Plus a couple of cool transmission stories); Front Man (A retro hat jogs memories of late ’80s bliss); Readers’ Pages (We lead with a big burnout, add dueling burnouts and end with red-wheel hate mail); Action!! (Hemi power plus gnarly wheelspin equals a munched Willys); Straight Scoop (An obit for a legend next to Aussie slang and Paris Hilton just doesn’t seem right) Greasy Stuff – This Guy’s Garage (Like FE Fords? Not as much as this guy. Here’s a homebuild garage stuffed with vintage Ford iron); Speed Shop (Has anyone tried using an impact wrench as a power adder? Get to work); Horsepower! (Smith shows off a straight-six that makes more power than a lot of V-8s); Cool Shop Tools (Get some bar stock and fire up the MIG.

Yes, Alaska) Out Back – On The Rack (Dickies work shirts look much better on the models than they do on us); Junkyard Crawl (Magneto references Buck Rogers while pondering Fairmont Futuras. Awesome); Behind The Scenes (We visit R.E.M. mecca and bash our ’67 Mustang’s wheelhousings. Just a typical day); Rear View (Do you love the vintage stuff as much as we do?)
