How to Restore Your Jeep 1941-1986
It's not a truck or a car—it's a Jeep! Developed in the early 1940s as a light reconnaissance vehicle for the U.S. Army, the Jeep successfully transitioned from military usage to public use with the arrival of the CJ-2A in 1945. Many more CJ models followed, which cemented the Jeep as one of the most successful and longest-tenured models when the CJ-10A was discontinued in 1986. With more than 1.5 million Jeeps sold, a restoration book for these vehicles has been desperately needed. Author Mark Altschuler of restoremyjeep.com showcases his decades of experience in this must-have 176-page restoration book that features component restoration of all aspects of the timeless Jeep. Step-by-step procedures document the disassembly, restoration, and reassembly of your favorite models, while 445 color illustrations depict exactly what you're wanting to see as you address your project. "How to Restore Your Jeep: 1941–1986" from SA Design and CarTech is not only a handy resource that addresses the total restoration of your prized machine, but it will likely also be one of the most affordable tools that you'll purchase for your project.

How to Build Max Performance VW Air-Cooled Engines
The VW Beetle (officially the Volkswagen Type 1) needs no introduction. Manufactured and marketed globally by Volkswagen from 1938 to 2003, more than 21 million were produced and sold around the world. Extremely popular in the U.S. and Europe during the 1950s and '60s, increasing competition from Japanese, American, and European manufacturers—as well as stiffening demands for better safety and emissions—contributed to a sharp decline in sales in the early '70s. The Beetle was manufactured in much smaller numbers in Germany until the late 1970s, when production shifted to Brazil and Mexico, where operating cost was a was a large factor in keeping the Beetle alive. While simple and fun, the Beetle had simply become outdated. Of course, the enthusiast market did not see it that way. Aficionados loved the simplicity in the design, as well as its aesthetics—and enjoyed tinkering with the mechanicals of their Beetles, Buses, Type 3 models, and Karmann Ghias. There is no shortage of options when customizing your Beetle; and for many, extracting as much performance out of their air-cooled flat 4 was the way to go. Not only does it remedy the issue of keeping up with modern traffic, but Beetles also respond really well to modifications and have a robust aftermarket to support them. In this 144-page paperback, "VW Air-Cooled Engines: How to Build Max Performance," VW veteran Dr. John F. Kershaw lays the groundwork for getting the most possible power for your desired use and application. Covered here are the various power levels and components to get you there. It's all included: rotating assemblies, cylinder heads, cams and the valvetrain, engine blocks, ignitions systems, fuel injection, carburetors and induction, exhaust, sources for parts, and even turbos and superchargers. Are you looking for just a little more power to keep up with traffic or maybe a streetable high-performance machine? Perhaps you're interested in a little street/strip action or even all-out racing applications. All of your options are examined in this book from SA Design and CarTech. And you'll love the 245 color photos!
