Pros And Cons OfHood Scoops

There are two types of hood scoops: open and closed. Open hood scoops are

enclosed on 3 sides and are raised to catch additional air at high speeds. Closed are mostly cosmetic but can increase air !ow over the car which will increase your gas mileage and speed. "ere are pros and cons to both to consider before installing.

!e Pros "ere are lots of pros to hood

scoops. "ey look great, they are functional but the biggest bene#t is performance. A hood scoop

will usually have one specific function but many bene#ts. For example, if you use a manifold type scoop it brings cooler air into the engine compartment into the air intake system and cools the engine which increases performance. Hood scoops are very common with muscle car enthusiasts as they will add them purely for added enhancement to the lines of the car and will also intertwine a paint scheme with it.

!e ConsDespite all of the pros, there

are some cons to adding a hood

scoop to the car. With that increased air !ow mentioned above there comes extra dirt and debris and water. That leads to extra maintenance on the engine, extra air #lter changes and more frequent engine cleaning. Also there is the issue of increased engine noise levels which could violate noise ordinances/laws. Most of all a scoop can have negative impacts on vehicle emissions and fuel e$ciency.

If performance enhancement for your muscle car is your goal then adding a hood scoop is a good #t. Hood scoops improves performance in di%erent ways and cosmetically they can really make the car stand out. Despite the drawbacks, if you can live with them, it's worth it.

During your project you might discover you might want to add a hood scoop. They look great and are designed to provide additional CKT�ƃQY� VQ� VJG�GPIKPG�YJKEJ� � KORTQXGU� VJG�car's performance.

Pros And Cons OfHood Scoops

I remember when I was 16 years old in 1968, and my ! rst car was a 1963 Buick

Wildcat 2-door hardtop with bucket seats and a 401 cubic inch engine. It was big, fast, and had lots of chrome. To me, it was the most beautiful material item in the world. Saturday mornings were de-voted to washing, vacuuming and shining this nineteen foot cruiser. " e old style lacquer paint made the light blue color look as deep as the sky.

Many of my adolescent dreams were tied up with that car. It was galloping freedom; it was dating the prettiest girls. It was a sign of future suc-cess and opulence. Cruising through drive-ins, the Buick was noticeable but classy. I thought it looked good parked with the front wheels turned slightly to the left as if crouch-ing, ready to spring.

On the less glamorous side, this beautiful Buick also got my buddies and me to school and to work. (Yeah, I had to have a job to have the car. Duh?) But even in class I dreamed about my car parked across the street ready to roar away as soon as the last bell rang.

Some of this early love for cars came from my older broth-er who had already moved out of the house and lived in Florida. When he was in high school, he had a 1952 Chev-rolet Deluxe two-door sedan with a stovebolt six and a three-speed. (And I have never forgotten how to manually shift as learned in that Chevy.) Yes, it had fender skirts, dice hanging in the mirror, and the exhaust was a little louder than

I have decided to sell my three 60’s cars. They are expensive, and they always need something. It really is not a practical hobby. I’m going to sell all three of them. I’m over it. They are just old cars, and I could put the money in the 401k. I don’t MPQY�YJ[�+�IQV�VJGO�KP�VJG�Ƃ�TUV�RNCEG��+�IWGUU�VJG[�TGOKPFGF�me of something, not sure what.

stock. Somehow he traded up to a two-tone green 1954 Bel Air convertible. Again, I remember fender skirts and dice. I thought it felt swell cruising with the top down, but my brother didn’t like the car because the top leaked and it was a six cylinder with Powerglide.

Just before making his big move to Florida, he traded for a two-tone blue 1958 Chev-rolet Bel Air two-door sedan with a 283 Power Pack, power steering and power brakes. He even let me drive it some in the neighborhood. I still remember P\�À�UVW�WDVWH�RI�WKH�VPRRWK�9��SRZHU�DQG�WKH�HDV\�WZR�À�QJHU�steering. The smoothness and the magnitude of the power just under the right foot was not only felt, it was also seen; LW�ZDV�YLVLEOH�LQ�WKH�Á�DUHV�RI�WKH�sheet metal and the glimmering chrome.

And then there was the red 1957 Ford Thunderbird owned by my older sister’s boyfriend. I never talked him into letting

me drive it (since I was only twelve). But I sure was enthralled by the exhaust note of that 312 Y-block 9�� DQG� EHGD]]OHG�by the engine-turned dash trim. It had a bench seat, so they would take me for short rides, but they seemed to be in a hurry to drop me off and go on by them-selves.

My best friend at that time was almost a year older than I was. When he turned sixteen, his mom said she would buy him any car he wanted up to a certain amount. Wow, did ZH�À�QG�WKH�FDU��+H�DFTXLUHG�D�1965 Pontiac GTO hardtop with three deuces and a four speed. That is when I learned about the almost out-of-body experience RI�WRUTXH�EHLQJ�GHOLYHUHG�PDV�sively to wheels just behind your seat, that incredible sensation of power so great it outpaces the

traction from the weight of the vehicle. Did I mention the smell of burning rubber? Anyway, that car had very little chrome and looked great because of its crisp, angular styling and those stacked headlights. The grab bar on the passenger side of the dash was a nice touch, too.

After I got my Wildcat, my friend and I were a tag team, double dating, cruising the drive-ins, taking road trips to the beach. Sometimes we tore up

the back roads testing speed-ometers on the well-known straightaways.

So maybe I won’t sell those old cars. They are in the ga-rage. At least I can still touch them. They do remind me of something or some people or some times. When I have one out late at night with the top down, once in a while I’ll step on it just to hear the tires chirp.

How toMaintain Your Exhaust Headers2GTHQTOCPEG�GZJCWUV�JGCFGTU�ECP�UKIPKƂECPVN[�KPETGCUG� VJG� RGTHQTOCPEG� QH� [QWT� JQV�rod car, but to keep them performing at QRVKOWO�NGXGNU��VJG[�PGGF�VQ�DG�ENGCPGF�CPF�OCKPVCKPGF�DGECWUG�VJG[�RTQFWEG�GZVTGOG�JGCV��CPF�C�NQV�QH�KV��

Written by Scott Goodblatt

The header is the !rst place that the exhaust gases pass through. Luckily,

cleaning and maintaining the headers is not a di#cult task if you have the correct supplies and tools.

First and foremost do not clean the headers when the en-gine is hot, for obvious reasons. Let the engine cool completely. Ultimately, let it sit overnight.

Cleaning the outside of the headers is very important. It enhances the look of the engine. You can use something as simple as water or a damp cloth, avoid-ing any nearby electrical wires/components. For dirtier head-ers, you can use a degreaser to

get the oil or other debris o". For chrome headers, you can use a little polish as well being sure not to leave any residue. Once they're clean, allow them to dry completely.

Maintaining the headers is also very important. Welds sometimes get weak and can develop leaks. The end result is exhaust gases leaking which smell awful and continued expo-sure is dangerous to your health. Also you will have an increase in heat. Welding the leak is the only way to safely repair that problem. A blower and silver solder will be necessary to make this type of repair. Only weld if you have training – if not take

it to a pro. $ere are plenty of them around.

To get some of the heat pro-duced by headers under con-trol, you can apply a thermal wrap. Start wrapping the sec-tion closest to the engine block and wrap towards the header pipe. Tie the wrap with ties that the manufacturer provides with the tape or use hose clamps

Headers are just like every other part of a car. $ey need cleaning and proper mainte-nance to avoid costly replace-ment or repair. Using these simple tips should keep you on the road and looking great in the show.


Picking The Best Racing TiresWith as much attention as goes into a drag car's engine, suspension and body, the tire type sometimes lacks in importance because of the common belief that you are set to race if you “slap on a set of slicks.”

The wrong tire can cost you a race. During com-petition, that is the last

thing a racer wants. Tires play an extremely important role in racing. Picking the right drag radial takes several steps.

First, you have to find the right tire. Find out the right model of tire that you want for your vehicle. Manufacturers will have speci!c tread patterns that are used just for drag rac-ing. One type, the racing slick, is thicker than the ordinary tire. It has treads that are so"er and increase road grip. They are usually made of soft viscous rubber that is ideal for sticking to racing surfaces with mini-


mum friction to increase speed. But the con- the tire doesn’t last long at all.

Next you have to have a pre-cise tire !t for the wheel you are using. Most manufacturers will set wheel and tire settings to make sure you get the right size. #e wrong size tire is not only ine$ective but dangerous. #e alignment could be totally o$ and steering at high speeds is nearly impossible. Also when the tire expands due to high temperatures the tire could blow or come o$ the rim.

Drag radials can get pricey, but with good budget planning you should be able to restock when you need to. Remember

that most of these drag racing tires are made of so"er rubber and they will wear out in about 100 miles of use so !nd a dealer that can order and obtain the tires you need on a regular basis.

Various manufacturers make drag radials and the prices vary between models. Some of the recommended brands include Yokohama, BF Goodrich and Goodyear, to name a few.

Once you find your tires, you have to rework them to get them race ready. One option is to heat cycle them. Heat cycling involves slowly bringing the tire up to operating temperature. #is heats up the tire and then cools it down slowly. #is pro-

cess is ideal to make sure that the rubber is accustomed to the temperature and the heating/cooling process. A"er heat cy-cling, remove the tires and rest them until they get back to their original dimensions. Force cool-ing faster than 24 hours is not safe or recommended. Another

option is to shave the tires but this takes experience. If it is done haphazardly, you end up with incorrect tread patterns and worse, chunking.

Now that you have some tips on choosing racing tires, start shopping, put them on and let the racing begin!!


Tips of the Trade: Things to Consider When Buying a Classic Car

Written by Jordan Parker

It doesn't matter if you're an experienced Classic Car buyer or one just get-ting started, there are certain things you should look for in order to get the DGUV�DCPI�HQT�[QWT�DWEM��(KTUV�VJKPIU�ƂTUV��VCNM�VQ�CU�OCP[�RGQRNG�YJQ�QYP�ENCUUKE�ECTU�CU�[QW�ECP��6JG[�YKNN�DG�CDNG�VQ�RQKPV�QWV�VJG�IQQF��VJG�DCF��CPF�VJG�WIN[�QH�DW[KPI�CPF�QYPKPI�C�ENCUUKE�ECT��*GTG�CTG�UGXGTCN�VKRU�VJCV�YKNN�JQRGHWNN[�JGNR�[QW�KP�NQQMKPI�HQT�CP�QTKIKPCN�VJCVU�CU�WPOQFKƂGF�CU�RQUUKDNG�

1. Know your price range and stick to it.

As you may well know, classic cars take a lot of care and can be quite expensive when buying and restoring. Recognize that this car will need to be taken care of properly, and well. Be careful not to be sucked in to the beauty of a car as it is. Keep in mind that the cost of owning a classic car is a whole lot more than owning a family car. Calculate the total amount of investment that you can make for the car and check with the reality. Parts and service costs are a lot higher than newer cars out there, but the enjoyment factor is higher too!

2. Prepare your lifestyle and environment for a classic car.

If you’re looking into buying a vintage automobile, then you

are obviously one who will not be satis!ed until that beauty is exactly how you want it. Know-ing that, you will have to prepare your lifestyle and home before-hand. Otherwise, you could risk not having the su"cient space and/or time to devote to the car. It is also helpful to identify the purposes for which you are buying a vintage car. What will you use it for? Whether it is for car rallies and shows that you want to participate in or just to have something to drive during relaxed weekends, it is really up to you to !nd out all the ins and outs of your buying purpose, and then buy accordingly.

3. Know where to look. Of course you could search

online, but that sometimes takes away the thrill of the hunt!

Check out vintage shows and fairs around your area. You may be surprised at how much is out there. #ese provide the biggest opportunities for learning and exchanging knowledge about the old beauties. The chrome bumper MPG would be the per-fect advertisement to look for in newspapers when you are hunt-ing down vintage cars. Going to auctions with high end vintage cars that come with authoriza-tion is also a best bet. Be patient, looking for “the one” takes time. Look at more than one car. Take your time. Do not buy anything until someone who has classic car experience has looked at it with you. Being there in person is an important element for vintage car lovers. These fairs are ex-tremely delightful and provides tons of contacts and information.

4. Get the details.Knowing as much as you can

about the vehicle is essential when investing in buying one. Ask yourself these questions:

• Is the car registered? • Where is the car from? • What states has it been reg-

istered in? • Has it been registered in a

state where the roads are salted when it snows? (Salt causes cor-rosion and rust which eats metal like a cancer.)

• Do the numbers match? Is the engine code right for the en-gine that is in the car? #e vehicle identi!cation number, (VIN) is coded with engine size, transmis-sion type, body style, and more.

• Is the engine and drive train the same as what came in it from the factory or has it been modi-!ed?

• Did someone take out a six cylinder and put in a 396 big block? If it did not come from the factory, it can take away from the value.

5. Take it for a ride.If possible, take the desired

classic on a ride that lasts about 20 minutes. #is amount of time is usually sufficient in finding out if there are any performance problems.

6. Take a good inventory of the body and inside the car.

Make sure you carve out plen-ty of time to check out the body,

the interior, underneath the car (where rust loves to lurk). Here are some reminders as to what to check:

• Look down the sides for any signs of damage.

• Check out the seam gaps between the doors and hood — are they straight or do they look uneven? If it’s even, you’ll be able to roll a marble smoothly down. This will determine if the car has had body damage repairs.

• Check for rust — most common places are underneath the car, inside the wheel wells, and in the trunk, where the rear window glass and package tray meet.

• Are the seats original and upholstery original?

• How does the dashboard look? What about the badges and emblems — are they intact?

• Do the $oor pans look like they’re in good shape or do they have rust?

Buying a classic car is a large investment and should be treated as such. Get as much information as you possibly can — do lots of research, and you will thank yourself for it! You’ll also be better o% when negotiating the purchase. Once you own a classic you will enter a whole new world. It’s a memo-rable experience that certainly doesn’t have a pricetag!


Performance Exhaust Systems

Here are some di!erent types you can choose from:

!e Single Exhaust"e single single exhaust has

one pipe typically on the rear of the car underneath the bumper. It is a simple system and is one of the less expensive types. "e disadvantage is that it provides less horsepower than other types of exhaust systems.

!e Dual Rear ExitExhaust

The dual rear exit exhaust system has 2 pipes located un-derneath the rear bumper and they are not bent around the rear wheels. "is is a favorite with car enthusiasts. It's louder and provides less restriction on the exhaust system as well.

!e Opposite SideDual Exhaust

"e opposite side dual ex-haust is slightly di!erent from the dual rear exit in terms of the location of the pipes. It provides the same sound and performance. The two pipes wrap around on each side of the rear wheels. "is type of exhaust is suitable for trucks or cars that o#en tow other vehicles.

!e Axle BackExhaust

If you want to sound like you have more performance than you actually have, the axle back exhaust is a good choice because of the sound it puts out. It is easy to $t and the chrome tips that peek out from the back of the car look great.

!e Cat-BackExhaust

A cat-back exhaust refers to the entire system going back from the catalytic converter. "ey take advantage of a legally required piece of equipment and then open the exhaust to dual pipes.

Many people who are seeking

Choosing the best performance exhaust system for your restoration project is just another important step in the process. Not only does it enhance the looks of your ride but depending on the type you choose, it can improve torque, horsepower and even gas mileage.

the best performance exhaust will use a cat-back system.

!e Turbo BackExhaust

A turbo back exhaust system goes from the turbocharger out-let all the way back. In some of these systems, to give less %ow restriction, the stock catalytic converter is replaced with an a#ermarket one.

Tests have shown that the turbo back system can be the


best performance exhaust, giving greater torque and more power. If performance is what you're looking for, this is the best one to use. All things considered, the turbo back seems to be the best performance exhaust.

So when restoring a car or upgrading its exhaust system you do have several choices that you can pick from to get the exact look and performance that you want.

Giving Your Classic Car Some Much-Needed TLCSo you just found the one. The classic car you've always dreamed of. You bought it, and now it's time to restore it. But the outside of that classic car is only half the battle. The interior is begging for some love, too!

Recent studies have esti-mated that many Amer-icans spend as much as

three hours a day in their cars. Over the course of a typical week, that’s almost one entire day behind the wheel. That not only translates to lots of face time with your vehicle’s interior, but it also provides ample opportunities for the buildup of dirt, grime, co!ee, and food stains that can leave a car’s interior appearing haggard and worn.

In addition to robbing a car’s interior of its aesthetic appeal, the buildup of dirt and grease can also cause the vehicle to degrade over time. "ough it’s common to associate vehicle maintenance with what’s under the hood, drivers should also make maintenance a priority for the vehicle’s interior. When cleaning a car’s interior, ad-dress each and every nook and cranny.

Consoles &Cup Holders

Perhaps no part of a vehicle’s interior is more susceptible to dirt and grease buildup than the center console, which is typically home to a vehicle’s cup holders. Spilled co!ee or soda is something every driver can relate to, and cleaning such spills is harder than it sounds. No Touch® Interior Detail-ing Mousse from Permatex, a leading innovator of auto maintenance, repair, and ap-pearance products, is specially formulated to remove not only stubborn stains, but also older ones, making it ideal for taking care of that long-ignored yet unsightly residue at the bottom of your cupholder.

Clean Under theCarpets

Particularly a#er a long win-

ter, a vehicle’s carpets can be a major eyesore. Remove the $oor mats and thoroughly vacuum any dirt buildup that might have multiplied with each winter snowstorm or spring shower. Your carpets will look better and last longer.

Dashboards &Door Panels

In order to drive a vehicle, motorists must look out over the dashboard. Despite that, dashboards are o#en overlooked when it comes to cleaning a car’s interior. No Touch® Interior De-tailing Mousse is formulated to remove unsightly dirt or grease buildup from all interior sur-faces, including plastic, rubber, vinyl, and leather, while drying to a satin sheen to minimize dashboard reflection on the windshield. What’s unique about No Touch® Interior Detailing Mousse is that it applies as a mousse, meaning there won’t be any of the messy overspray and seepage into components and vents that drivers typically worry about when cleaning the dashboard and door panels.

Address the UpholsteryWhen buying a new car, many

auto buyers are concerned about the car’s potential resale value. That’s a genuine concern, as resale value is o#en in$uenced by more than just the number of miles on the odometer. Dirty upholstery is an instant turno! for most used car buyers, so drivers should be diligent and clean their upholstery regularly, including immediately a#er any spills. Be careful when using water to clean the upholstery, as you don’t want any water getting into places that can damamge electrical components or create a moldy smell.

Practice Preventive CareMuch like humans, a car is

susceptible to UV rays. Whereas a human would apply sunscreen to his or her skin to protect against sunburn, drivers can ap-ply a UV-protectant product to their vehicle’s interior to guard against problems that o#en result from overexposure to the sun. No Touch® Interior Detailing Mousse is specially formulated to protect a vehicle against UV rays that typically lead to fad-ing, cracking, and aging. What’s more, its non-greasy formula leaves surfaces with a %lm-free %nish, ensuring the car’s inte-rior will look and feel like new without su!ering any harmful side effects of sun exposure. No Touch® Interior Detailing Mousse also has an anti-static repellant, which helps keep the instrument panel free and clear of dust for safer and easier navi-gation.

Overcome the OdorMasking odors is another con-

cern for many vehicle owners. While some spring days are ideal for rolling down the windows, spring showers are o#en a force to be reckoned with during the spring season. For drivers trapped inside a car with its own distinct odor, No Touch® Interior

Detailing Mousse has a new car scent that ensures both driver and passenger won’t be stuck holding their noses on those long commutes to work.

Did You Know? Drive-In Movies

The drive-in mov-ie theater was the brainchild of Rich-

ard Hollingshead, Jr., an auto products sales manag-er at his father’s Whiz Auto Products store. Hollings-head wanted to combine his passion for automobiles with his love of ! lms. A" er testing different parking con! gurations and imitat-

ing weather conditions in his own driveway to simulate the drive-in movie experience, Hollingshead ! led for a patent for the drive-In theater. He received the patent on May 16, 1933. The first drive-in was opened on June 6, 1933, in Camden, N.J. # e price of admission was $.25 for the car and each person inside. Drive-in theaters peaked in

popularity in the 1950s, when there were roughly 5,000 drive-ins operating across the United States and Canada. According to Drive-Ins.com, currently there are about 353 drive-ins remaining in the United States and 53 in Canada.

9 Helpful Tips When

Storing Your Classic Car

1. Store it with a full gas tank. This helps reduce the amount of water that

can be absorbed by the gaso-line and it also slows the rate at which it turns to varnish. Use an additive like "Sta-Bil", "Dry Gas," or similar. Make sure it's well mixed and run the car for a while to make sure it's in the entire fuel system.

2 . Make sure to change the engine oil. Dirty oil can be contaminated with ac-

ids and water which can create premature bearing failure and rust inside the engine. If you are storing the car for an extended time, it's a good idea to remove the sparkplugs and spray some 'upper-cylinder lubricant' into the cylinders before replacing

Maybe you have a convertible that you love to drive in the summer,

but all this rain has kept it off the road this year. Maybe you're going

to leave town for work or an extended vacation. Whatever the reason,

you sometimes need to store your car. Here's a list of important steps

to take before you store a vehicle. Taking these precautions will not

only ensure that your car starts when you return to it, but also ensures

that its time in storage doesn't shorten the life of the engine.

the plugs. This will keep the piston rings from rusting to the cylinder walls.

3 . Top o! the brake "uid. Brake !uid absorbs mois-ture quickly and too much

moisture will rust the brake system.

4. When storing a car, it will help to take it for a short drive at once a

month at least. "is helps keep the engine, parts, etc. in good shape, and will prevent things from corroding and the seals from drying out. If you can't get around to driving it, have a friend or family member start it up every once in a while at least.

5. If you want to cover it, use a cloth car cover instead of a plastic one.

6 . If your storage area has concrete "oors that have the tendency to get damp,

using cat litter will help soak up the moisture. You can also lay plastic underneath the car to prevent any condensation from getting to the !oor pans of your car.

7 . If you happen to have a classic car with a convert-ible top, leave it up with

all windows and vents closed. A convertible top will harbor

nasty creases if it's folded for long periods of time, especially if it is being stored in a location with cold weather. Treat Vinyl tops with Silicone or a similar substitute.

8 . Seal her up! Keep all windows and vents closed. This blocks bugs from

crawling inside.

9. Buy some desiccant sacs or silica gel packets (they come in new shoe boxes),

and place them on the !oors of the inside of the car. "is is especially important if you're storing it in a hot and humid location, because it will prevent any moisture from damaging the car's interior.

Numbers Matching Classic Cars

Back in the mid 1950s, automobile manufactur-ers started stamping and

casting identi!cation numbers on the cars and their parts. "e main idea was to give an ac-curate description of a vehicle during mass production. The numbers were used to verify facts about the car and also tracked the sequence during production.

These older cars have an identi!cation plate which list major part numbers that can be verified. These numbers can be stamped on the major components like the engine, drivetrain, and transmission as well as smaller components like alternators, carburetor, distribu-tor, heads, and water pumps to

Every classic car restorer knows that a “numbers matching” vehicle is the most sought after and the most valuable. It is a term often used and it is heard many times in the classic car world. But what does the term really mean?


name a few.

With this in mind, de!ning the term “matching number” would mean that the car would have all of the parts from the manufacturer at the time or have been replaced with new old stock parts, better known as NOS parts. "e most general use of the term means that the engine and transmission are marked with the same code as the chassis number with the rear axle/di#erential ‘s date code and casting number corresponding with each other.

Numbers matching a car is not an easy task. You have to !rst !nd out which numbers to verify, where they are located on each part, !nd an inventory checklist to compare to, and !nally, you have to know how to interpret them which in itself is like learning a new language.

Even the most experienced classic car buyers can have a difficult time translating all of the number and letter combinations. But if you re-ally want a numbers matching car, there are plenty of pros out there who would be will-ing to help. Good resources include classic car auto clubs and especially the internet.

Classic muscle cars sold back in the '50s, '60s and '70s brand new for up to $5,000. If you can track down a numbers matching car that is still owned by the original owner who took care of the car, garaged it, and never drove it in inclement weather or if you can track down a numbers matching car that was restored to factory specs, it can be worth hundreds of thousands — literally.
