“ Ya Gotta know where to Go….The FUN Starts Here….”

“the fun starts here”…. 4
December 2011
Christmas music is in the air ( has been since
Halloween and that aint right…too early) and
the temps are lower these days…even in
California!! Must mean Santa is tuning up the
sleigh and filling it with some 110 octane, and
you thought it was reindeer motorvating the big
red ride.
2011 is fast drawing to a close. Seems like
each passing year is moving closer to warp
speed 10 Scotty!! Slow it down a little
paleeezzzeee!!!! Throttle back…lift your foot
off the go pedal...apply brakes just a little.
Is it just me or do all of
you feel it too, this
speed thing where time
just vaporizes. The next
thing you know its time
to leave your favorite
show or cruise nite and
you just go there.
I swear I was just at the
Nashville Auto Fest
event yesterday. BAM
I am at GOODGUYS
Nashville. Next thing I
am enjoying the Redneck Rumble and then it’s
the annual Midnight Rodders Fall Color Cruise
coming by with over 120 cool rides for me to
see cruising some of the most scenic roads
around.
A lot of other fun stuff happens in between all
this, but it seems like you can never get
enough, cause time is passing by so fast. I
haven't checked off anything on the bucket list
this year and that’s not good. The list gets
longer and the time gets shorter…definitely not
fair.
Point being, make every day count. I know I
am…everyday and every hour.
As the year closes so ends Volume 11 of the
GEARHEAD GAZZETTE.
It was a big year for the GG. We turned the
newsletter into and on-line magazine or e-zine
as they are called. We tripled the number of
pages of GEARHEAD fun we are able to bring
you.
We had a few growing pains with this new
format but we have worked thru those and I
would like to believe that it will be smooth
cruising in 2012 for the GG.
I appreciate all of your
feedback. It helps me
make this a better
publication for all of you.
Keep the feedback and
comments coming
please.
Let me say thank you
to all of you for reading
the GEARHEAD
GAZZETTE. As I have
already wrote about,
time is a precious commodity these days, so
you taking time out of your day to read the
GAZZETTE means a lot.
Thank you to our advertisers also. I would ask that
you take a look at them the next time you need
something for your ride or GEARHEAD life style.
They are all great folks.
Finally, let me wish you a very MERRY
CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and prosperous NEW
YEAR. Please keep all our military members in your
thoughts and prayers as they stand guard for our
freedoms.
Finally please remember the real reason for the
season. There’s a birthday party on the 25th and
your invited.
where did it go???
ROAD RUMBLINGS… By Jimmy B

December 2011
OOP’s!!! We have to make a correction for last months issue. We erroneously listed the
cover shot as having been done by Wolf Motorsports magazine. WRONG!!!!! Credit
goes to Jimmy Lowe for that great cover shot. Sorry about that.
Congratulations to GM & Chevrolet on
reaching 100 years of great cars & trucks. Not
many brands or automobile manufacturer’s
can say that!! Here’s some interesting history
and facts on the Chevy story….
Chevrolet Motor Car Co. was incorporated
on November 3, 1911
The Chevy bow Tie Emblem was applied to
a Chevrolet in 1914 by Billy Durant CEO of
Chevrolet at the time. As Durant told it, he’d
seen the design on the wallpaper of a hotel
room in Paris.
1912 Chevrolet had a 120 inch wheelbase
and a 299c.i. six cylinder engine in it.
First Chevy truck appeared in 1918
1927 Chevy outsells Ford
1932 1of 3 cars sold is a Chevy.
The SUBURBAN is the longest running
nameplate in the auto industry. It was
launched in 1935.
Chevy offered the first low priced car with
an automatic transmission, the 2 spd
Powerglide unit in 1950 at a cost of
$159.00
―SEE THE U-S-A in your Chevrolet‖ sung
by TV’s Dinah Shore starting in 1951.
More than 1 million IMPALA’s were sold in
1965, still a record for production of a
single nameplate.
The Chevy ―SS‖ Super Sport designation
first appeared in 1961 as a special option
on the Impala.
Here is STREET RODDER Magazines Street Rod of the Year!! Owned by Dan Bredbury of Durham CT. 1932 Ford Hi-Boy coupe, with a 348 sporting 6 deuces on top. Its got a Jag Rr end out back with 3 pedals working a Tremac 5-spd trans. Very Cool!!
We want to give a shout out to the
MURFREESBORO HOT ROD CLUB. They host
an AWESOME Cruise nite each year and collect
donations from the attendees, to provide help to
those in need in the community. Recently they
presented $500.00 worth of WAL-MART GIFT
Cards to Journeys Home in Murfreesboro TN.

Here is the 2011 Winner of the title AMERICA’s
MOST BEAUTIFUL ROADSTER. This black
beauty was built at Squeeg’s Kustoms in Arizona
The Take Out T built by Russ Freund in his home shop
Every January, one of the BEST car shows is held in Southern Calif at the Pomona Fairplex. A show steeped in history. To win here is the highlight of professional builders and all those “little guys” doing it in their home garage.
As the time gets close for the 2012 edition of this show, we thought we’d show you just a very small sample of the 2011 show. This year is the 80th anniversary of the 32 Ford and a special display and area will be set up celebrating this storied car / model. Add in the pre-show activities at many pro builders shops and this one is one not to be missed.

Meet Elmer Jones of Clarksville TN.
He is the
winner!!! Elmer and his 1949 Mercury logged 9423.2
miles of fun and smiles this year, during the contest
period!!
Elmer loves driving his Merc so much, that he and his wife
took it on vacation to Washington State this year.
To say that Elmer likes to cruise, is an understatement!!
When I tried to set up a time to meet him and present the
award to him, he was out of town at the Emerald Coast
Cruze in in Panama City beach FL!!!
words & pics by Jimmy B
Elmer built his Merc to be a road
cruiser from the start. He took the
car down to the bare metal and
went from there. After he finished
all the metal work and modifications
to the body, he had Ronnie Jones
Body Shop in Carlisle TN shoot the
Hot Rod Black all over. Jeremy
―Darren the Killer‖ broom added
some traditional style stripping
outside and inside to give it that
perfect look.
Elmer slide a 5.3 Chevy LS motor
and 4L60E trans combo from a
2020 Silverado between the frame
rails.
After Elmer did some measuring,
he put a Ford Explorer rear end
under the Merc. The Explorer rear
end is only a ¼‖ different from the
stock rear end. Up front he installed
a Nova front sub frame to get the
Merc to sit just right. He added 4
wheel disc brakes and covered
them up with 15 x7 & 15 x 8 Wire
Wheels with Firestone skins on
them.
EJ then turned his attention to the inside of
the Merc, to make sure it was comfortable &
cool for all those miles he was ready to drive
it. He called on Tony Tucker to put in the
black & white vinyl and carpet in. Elmer
added a ―period correct‖ Vintage Air A/C unit
from A-Plus Hot Rod Supply under the dash
to lower the Tennessee heat & Humidity to a
comfortable level while cruising. Add in some
Rat Fink floor mats, a Rat Fink shift knob on
the Lokar Shifter and a 50’s style shrunken
skull on the mirror and it’s almost 1959 all
over again.
This is what it’s all about Gearheads!! Take
your favorite vehicle, build it and finish it like
you want it. Then you hop in and go cruising
with it…anywhere you want to go.
If you’d like to see more of Elmer’s Merc, he
invites everyone to come to Clarksville TN,
and take part in the Memory Lane Car Club
cruise nite every Friday nite during the
summer.
If you don’t catch Elmer there, watch for him
on the road…..I know you’ll see him there.

HOT RODDING IN THE MID-SOUTH High School, NASCAR in Memphis Area & Submarine Races….
Words & Picture’s by Ed Woodard
Editors Note: Here is another chapter in the hot rod history of the Mid-South as told by our very own historians and all around great guy…Ed Woodard. Ed is on the move this month and the hot rod foundation is starting to be built for Ed. Now lets head back west to Memphis with Ed…..
…..Leaving your high school after 2 years of
looking forward to being a senior was really
tough but my parents took their possible
rebellious kid out of the picture & moved while
I was in Gulfport MS, with the Tennessee Air
National Guard. One call did it all, ―Eddie we
have moved to Nashville‖. That was it! New
town, new school, new friends & lots of old
hometown Memphis memories Sort of
amazing too, as one of my fellow guardsmen
ended up being my employer, Joe Lunati.
Must not forget that chopped ’34 Ford had its
times in the family like the time I needed to
get the car inspected. I tried to take it through
but they turned it down. It seems as the lights
were to low being mounted on the frame
horns. When I got home my mom ask if
everything went alright. Of course I said it
didn’t pass so without hesitation she said
come on & picked up her coat & we were
gone. About a block from the inspection
station she just stopped & said get out she
would be back in a few minutes. What was
she up to??? Well in about 20 minutes or so
she came whizzing around the corner with the
sticker affixed to the windshield. I ask her
how??? She said she use to date the
supervisor when she was swimming! …Did I
tell you that my mom and my aunt Dot had
both been Mississippi River 5 mile marathon
swimmers as well as a 15 mile swimmers in
the Gulf of Mexico. & my mom even had a
pilot’s license to fly and was a Senior Life
Saving Instructor. She was something else!
Still have those silver trophies she won…what
memories !!!
Many tales can be told about that ’34 Ford.
After working at Rainbow skating rink &
swimming pool I saved up to by a 1951 MG
HOW DID HOTRODDING START FOR ME & MY GENERATION….
Seems like the more I think about those high school years just adds to more memories…
TD about the time we moved to Nashville. My
mom & I also pooled our funds & bought a
new 1954 Buick Convertible, which I wished I
had back.
The picture of the ’51 MG is with my girlfriend
Barbara behind the wheel at Memphis
Riverside Park waiting for the submarine
races to start(Old Memphis Past time)..
15 December 2011
HOT RODDING IN THE MID-SOUTH cont. I have some video of one of the big
NASCAR races on that track, You should
hear Hooker tell about his experiences
running that track. The big time street rodder
who lives just about next door to the
remnants of the track is Vernon Walker who
is the headman at NSRA. If you look closely
on the satellite you can see the restored
1960’s Texaco service station in his back
yard. Few know Vernon is a master restorer
of neon auto & tractor signs as well as the
owner of Walker radiators. A few years ago I
was fortunate to be invited to a Memphis
Street Rod Assn meeting at Vernon’s. That
Texaco station is fully operational just as it
was in the early 60’s. After that, I have said
why collect anything as Vernon has it all,
what a night to remember!!!
I am about to submit this to the Gearhead
Gazette but I must insert a little thought that
came to mind as I drove down to Memphis
on Thursday 11/17/2011 for the Annual
It is worth mentioning that in 1955 before,
our move to Nashville, I came down with a
case of infectious mononucleosis, which
they thought was leukemia for a week or so.
That is until Dr Kraus pointed out that if my
blood count was as bad as was it showed I
would not be alive. I was the first recorded
case of ―Mono‖(The kissing disease) in
Tennessee & I had been doing a little of that
in the 1954 Buick Convertible….Bobby
Applebaum & Hooker Hood were the first to
come check on me while I was laid up, that
helped with recovery.……
You remember last month when I was telling
you about that NASCAR Super Speedway in
the Memphis area. Yep, it’s true & long
before Daytona or Atlanta. It was about 1953
when they built it at Lehi AR, which is some
10 miles or so west of West Memphis AR.
The track can easily be seen by satellite
today with the ½ mile straights and ¼ mile
turns.
Hotrod Reunion
dinner honoring Joe
Lunati. As I crossed
the Tennessee River
I thought how nice it
was that I didn’t have
to present my
passport as I entered
West Tennessee. It
has always seemed
as a distant country
when it came to
participating in
events down there.
We have a lot of auto
activities in Middle
Tennessee as does
West Tennessee. We
need to remind each
other of all these
events, even better
participate in them,
after all we are not
separate
countries…are
we???

December 2011
Every year for the past 14 years, in the beginning of July, in central Ohio, a few thousand friends get together for a little (BIG BIG) show called the GOODGUY PPG Nationals. The 2011 edition is in the books and based on all the talk and feedback, another outstanding event took place. Its hard to showcase, let alone see over 6000 “too cool” rides. Here’s a few from that little show in central Ohio. Make your plans now to attend the 15th edition of this great show in 2012.

The “Snake” is coming together!! As we reported earlier this year, Mark & Rhonda Delk are putting together a Shelby Cobra. A lot of work is done already as its in the paint shop now getting ready for some color and stripes on it. This one is going to “get with the program” with some serious motor action and all the other goodies to make it handle and run like a Cobra should. Stay tuned as we continue to follow this one come together.
IT’S TREE-RIFFIC!!!!! “WOOD IS GOOD”!!!
Congrats go out to Marty Crain. His “used-2-b” “leaky-tiki” is right and tight and looking good. Looking so good that the WOODIE TIMES magazine put his “termite delight” on the front cover of this month issue. Marty has logged some serious miles and smiles in 2011 in this cool ride of his.

The 2011 version of the BIGGEST car show
is in the record books now. Just about 11000
cool cars, trucks and more came out and had
a blast in LOO-VILLE Ky this year.
This is the 2nd year of the 30yr cutoff and it
seems to be working just fine. The mix of pre
and post 48 hot rods & cars is addition to this
event.
Add in what seems like every vendor you
could imagine and you could have literally
built a new car during the weekend. Over in
this corner was the swap meet, the other
corner had the PRO’s PICK area (tough
judging for sure). Inside was the Builders
Showcase with cars you usually only see in
magazines.
The 4 days pass by fast and before you know
it, you’re hitting the road for home. While you
are driving to the house though you are
planning for next year, so you can see the
things you missed this year.
Check www.nsra-usa.com for all the details
on the 2012 edition of the BIGGEST Show for
all hot rodders. We’ll see you there….

FOR SALE: This is being passed on from David Ferguson of the HENDERSONVILLE CRUISE IN who got it from
Tom Tucker of Hendersonville. Tom knows a guy who has a 1965 Corvette Convertible 4-speed that is a driver,
upgrade-as-you-go or restoration project which is located in Danvers, Mass. He bought it from a man that had it in his
garage since 1980. It has a 327/300HP, all numbers matching car, right down to the original carburetor, which he just
replaced to get it running (he kept all the parts that he replaced). Car runs great and he just put new calipers all around.
His idea is to sell it as a running, driving project car. He wants to get $25,000 for the car if he can. If you know of
anybody interested who attends the cruise-in, this might be a deal to get an original numbers matching Sting Ray. He
has not advertised it yet as he is still cleaning it up. It has had just a little body work done to it through the years but it
presents really well if somebody wants to drive it as is. To communicate with the owner (Tom Manetta), it is best to use
email. Mr. Manetta’s email is: [email protected] (10/11)

Finish Line….
December 2011
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...Holy Crap... what a ride!!!"
POPPIN’ the Chute!!!! It’s the end of the year, kind of like the end of the race.
More to come, but for now it’s done. What better to close out this issue then to showcase
some classic drag racing and shots of “hangin’ out da laundry” or “poppin’ the chute.” Get your chute re-packed for 2012, cause its going be action packed!!

There have been countless studies done to prove it, but virtually
everyone knows that spending quality time with a kid is the
greatest gift you can give them. And sharing your appreciation for
collector cars is a great way to nurture their interest in a hobby
that you can enjoy together for many years to come.
