Amato challenges fellow racers to help fight illegal street racing

Joe Amato, the most decorated driver in Top Fuel history with 52 national event wins and five NHRA titles, will serve as spokesman for SEMA's Racers Against Street Racing (RASR) program in 2004 and beyond.

"Going fast is cool," Amato said. "I built my career around going fast, but we've all seen too many kids dying for no reason. You can't pick up a newspaper or watch the news these days without seeing another needless tragedy.

"I think it's time for the racing community as a whole to band together and get the message across to our young people that illegal street racing is a killer," added Amato. "We all understand the need for speed and the exhilaration of beating the guy in the other lane, but why be stupid about it? We can make a big impact if kids start hearing this message from their racing heroes."

Amato's representation of the RASR program has already begun; he displayed the RASR logo on his Darrell Russell-driven Top Fuel dragster at the ACDelco Las Vegas NHRA Nationals. The logo will become a permanent part of Amato's race car, and he hopes other teams will follow.

Windshield Wiper Arm Repair and Removal

On My Acura Integra, my wiper arms were starting to have the Paint peel off revealing the shiny metal underneath in some parts, while other areas were regular OEM Black. I decided to paint them over with a new coat of Flat Black Paint.

Here is the Duplicolor Paint I used:

Duplicolor Trim Paint

To take off the wipers on my Integra, there was simply two 14mm nuts holding on the Wiper Arms at the base of the Wiper Arms. Once I removed the two nuts, you simply pry off the wiper arm. They were a little tight, but they come off.

Here are a few pictures of the wipers off the car, and showing the condition they are in.

First steps are to give it a light sanding. Sanding the piece helps promote adhesion for painting so that your Paint job lasts. I used 320 grit sandpaper I had lying around.

Once you complete sanding, make sure to wash and wipe off all loose sanding dust from the wiper arms. Some soapy water works well, and is what I used. Here is a picture after this is done, and the wipers are ready to paint.

Here is a coat of paint on the Wiper Arms:

Here is the Final Coat (I waited 10 minutes between my coats, as was instructed on the can, and applied 3 coats of paint):

After letting it dry for 1 hour (the can said to wait 1 hour), I installed them back onto the car. Here are the results:

A great job indeed, and the Wiper Arms look like new with this paint job.
