Most normal people drive modern cars with computer controlled everything, and they seldom over heat. If you folks are like me (and I know you are because I’m an Eastwood guy too) you likely drive a special car that is more than a few years old and may have a carburetor, purely mechanical forms of engine control (or manual, driver controlled) systems, and a motor butting out a lot more power and heat than the factory ever provided. Some of the common advice for what to do in case of an overheating car works no matter what car you are driving, but older cars sometime require special care.

2014 Street Rodder Road Tour Car and Eastwood Summer Classic Date Announced
2014 marks the fourth year of the annual Eastwood Summer Classic show and shine. Each year we open our grounds for enthusiasts to come and show off their rides here at Eastwood Headquarters. It’s also become a tradition and an official stop for the east coast leg of the Street Rodder Road Tour. Each year Street Rodder Magazine has one of the top hot rod and custom shops in the country put together a new car for them to tour the country with. We’re honored that these shops use Eastwood tools and supplies to restore and customize the car each year and we’re always excited to see what they do!

I decided to skip town and get out of the record cold temps in Eastwood-Country to check out the show.
