Wrenchin’ Wednesday: Leaving a Paper Trail

Record keeping is the unsung skill of hot rodding. Settle that knee-jerk reaction to toss instructions and paperwork in the trash, says Classic Trucks‘ Ryan Manson. Staying organized means more than just keeping 9/16th sockets stocked, it means creating a paper trail on your project. “When I’m unboxing everything, I’ll throw all the paperwork into one place — instructions, invoices, everything,” Ryan mentioned. The end goal is at that you’ll have a project car folder stuffed full of reference material that not only holds part numbers, diagrams, and invoices for later identification, but also a wealth of tech info on more critical parts.

Wrenchin’ Wednesday is a weekly garage-hackamajig, making wrenching great again with small tips that make working on your project easier, cheaper, and maybe even a bit faster. We’re probably not the first with any of these ideas, but you won’t be the last to know every Wednesday!

The other week we talked about how to quickly diagnose a dead cylinder with header temps.
