Building a component car, even though it may be considered complete, usually requires some effort in gathering parts, accomplishing niggling little details, or finding some good ideas that could be incorporated in the project. We know, by the volume of mail you send us and the popularity of such regular Kit Car features as Kit Tech, installation stories, and product round-ups, that you are always hungry for information on how to do something easier or how to find a component to make a job cheaper and better. Included in this piece are some cool new products we've found to make life easier in the garage, as well as some time-honored tips and advice from those who've gone before you. We hope some of these little short subjects will help or even inspire you. Every time we put one of these stories together, we pick up some new bit to incorporate into our projects. We would encourage you to help us with these tips and tricks by telling us about something you've discovered that would help a fellow kit-car builder.
