1970 El Camino, Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine No Comments

My 1970 El Camino SS was featured in December, 2008 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine



An excerpt from the magazine is below. 


Eleven-second timeslips are earned, not lucked into. At a recent test and tune afternoon at California Speedway in Fontana, owner Jeff Paulin of Mission Viejo, California, hit a number of milestones specific to this particular 1970 El Camino: First, he broke into the 11s, running an 11.928 quarter-mile, storming through the traps at 113.71 mph. Second, on the way home, he turned 200,000 miles on the clock.

This is a very proud moment for me and a culmination of a lot of hard work. We pride our self in our attention to detail and at A Terrific Tint we treat every car like it is our own.

As the economy tightens we are all looking for more value in our purchases tinting your windows can be a affordable way to customize your cars look and feel. 

Window tint can provide many benefits to you, your car and your family. Here is a list of seven great reasons to consider tinting your car or truck. 
1.) Avoid Overheating


During the warmer months we have all experienced the oven that we call our car. Your car’s interior can be 60% cooler during those hot summer days with proper tinting. This is especially important if you have young children or pets who can be easily affected by exposure to high heats.

2.) Protect Your Skin

Harmful UV rays from the sun can cause skin cancer. Sun exposure also prematurely ages the skin. Tinting your car can block 99% of these damaging rays. Window tint is so effective at protecting your skin that The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends tint as a device for skin protection.

3.) Accident Protection

If you are ever in an accident you want to have as much protection as possible. In an auto accident, tinting can help shattered glass hold together, protecting the occupants of the car.

4.) Safer Driving

Tinting reduces dangerous glare from the sun, snow, and other headlights, helping you drive safely.

5.) Enhanced Privacy

Tinting protects your privacy and contents within a car. What a burglar can’t see, he won’t steal. This is also a valuable asset for celebrity’s and others who would like to maintain some privacy in their cars.

6.) Prevent Cracking and Fading

Harmful UV rays and heat cause car upholstery to crack and fade. Car tint is sunscreen for your car. We all want our cars interior to look good. window tint helps keep your interior looking as good as the day you got your car.

7.)  Aesthetics

Lets face it a tinted car just looks good! Tint is a great way to add visual stimulus and a touch of personality to your car. You look good in sun glasses and so does your car.

We have all been warned about the effects of UV light, but what are you doing to protect your self from the sun’s harmful effects?

UV light is direct radiation from the sun. The sun emits ultraviolet radiation in the form of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. Earths ozone layer absorbs the majority of UVB and UVC rays so 98.7% of the ultraviolet light that reaches the Earth’s surface is UVA.
 
Ordinary glass is partially transparent to UVA. Ordinary window glass passes about 90% of UVA light.
 
Prolonged exposure to ultra violet light has been shown to damage the skin and result in acute and chronic health effects on the skin, eye, and immune system including, accelerated aging of the skin and cancer.
 
Research has shown that drivers are more prone to skin cancers on the side closest to the window. Window tint is an effective way to protect your self from harmful UV light.
 
We proudly sell LLumar UVShield® window film that is proven to fight harmful ultraviolet light, providing 99.9% UVA and UVB protection. 

 

UVShield® is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as a device for skin protection and a vital part of an overall program to reduce exposure to UV light.
