JET-AWESOME
We’ve seen lots of cool, stout VWs over the years, but only a few awesome Jettas have made us do a double- and triple-take, which is just what happened when we first caught a glimpse of Todd Sollar’s awesome wide-body Jetta. Our mindset went from “damn” to “wow” about that quickly.
ONE-WEEKEND WONDER
Instant gratification. It’s an addicting thing whereby somewhat suddenly, you find compete satisfaction. It’s the opposite of long, laborious projects that linger on for years, doling out their pain and pleasure in measured portions along the way. Sure, it can be fulfilling, but few things are more fun than putting things in fast-forward and doing what should take a long time in a short time. TV shows are based on just such rewards in this ever-accelerating time we live in, and in a reversal, we now find life imitating art as hot rodders do their own versions of Overhaulin’; we like to call it Over-Thrashin’. Generally, there are no cameras whirling, no lights and no scripts. It’s just a bunch of hot rodders, a good garage and maybe stacks of empty pizza and parts boxes in the corner.
All Mocked Up
When building a street rod, unless you are building it to look like the day it rolled off the showroom floor, you find yourself constantly hiding whatever you can, wherever you can. One area that usually ends up hiding more items than was ever intended is the dashboard.
The dash is the one area that lives up to the old saying, “10 pounds of stuff in a 5-pound bag,” which generally carries with it a whole set of challenges and/or problems. When it comes to the ’33-’34 Ford, conditions are worse than normal, as there’s practically no space behind or under the dash. By the time you place your gauges and an A/C unit, there is little room left for much else, including a glovebox. When your needs are such that you require a certain amount of equipment behind the dash, most of the time the answer to your dilemma is a smooth dash.

Comparison to GM/Continental Fuel Content Sensor
Why settle for less when you can have the best? The E-Sense by Advanced Fuel Dynamics is a significant upgrade over the GM/Continental fuel content sensor. The GM/Continental sensor is designed for standard fuel systems and simply can’t keep up with the high demands of performance applications. The E-Sense offers up to 12 times the fuel flow rate, making it the superior choice for high-flow systems. Its modular fittings provide greater flexibility, allowing it to be tailored for different configurations. The elimination of the bypass line is another key advantage, simplifying high-flow systems. The compact design makes installation easier in tight spaces, while the hardened electronics ensure long-lasting reliability. Plus, it delivers more precise data with outputs for fuel content, fuel temperature, and fuel pressure—features the GM/Continental sensor just doesn’t provide.
