Retro Security: Keeping a New Challenger’s Hood in Place With Old School Flair

Dodge really nailed it when it reintroduced the Challenger; include the T/A-inspired Mopar hood and you’ve really got a winning combination.  These cars just scream retro, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be improved. The addition of functional hood pins, just like the original cars had back in the days of leaded gasoline and bias ply tires would be a great addition.

Roadshow Revival – Tribute to Johnny Cash

 

The Roadshow Revival has something for the whole family this Father’s Day weekend. We love a car show with incredible music. This sixth annual event is paying tribute to the legendary country singer at the beachside Ventura County Fairgrounds. There will be all kinds of music being played there, as well as Johnny Cash tribute bands, naturally. This year’s headliner is Los Lobos.

Removable Windshield Wipers for Roadsters: When Rain-X Isn’t Enough

In our opinion, windshield wipers don’t look good on roadsters!  Good looking or not, sometimes Ran-X isn’t enough to do the job and wipers are really needed. The “sometimes” is usually on a Sunday afternoon when you are several hundred miles from home, driving in a frog-strangling rain, and you need to be at work on Monday morning.  Rain-X is an excellent product and works 98-percent of the time; this removable wiper is for the other 2-percent of the time.

Blue Oval Power: Building a Ford Racing 392 for EFI Performance

Turning our web browsers towards Ford Racing Performance Parts, reveals a drop down menu with a number of short and long block engine configurations that can be ordered for our muscle cars. Ford Racing offers everything from mild small blocks, through the 4.6L modular engines, and even the supercharged 5.4L normally found under the hood of the GT500 Mustang. One engine configuration that was offered but has since been discontinued is the 430hp, 392ci bracket race engine. The engine existed under Ford part number M-6007-A392 for the long block topped by GT-40 aluminum heads, or the short block could be found under part number M-6009-B392. Since the engine has been discontinued, what are the Blue Oval guys supposed to do?
