Gearhead Garage was in the news recently. As many of you may know, the Speed Channel has a head to head competition between the Speed Channel All Stars and a new comer. GearHead was victorious in their efforts and will be taking home the two Corvettes that were produced as a result of the show. Check out the action on the Speed Channel! |

So Yesterday, I went out to the hangar to get the GTO out to wash it for tomorrows Car Show
over on Old Redwood Hiway, and as I opened the hood to disconnect the battery trickle charger -
What a surprise I got - this is what I found!
Notice on the second picture - on the right you can see the tail of the
third one crawling behind the battery.

We wanted to write and introduce you to the newly elected 2011/2012 Executive Board and Board of Directors for the Association of California Car Clubs (ACCC). As you may know we just completed our Spring Legislative Conference in Sacramento and are looking forward to a productive year in 2011/2012. Fighting legislation and/or regulations that threaten the collector vehicle hobby will continue to be our top priority but we’re also looking to have some fun along the way. It takes money to run the ACCC and we will be planning some fun type fundraisers in the coming year. We will also be celebrating our 40th Anniversary in March of 2012 and we’re looking to do it in a big way.

13 Rookie Engine-Building Mistakes And How To Avoid Them! - Blowin' The
Build
From the April, 2011 issue of Popular Hot Rodding / By Steve Dulcich /
Photography by Steve Dulcich
The precision work of engine building is an endeavor that leaves little
room for error. People make mistakes, but when mistakes happen in the
engine-building process, redemption doesn't usually come as easily as
hoping no one will notice, or asking for forgiveness. An engine is
pretty intolerant of mechanical errors, and it will let you know,
sometimes by not making the power you think it should, and sometimes
with the poignancy of a calamitous, catastrophic failure. If you are
lucky, you might be able to fix it, or start over and build it again.
Other times the entire effort is reduced to a pile of scrap.
