Subject: [Fot] AUTOWEEK March 7th edition...

I am a long time subscriber to AUTOWEEK. I always read the weekly =
competition section, and then I quickly scan most of the rest of each =
issue. That quick scan has gotten even quicker recently as I think =
AUTOWEEK too is suffering with transition issues, not unlike those of =
the Peter Egan-less ROAD & TRACK.
=20
Anyway, the current (March 7th) edition is really different with a bunch =
of hands on, DIY articles. Some good articles, including one by Jay =
Leno about finding knowledgeable parts sales people. Jay knows his =
onions, and that's no surprise. Another interesting article is about a =
94 year old Kustom Kar builder of the George Barris ilk. In fact his =
shop is right down the street from George Barris's old place. The guys =
still goes to work every day, and says he will until the day he dies. =
Still works with lead (for God's sake). Not an engineer. He does not =
work from drawings. But building custom convertible top mechanisims is =
a specialty he is known for. He is mentoring a grandson in what's =
becoming a lost art.
=20
Like I say...an interesting edition of AUTOWEEK.
