The latest issue of the Shelby American arrived in the mail over the weekend and there were a couple of items of interest concerning winter storage. First of all there was a short article describing

TeriAnn, If your interested, I can send you a copy of the article on refinishing wooden steering wheels. The procedure would probably be similar to doing the finish on a veneer panel with the except

While those expensive domestic bench vices are nice, I think the cheapie imported ones are adequate for just about all home use. Some of them actually look pretty good (to me anyway) and the cost is

One question and a comment: I notice that some of the innards of my brake and clutch cylinders have a black coating on them. Is this some kind of special paint or just a reaction of the metal to the
