There’s lots of neat, new stuff out there, if only someone would tell us about it. There are a bunch of late-model parts that we could use to upgrade classic musclecars, if only we could locate them. There are easier ways to wrench, if only someone would let us in on those "secrets." And there are ways to cut costs without cutting quality. In the following pages, Car Craft has gathered 101 tips that run the gamut from trick new parts to low-buck, homegrown how-tos. Some of the tips come from experts in the field, some are direct from our industry’s leading manufacturers--but quite a few were contributed by talented home mechanics just like you. Witness the car in this opening page: a 1966 Nova owned by Andy Sable that’s chock-full of more clever ideas than O.J. Simpson&8217s defense team. But not only does Andy have all these great parts on his car; as a man on a budget (and who isn’t these days?), he’s also come up with a bunch of home-built tools and shop equipment that you’ll see along with the other tips on the following pages. We’ve got tons of tips, none of them Dalmations. So select the topic you’re interested in, read on, enjoy, and happy wrenchin’.
