Saint Louis Performance

Your guide to garage builds, restoration and performance parts.

Built for people who keep old cars running

Saint Louis Performance is a guide for classic-car owners who do their own work, in a home garage, on a budget. Every collection here starts with a real problem: an engine that vapor-locks in traffic, points that won't stay in adjustment, a car too low for the floor jack. Each pick says what it fixes, who it fits and what to check before you order. We don't sell parts: every link goes to the shop that does, and the prices you see come from that shop.

Frustration Fixes

Fixes for the failures that make an old car miserable to drive, aimed at the cause rather than the symptom.

Weak-Link Upgrades

Factory components built to 1960s tolerances, and the reversible upgrades that make them dependable.

The Home Garage

Equipment for doing real work in a single-car garage, without a lift and without a shop's budget.

Weekend Projects

Self-contained jobs you can start Saturday morning and finish Sunday, and everything each one needs.

Seasonal Prep

What to do before the car sits for the winter, and before it comes back out.

Affiliate disclosure

This site earns commission on qualifying purchases made through the merchant links it carries. A commission never changes the price you pay.

What we are paid does not decide what we recommend or how we rank it. Merchant links are added to picks the Site has already made, and a Product with no commercial relationship is ranked on the same terms as one that has one.

Prices and availability are set by the merchant and change frequently. We show a price only while our reading of it is still current by that merchant's own policy, and show a link to the merchant instead of a number whenever it is not.
