs, and the tools necessary to duplicate the processes used in assembling old car bodies” Jeff and his team save rare and specialty cars from the crusher!

“I don’t spread plastic and I don’t spray paint but I’ll give you a high quality media blasted, primed and assembled body with lines equal to or better than OEM. My client is getting a body that is structurally safe, sound and ready for paint then assembly!

Give me a body that’s rotted from the roof down and bent. We media blast it, jig it and build it. Our turnaround time is generally several weeks depending on the extent of damage. If your car is something rare we don’t have a jig for we’ll built one from OEM dimension charts.”

“We’ve built cars such as Ferraris and Porches. We possess the knowledge and tools to re-create body panels and structures that are no longer available for some rare vehicles.”

“Body shops are thrilled getting a roller that’s ready for bodywork and paint. It makes their job much easier and gets your car built quickly with much higher quality.”

Go to Jeff ’s website graverobberssheetmetal.com where he actually has a menu with prices for various panel replacements on some popular cars. Check out some of his work.

I knew restoration shops and restorers from all over the country ship him bodies. Now I know why.

As a parting shot Jeff said, “There really isn’t much out there I can’t raise from the dead.”

Early Bus

A/C would not operate, the heater box caught on fire! They never could get the fire extinguisher material out of the seats! Because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the extent of the damage, Jamie bought it as is.

Fortunately, the car has been completely taken apart and put back together after a fresh coat of paint. The engine, trans, and brakes have all been upgraded. The bottom end of the engine remains stock rebuilt .30 over with f303 cam,1.6 roller rockers, Ford GT-40 alum heads, bbk upper/ lower intake, 24lb injectors, mass air flow conversion, t5 trans and 8.8â&#x20AC;? 3:73 rear.

12 VOLT NEWS In-car Video Entertainment

GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. A Custom Car Stereo Center

In-car video entertainment….. for those of us who spent our childhood on road trips, crammed in the back of a station wagon with nothing to do but punch our brothers or sisters, it seems like a godsend. For the parents who were trapped in the same car with three kids who decided to pass the time by punching, pinching and asking, “Are we there yet?” it seems like nirvana. But for today’s kids, it’s becoming par for the course.

With technology shrinking, drivers are no longer dependent on their radios to entertain passengers. Cars and trucks can now be outfitted with VCRs, DVD players and even the latest video game systems. While the entertainment systems’ range includes everything from basic portable DVD players to large ceiling-mounted viewing screens, the most luxurious viewing option for many car passengers is headrest monitors. With headrest monitors, each passenger has a personal monitor mounted on the back of the headrest of the seat directly in front of them. Not only do personal monitors of this sort cut down on issues like sun glare, but in some systems, each monitor can display different programming (ending fights over what to watch) or even use different entertainment devices. That means that while one passenger watches a DVD, another can play video games.

Of course, there are some downsides to built-in headrest monitors.. The systems tend to be very expensive. While some manufacturers offer the systems straight from the factory, they can add thousands of dollars to the price of a car. Actually, only a few luxury car manufacturers currently offer factory-installed headrest monitors -- making them an expensive addition to an already expensive purchase. Aftermarket headrest monitors are more common, but these are still an expensive proposition and usually require professional installation ut, if it’s headrest monitors you want, A Custom Car Stereo Center has you covered. So buckle up, quit bothering your sister and if you ask to stop at McDonald’s one more time, we’re turning this 12 Volt News article right around and no one will learn anything about headrest monitors. So be good, and go on to learn about the different types of headrest monitors.

to limit your car shopping to luxury SUVs and crossovers. Some sedans do offer the monitors; however, they tend to be extreme-luxury sedans like Maybachs. Even at the mere luxury level, a factory-installed system will set you back quite a bit. For example, the Land Rover optional headrest monitor package adds around $2,500 to the vehicle’s price.

Aftermarket systems can be more affordable. For one, you don’t have to buy a new car to get them.

The headrest monitors alone are really not that expensive. Seven-inch (17.8-centimeter) monitors start at around $80. However, mounting these monitors can be very complex. You have to cut into the back of the headrest, run the wires into the seats and route them to the input device (VCR, DVD player or game system). And don’t forget that you have to put the seat back together again. That’s something that’s out of the league of many do-it-yourselfers, which means installation costs need to be added to the relatively low price of some of these stand-alone headrest monitors.

A less labor-intensive option is to replace your car’s headrests with headrests that have monitors pre-mounted. Many car audio suppliers manufacture these, and installation is as easy as popping your old headrest off, putting the new one on and running the wires to the input device. A set of two of these ready-to-go headrests can cost upwards of $800. Some even hide a DVD player behind the screens, which folds out of the way to change disks. That makes installation even easier since you don’t have to run additional wiring to a remote device.

While a number of factory and aftermarket headrest monitors have a DVD player in the headrest, behind the screen -- remember, the screen slides out of the way to access the player -- there are a number of other system options. While the headrest monitor and DVD player combo may be the easiest to install, it also has some limitations.

In many cases, it means that both headrests can’t watch the same DVD. These systems also make

it difficult for the monitors to show other media, like video games.

It may seem like a small point, but where the media players are located is actually pretty important. Some factory systems place the DVD player (or players) in the dash, making it relatively simple for the driver or front passenger to load discs for the passengers. Other factory systems place the DVD player in the rear cargo area. That allows for a lot of different types of media in the car. A large DVD changer can fit, and so can one (or more) video game systems. However, this placement has its downsides, too.

It can’t be safely accessed while the car is in motion. Also, if there’s cargo in the cargo area, access to the media may be further limited. Plus, running the wires from the monitors through the vehicle and into the cargo area also complicates installation for aftermarket systems.

Other systems put the media between the front seats, facing the rear seat passengers. That allows for the back seat passengers to access the media players to change discs or games. On the other hand, such placement puts the media players at risk for getting kicked or stepped on as people enter or exit the car, and not every vehicle has enough space between the front two seats for a media player (or two).

The way many headrest monitor manufacturers try to solve these difficulties is by providing wireless remote controls with each monitor. That way, even if the media player is far away from the passenger, they’re still able to control it.

If you’re in the market for a new car, you’ve got a lot of factory-installed entertainment options.

Selecting a factory-installed system makes providing entertainment for your passengers easy. The system is set up and ready to go from the moment you own the car. You’ll have a warranty for all of the entertainment system’s parts and even the labor required to install them. You’ll also know that all the components have been designed to work with your car, and they’ll fit seamlessly into the design and operation of the vehicle.

For those with their hearts set on factory-installed headrest monitors, you’re choices are more narrow than if you considered other factory-installed in-car entertainment systems. Currently, only a few luxury carmakers offer factory-installed headrest monitors on their cars. For those in the new car market who want this feature, you’ll have CALL 401-965-9012 TO ADVERTISE

Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Scene

JIM WEICHERDING

I know the calendar month shows the month of March, 2018, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop most of us from hoping that the nicer weather will arrive soon, so we can head out to our favorite classic auto show or community cruise night across the region this spring. We have been very fortunate so far this winter season with milder than normal temperatures and literally very little snow on the ground to even speak of at this time of year.

Winter has come and gone with a whimper and hopefully by the time you read this article the birds will not be the only thing chirping outside your windows and garage doors.

Hope some of that chirping is coming from the rear tires of your favorite classic muscle car, hot rod or cool truck.

Most of the classic auto shows and cruise nights begin in April with all of them starting in the month of May and ending by the last weekend of October each year. March does boast the Cruisin Season start up with the popular Town Fair Tire Boston World of Wheels Event from March 23-25th, 2018.

This will be the 44th Annual World of Wheels Event and will be held at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center at 200 Seaport Blvd, Boston, Massachusetts.

Town Fair Tire is this years sponsor. Admission is $20 for Adults, $7 for Kids aged 6-12 years old and children 5 years old and younger admission is free. Purchase of a ticket does not guarantee an autograph from special celebrity guests. Event hours are March 23rd, 3pm till 10pm, March 24th, 10am till 10pm and March 25th, 10am till 6pm.

So, kick start your Cruisin Season and visit the Boston World of Wheels Event in March. Shake off the cobwebs and check out all of those beautiful show
