  • Race Car Wing Coat Hook
    Race Car Wing Coat Hook
    Ever hung your hat on a race car's nose? I thought not!

    A big smile crossed my face when I saw this piece. Styled after the front nose wing of a Formula One race car complete with air intakes and graphics. Mount it on a wall and use it as a decoration but there's more! In addition to looking really cool it works as a coat or hat rack. Put a few up in your kids room and they'll stop throwing their jacket on the floor. Well, maybe. Hang a couple in your garage and hang your favorite cap on an endplate. Finished in bright red. Made from heavy duty die cast metal the piece measures 6 1/4" across the wing's endplates and stands 4 3/4" out from the wall. Mounting hardware is included, of course.

    Handbook 282: 1946 Mercury Woody

    The owner of this wonderful car found it in the Laguna Beach, California classified ads shortly after it had endured a flash flood. There was a water line at the middle of the doors and he spent days cleaning the mud out of the floors and from inside the doors. The car had a scant 51,000 miles when purchased.

    Hot Rod Enterprises in Auburn, Washington restored the car leaving no detail untouched. When restoration began, the body was separated from the original frame, engine, drive train, and a donor frame of the same year and model was found. Then the fun began! The "Fleetwoody" painted graphic on the spare tire is a nod to the powerplant, a monster 500 cubic inch Cadillac with 430 hp. Inside and out, the maple and mahogany wood was book-matched and finished to perfection. The original gold color was changed to an arresting bright yellow, and the 6-volt electrical system was modernized to 12-volt.

    Thanks to our customer for sharing this cool car with us. He's had it for over 10 years and drives it whenever he wants to have a little fun. Speaking of fun, the license plate on this combustible cruiser reads "Kinling"!

  • Battery Manager III
    Preparing to store a vehicle for the winter?
    Our microchip-controlled Battery Manager III is an essential tool!

    Whether you have a modern car with sophisticated electronics that constantly drains the battery, or you are storing any type of vehicle for extended periods of time, you're going to need our Battery Manager III. Leave your vehicle unattended for 2-4 weeks? Keep that up and you'll be replacing a very expensive battery in no time. I went overboard in redesigning the Battery Manager III. It's really trick. So sophisticated is the micro-chip technology, you don't have to worry about a thing. It even has a "desulphation mode" that sends an electrical pulse to help revive sulphated batteries that were dying! Performs its magic on any 12-volt lead-acid battery, even gel-cell batteries used in motorcycles and boats! The water resistant housing allows the Battery Manager III to be used indoors or outdoors. (Notice I didn't say underwater, though we tested it that way!) The magnetic base allows you to mount it inside the engine compartment if desired. Even if you didn't know the red lead is supposed to be hooked up to the positive terminal, a built in electrical detector would prevent sparking and the warning light glows if the polarity is crossed. There are two choices for hooking the unit up to your battery: simple alligator clips, or permanent rings with a quick disconnect plug. I like the "quick disconnect" option so when I'm done with my occasional Sunday drive, I simply plug the leads up and go! This is not your typical "trickle charger" you've seen elsewhere. This device is designed to keep batteries at full charge without overcharging or boiling out battery fluids. Additional 29 1/2" long quick disconnect accessory cables are available.
