| In this edition of Eastwood Garage, Sean Hughes from Classic Industries is on hand to discuss some performance upgrades for restorations. Dennis begins by talking about one of the latest trends in classic car restoration: the resto-mod! This trend incorporates classic old-school looks with modern performance technology. Now Classic Industries stocks an array of parts to insure that your classic has the “go” to compete with the “show!”
Sean begins by telling Dennis that on certain occasions when people are restoring their cars, they simply can’t go back to original parts. However, there is good news - especially concerning engine parts. For example, Sean notes that today’s manifolds and carburetors are bigger and more efficient than older factory models. Sean also said that there are new and improved throttle bodies for tuned port injection engines as well. Headers are another way to improve performance and efficiency. Who wouldn’t want more performance and better gas mileage? Classic Industries also has new high-performance oil pans to help with oil control for your vehicle. For the inside, Classic Industries offers after-market performance shifters from Hurst and B&M, and to improve amperage for your car, they offer high-performance alternators and starters. If you want your “sleeper” to handle better, they also carry a full supply of tubular upper and lower control arms and a full line of coil-over shocks. So, Classic Industries is your “one-stop shop” to make your classic car better than new!
