One of the many reasons we attend classic car shows and events is the valuable information you can find there. Whether it's cleaning tips, outstanding product lines, easy fixes to mechanical problems or learning about the history of a particular marque, classic car owners love to share their stories.

That got us thinking that our readers probably have helpful automotive maintenance tips they might want to share and we would pass them on. Of those of you who respond, we will post the top ten tips, giving you credit of course, on our website.

My 2 favorite maintenance tools

For me there are 2 tools that I always reach for first when doing work on my classic cars, and neither are kept in my tool box! The 1st is a small and slightly dented digital camera (from dropping it a few times). Before I touch anything, I snap several shots of the parts to be removed or worked on. The more intricate or complex the part or assembly, the more shots I'll take. The 2nd is an old laptop, where I store and organize my photos and notes with a software tool called Collector Car Companion. These 2 tools help me stay organized and provides great documentation of the work I've performed on my vehicles.
