HOT ROD WIRING KITS
By Jay Storer (reprint) Courtesy Street Rodder Magazine
The test mule at Sacramento Vintage Ford was Bud Bryan's new '29 roadster pickup. Working under it is wiring guy and all-around guru, Ron Palmer....... or is it?
Outside of the world of original Ford Model T's, A's and V-8 restoration, most rodders have been unaware that inside the Sacramento Vintage Ford warehouse is a section called "production."
This is where staff utilizes ancient machines to produce concours - stock, cloth-covered wiring harnesses for early Fords that feature all the correct terminals, brass bullet connectors, and other OEM details.
Over the years, those "crossover" guys (lucky stiffs with both a restored Ford or two and a hot rod) would come to the counter at Sacramento Vintage Ford and ask why they couldn't get an old-school wiring harness for their hot rod.
Now it happens that one of the people who make the Ford harnesses is our friend of 40 years, Bud Bryan, one of the pivotal editors of Rod & Custom, a man who was part of the R&C team that got '70-era rodders to start thinking about Flatheads, traditional cars, and long-distance driving to events. After a rod hiatus of eons, Bryan is finishing off a '29 roadster pickup full of collected old-school goodies.

  Music...It's deep in our roots. We live it, breathe it and make it kick! In 1973, KICKER's Livin' Loud legacy began as a two-man operation, hand-building professional-speaker systems in a narrow one-car garage. With very few resources and an intense love for music, company founder and current President Steve Irby invented the mobile-stereo enclosure market in his northern Oklahoma community, when he developed the Original KICKER. It was the first full frequency-range speaker box designed specifically for cars and trucks. From that historic moment, delivering concert-like audio quality across a wide volume range with renowned bass and accurate sound has always been the KICKER way. KICKER graces the Stillwater, Okla., skyline and has stayed true to the values from which the company was built. KICKER products are designed and shipped from a 280,000-square-foot facility that houses nearly 200 energetic individuals who constantly push the limits of audio-design technology and performance. KICKER products are currently sold by approximately 1,200 authorized dealers in the United States, and export sales are managed through a network of distributors serving over 2,000 dealers in approximately 50 countries. Aaron Hagar's 'Red Voodoo' 1946 GMC is seriously KICKER EQUIPPED! and Aaron's Red Voodoo GMC is also: Red Voodoo left her spot over in the corner of our showroom, then went to the SEMA SHOW in Las Vegas and is now having a few things tweaked and fine tuned by the folks at So-Cal Speed Shop in Pomona.

RICK'S RESTORATIONS
Whether it�s a giant gas pump from the 1940s or a Hopalong Cassidy bicycle from the 1950s, every restoration is a high-stakes business project where worthless rust is transformed into a valuable collectible. However, these restorations aren�t easy. Every project presents unique challenges for Rick and his team. When it comes to restoration, Rick Dale is the go-to guy. Rick is the owner of Las Vegas-based Rick's Restorations, a family business that finds, restores and up-cycles cool objects ranging from Cadillacs to Coke Machines.
Rick's very nice Ford F-1 Pickup. Did we mention Rick & Kelly Dale's pickup is:
800 W. Mesquite Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89106
While we were in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show, we had the opportunity to stop by and visit with Rick and Kelly Dale and the Rick's Restoration crew! Rick was kind enough to take the time give us a personal tour of the entire Rick's Restorations operation. Thanks Rick, Kelly and crew! And...Thank You Rick, Kelly and crew for your support of our Vintage Friday's Make-A-Wish efforts!

 Available at Sacramento Vintage Ford 
IS YOUR GARAGE:
 VINTAGE CAR MOTOR OIL from Surf City Garage
The moment in 1985 when the Federal Government mandated that all new cars have catalytic converters installed changed everything for every car built before then. Before catalytic converters were used, most engine oil contained zinc and phosphorus to coat and protect the engine's internal parts - specifically, the camshaft and the lifters - from premature wear. So why did the oil companies reduce or remove zinc from engine oil if we need it to protect our engines? CLICK on the motor oil above to read on. 2000 PPM Zinc for maximum camshaft protection * Formulated with a unique blend of conventional base oils and performance additives to help prevent and even correct minor oil leaks
*
Enhanced detergent and dispersant levels to protect from rust and corrosion that can occur during prolonged storage. Also used to reduce sludge buildup left behind from years of using inferior oils.
*
Three viscosity grades: 10W-40, 20W-50 & SAE30

One of the most dramatic displays in Henry Ford Museum is the "exploded" Model T-a 1924 Model T touring car with its constituent parts suspended by wires. Located at the entrance to the Made in America exhibition, it invites visitors to take a different look at an iconic American product.
Henry Ford's Model T automobile is one of the most significant technological devices of the 20th century. Its clever engineering and low price allowed it to do what could only be done once-make the automobile widely popular. The Model T spawned mass automobility, altering our living patterns, our leisure activities, our landscape, even our atmosphere. The Model T's influence is so pervasive and lasting that even people who know little about old cars or automotive history know the name "Model T."
But the way the Model T was produced is as iconic as the car itself. When Ford Motor Company introduced the Model T in October 1908, firearms, watches, and sewing machines were already being assembled from interchangeable parts made on specialized machines. Ford successfully adapted these techniques to the much more complex automobile, and then crowned this achievement with the development of the moving assembly line in late 1913.

RUSTED DEVELOPMENT RETURNS FOR A SECOND SEASON TO DISCOVERY CHANNEL ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 AT 10PM ET/PT
Rick Dore and Chuck Palumbo are back with a new garage and more unexplored hoards
Hidden just out of sight in backyards and garages across the country are vast treasure troves of an Americana relic-- classic cars. Custom car guru, Rick Dore and WWE superstar Chuck Palumbo are back to rebuild legendary cars and transform lives in the return of RUSTED DEVELOPMENT (fka Lords of the Car Hoards) to premiere on Discovery Channel Monday, September 7 at 10 PM/ET.
After being forced to shut the doors to SLAM garage in the previous season, our two car experts are reopening SLAM, and jumping back into the "hoarder scene" with challenges more daunting than ever. This season has everything from six-figure builds including a 1937 Zephyr (the "holy grail" of custom cars), to a Vietnam war veteran who hopes to honor his late father's memory by rebuilding a 1957 Thunderbird. Palumbo also takes on a project very close to his heart- restoring his father's 1965 Corvette, a car that set him on his career path. Each episode of RUSTED DEVELOPMENT features Dore and Palumbo helping car hoarders by offering them the deal of a lifetime: pick any one dream car from their overcrowded collection to get a custom rebuild. The catch: they have to cover the costs of the remake by parting with and selling other cars and parts from their massive hoard. Many of these car hoards have been collected over a lifetime and even with the promise of a priceless new custom car, the separation anxiety sets in as car owners can't let go.
Dore, a classic car legend known for his vivid imagination, has been in the custom car building game for decades. A member of numerous automotive halls of fame, the recipient of three top awards at the 2014 Grand National Roadster Show (where he debuted The Aquarius, which he built for James Hetfield of Metallica), his one-of-a-kind creations regularly grace the covers of hot rod magazines.
Palumbo, the 6'6" athlete and wrestling superstar holds many world wrestling titles, including two WWE Tag team titles and four WCW World Tag Team titles. He left WWE in 2008 to pursue his passion for cars and motorcycles.

All-new 750cfm BIG97 Tri-Power from Stromberg Carburetor
New BIG97 makes traditional carburetion available to a new performance audience.Stromberg Carburetor is excited to announce the all-new BIG97 Tri-Power. On the outside, it's all Genuine 97 - the original hot rod 3x2. But on the inside, an incredible 750cfm air flow makes traditional hot rod carburetion available to a whole new performance audience.
Designed on the classic Primary/Secondary format with many new and exclusive features, the all-new BIG97 Tri-Power is the perfect bolt-on for your performance small block Chevy or Ford.BIG 750cfm airflow - 55% more air than regular 97sSignature 97 outside shape - No change!New power valve circuits improve fuel conditioningNew 'early plenum effect' boosts top end powerPorted distributor vacuum adds mid range torqueProgressive linkages and classic 3-into-1 fuel line availableRuns out of the box. Pre-jetted for typical SBC/SBF Stromberg owner, Clive Prew said: "With 750cfm in a three-carb package on a progressive linkage, you can cruise economically on the single Primary, then punch in the Secondaries when you step on the gas. BIG97s reduce the level of vacuum the engine has to pull to get the air it needs, which promotes higher air/fuel density. They also reduce mixture velocity which allows that denser, fuel-heavy air an easier, less turbulent, turn into the inlet manifold. Coupled with improved fuel conditioning, it all adds up to more power for your rear wheels."From the outset, Stromberg's aim was to re-engineer the 97 venturi and throttle body to maximize airflow without changing the signature outside shape. But achieving as much as 250cfm per carburetor - some 55% more than a regular new 97 (at 162cfm) is only part of the story.
