here’s no reason to let auto buffs, washed up MTV hip hop artists and the Teutul dynasty have all the custom mods
fun. Even un-tattooed, decidedly un-Teutuliar open boaters can reap the benefits of home tuning. And it doesn’t have to cost a rapper’s squandered fortune. Take a lesson from the budget strokers and rice burners in the pages of Car Craft and
Import Tuner and do more with less. Replacing a couple $5 thigh strap anchors, or spending just five minutes adjusting said straps correctly, can make your old beater perform as well as the slickest new digger and have you hanging louies, roscoes and U-turns—er, S-turns—with the best. Turn the page for more performance- and appearance-enhancing suggestions from canoeing Modfather Brian Shields. —VM
