Of the legendary names in the history of the Ford Mustang, one standsapart: BOSS. Originally created to homologate the new Boss 302 enginefor SCCA Trans-Am racing, the Boss 302 Mustang debuted for the 1969model year and was built in limited numbers for the street. Designed bythe legendary Larry Shinoda, the Boss cars were easily distinguished fromtheir less potent stablemates by their race-bred powerplants, standardspoilers, and bold graphics. With no small amount of fanfare today, Ford is paying homage to its performance past with the reintroduction of the 5.0-liter V-8 in theMustang GT. Though no longer the iron-block, pushrod Windsor engineof yore, the newest iteration of Ford’s DOHC, modular V-8 is the mostpotent base-GT motor yet, topping 400 horsepower.

Some folks find their way to the bright white side of the tracks, but there’s
a small percentage who run through the dark alleys of life. Even a smaller
portion of those survive. Terry “the Tramp,” born in 1947 to a broken
middle-class home in Alhambra, California, grew up with a violent chip
on his shoulder. Terry became the international president of one of the
most notorious one percenter motorcycle clubs in southern California, the
Vagos MC, and remained in office through upheaval, indictments, drugs,
and gang wars for 26 years, until he was unceremoniously extricated.
He is still a member after 42 years and never went to prison until 2010.
This book takes the reader on a turbulent ride through Terry’s notorious
life, each page sizzling with violent tales wrapped in a razor-sharp edge.
Through it all, we come to learn what propelled this stout, unassuming
man into a leadership role lasting over two decades.

Automotive wiring is a primary skill required for proper completion and
safe operation of any custom build, whether it is a traditional custom, hot
rod, or classic daily driver. While restorers typically have the option of
buying a new or reproduction wiring harness, custom enthusiasts often
have few options except to figure out how to do it themselves. This book
guides builders through every step from determining what components
they need, to selecting wire type and gauge, methods of connection, and
other considerations. The book includes numerous charts showing typical
configurations and suggested installations. A troubleshooting section lends
a hand in tracking down the inevitable problems that can arise.
