PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEBY JIM DRUMMOND

Vol. 50 Issue #10 October 2009 — Sidemount Reporter 1

NEXT GENERAL MEETING • Thursday, Oct. 08 @ 7:30 p.m • Headingley Community Centre at 5353 Portage Ave.

Well, Well, Well, October and time forour cars to start their winterhibernation. It seems that the

MCAAC has had an incredible number of carevents starting with the Swap Meet in May. Wehave had a lot of requests from SeniorsResidences to display our cars. I want topublically thank everyone who brought a carto one or more of these events.

It started on the way to the Corn Roast. Diane,Lindsay, Emerson and I started headed for

Anola. I decided to stop for gasoline to ensure we had enough to getthere and home again. Once fueled we just pulled onto Grant whenthe engine died, blocking two lanes of traffic. Not good. I used thestarter motor with the car in first gear, using the clutch to move into theleft lane only. Not good either. As hard as I tried the engine would notstart. Then it went and allowed me to proceed approximately eightfeet and died again. A little luck and in a few minutes it restarted, andwe proceeded to Anola with no further trouble. I incorrectly chalkedthis incident up to vapor- lock. As it turned out this was not a veryaccurate diagnosis.

Best part of the day was enjoying corn as it should be, eaten ordrunk if you like corn liquor, and not burned in an engine with gasoline.Good friends, good food, and good times, with sixty people attendedthe 31st MCAAC Corn Roast hosted by Jack and Yvonne Mavins .Thanks Jack and Yvonne for a great day. I hope your front lawnrecovers.

When it was time to leave the Cadillac started and ran for less thana minute and died and would not restart. In the short time the engineran, it was unable to pull itself out of the creators created by the tires inthe soft soil. Fortunately Bob and Myrna Niblock, Wayne and SharonWilson, Diane, Lindsay and I were able to push the beast onto thedriveway. A few taps on the electric fuel pump and it started. Colinhad us pull up to the shop where it was discovered that fuel wasspraying out the top of the cars original mechanical fuel pump. Yes ithas two fuel pumps. The cars original mechanical fuel pump with anadded electric pump. Colin tightened the hex bolt on the top of themechanical pump, and the leak stopped. We drove home. When wegot close I decided to stop and check for wet fuel around the engine.I did not want to put the car away with raw gasoline on a hot engine.Everything was dry. So the Cadillac was spanked and put to bed forthe night. The little Porsche took me to the Pony Coral.

It finished with the replacement of the fuel delivery system from thegas tank to the engine, new lines, new fuel filter added, and a newNOS 6 volt fuel pump. The later was the toughest part to find.

Fortunately one of the club members had a NOS “Walbro” 6 volt pumpwhich looked similar to the 6 volt AC Delco that came out. Upon closeexamination I discovered that both pumps have the same patentnumber. And although both pumps are discontinued, Walbro still hasa repair bellows kit which should fit either pump. I am still trying toconfirm this assumption with “Auto Performance Engineering”. Fornineteen years I took the attitude that if the car started and ran finelast week why not this week? The best part of this story is not the factthe car made it home. It is the car club members and my friend Lyleimmediately jumped in to help when we got in trouble. Thank s to youall.

We decided to take the Cadillac on Paul and Wolfs fall foliage tour.Since I had drained the fuel out to replace the gas line, we stopped forgas. We almost made it to Arlington and Mountain when the Cadillac‘s engine quit. Oh boy. We were sitting in the middle of Arlington whenstrangers started to stop and ask if we needed help. One person whointroduced himself as Mike turned around, parked his truck and beganto flag down other motorist to help push the beast. No luck. Otherssoon came to see if they could help. The car would not start. CAA wassummoned and we were advised that it would be at least an hour toget a flat deck hauler to our location. Apparently the flat deck operatordid not start work until 2:47 PM. How dumb is that? So we waited,turning on the ignition every few minutes to see if the fuel pump wouldstart to operate. Suddenly after 45 minutes it started to pump and theengine started.

A quick one maneuver U turn (try that in a 37 Cadillac on Arlington)and we headed home. We made it all the way to Academy and Oakwhen to quit once again. There we sat under the photo radar at thestop light for over 30 minutes. There was an incredible amount oftraffic on Academy the entire time we waited. Not ONE, that is nobodyasked if we needed help. The moral of this saga is never break downin River Heights where the folks appear to be caught up in their own lala land to offer to help someone in trouble. Finally got the thing home,spanked and put away. Diane and I went to the Selkirk Golf Clubmodern with AC.

What else. Recently a club member asked me if I have touch- uppaint for the Cadillac. The short answer is no. The long answer is I amnot sure of the type of paint used on the car or the exact colour. But Idid find a paint touch- up video on the net that recommends insteadof using the brush supplied with the touch up paint, use a hypodermicneedle and carefully inject just enough paint to fill the chip or scratch.In doing so you should not have touch- up paint on top of the goodpaint around the chip or scratch. When buffed and polished the repairis almost invisible. Once I find the exact paint match for the Cadillac Iintend to give this method a try.

Drive safe.

EDITORIALBY BRYNE MCKAY

Last month I told you Softy’s SpeedShop had closed. Don Robertsonand Jim Drummond have noticedsignage around Walker Auto Partsat 1552 King Edward St. implying

they have some connection to Softy’s Speed Shop. I put myinvestigative skills to work and called Walker Auto Parts. Theytold me Softy’s was renting space from them and gave metheir phone number. I called (783-7223) and talked to BrianBuchan Jr. who told me he and his brother bought out theirdad and have moved to this location. They aren’t completelyset up but are open for business. He indicated it will not be apermanent location. So now we know.

Ever attempted welding pot metal? You know the problems.Put a torch to pot metal and it’s gone before the filler rod melts.

Derek Thille sent in a link with videos on repairing pot metalwith a Super Alloy 1 repair rod. It bonds at half the meltingpoint of the pot metal, and the honey flux turns root beer brownto indicate when the base metal has reached the propertemperature. Plus…. it can be plated when the repair iscompleted. Check it out by googling ‘Super Alloy 1’ or go towww.muggyweld.com/potmetal.html.

I am going to give you something to ponder…….youprobably think this is the year 2009. In the automobile industryI am afraid it is 1970. I am sure you are aware that 1970 wasthe pentacle of the Muscle Car …. super-duper displacementwith super-duper horsepower. Then we suffered through highgas prices, high insurance rates, new emission controls, newsafety regulations (ie more weight) and low compressionengines resulting in Corvettes with 165 horsepower (1975) ..…yuck!

CLUB EVENTBY DENIS ROBERT

EDITORIALBY BRYNE MCKAYCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 car then and they will certainly be the main instigator this timearound. In the 70s they were dictating what levels of emissions,safety and fuel mileage the car companies had to attain. It isthe same this time around except worse. Due to the governmentloans to some of the car companies the government will actuallyhave direct say in their operations. Now isn’t that a scarythought, the government telling car companies how to run theirbusinesses.

President Obama has announced strict curbs on new car

emissions and is calling for 39 MPG from cars and 30 MPGfrom light trucks by 2016. Remember that is a USA gallon.Canada’s Environment Minister, Jim Prentice said that Canadawill work with the USA toward a single standard for NorthAmerica. Canadian equivalent is 47 MPG (cars) and 36 (Trucks).To meet these regulations and to appear as ‘Good CorporateCitizens’ the car companies will back off on development ofperformance cars and even stop building the ones they havenow. The 70s is all the proof you need.

I just hope it doesn’t take 35 years to get back to where weare now! What do you think? Share your ideas with ourmembership and email/write the Side Mount Reporter.

THE MCAAC 50TH ANNIVERSARY

KEYSTONE CIRCLE TOUR

SHORT NAME: KEYSTONE CIRCLE TOUR

You’ve been waiting for it and now you have it. This is asummary of what we, Dean Weiten and I, are prepared at thistime to offer to tourers lucky enough to participate in the biggestevent of the MCAAC 50th Anniversary celebrations.

Most of the information presented here is already written instone. Some of the activities aren’t yet but will be when theofficial brochure comes out later this month.

This momentous event will be held in two parts. In the firstpart, August 4th to August6th, the MCAAC will behosting the Coasters,300+ people in 150vehicles, who will becrossing Canada coastto coast. Plannedactivities include aluncheon in Beausejour,a tour of Lower FortGarry and the StAndrews locks, a rideon the Prairie DogCentral, a cruise on theRiverboat Queen, andvisits to variousFolklorama pavilions.All MCAAC members areinvited and encouragedto participate in these activities. Discounted fees are presentlybeing negotiated for members and Coasters. If space is anissue at any of the activities, Coasters will be given priority.The PDC and RQ events tickets will be by advanced sale only.

The Keystone Circle Tour itself (second part) starts August7th with a run to Heaman’s Autorama in Carman and a lunch.It is planned that those who are registered tourers and Coasterswill get lunch at a reduced cost (hopefully zero). MCAACmembers who wish to tag along for this activity may do so butwill be required to pay the full cost of the lunch or look aftertheir own. Tickets for lunch will be sold in advance only. Again,members are encouraged to participate in this activity whichwill be their only chance to see all of the Coasters and Tourers’cars all together.

Next it’s off to Cypress River where a barbeque supper and

evening of frivolity with a live band is being organized by thetownspeople. Sunday, August 8th, sees the Tourers sayinggoodbye to the Coasters and then heading to the ManitobaAutomobile Museum at Elkhorn and then to Virden for anevening singsong/campfire activity. Monday’s activities willrevolve around three important collections at Shoal Lake. Aleisurely evening is planned at Clear Lake and the ElkhornResort. For Tuesday, August 10th, the focus is on the UkrainianFolk Arts Centre (Selo Ukraina) followed by a peek at the newDauphin Railway Museum. Wednesday we steam to PortageLa Prairie by way of Neepawa where we stop for a breather atthe Margaret Lawrence Home. Some of us will take in FortLa Reine and overnight in PLP while others have indicated thatthey will head for home. On August 12th, Thursday, thoseremaining, who find that a trip from Dauphin to home is too

long a haul for an old carin one day, will head tothe Manitoba MarineMuseum at Selkirkfollowed by lunch at theHalf Moon in Lockport,farewell and then home,assuming that home is inthe Capitol Region.Book your holidays nowfor this never-to-be-repeated event. Theremay be other circle toursin the Club’s future butthere will never be onelike this one.Registration opensNovember 1st for Clubmembers and December

1st for the public at large. Fifty is the limit so don’t miss yourwindow. Cost to members for the Keystone Circle Tour, August7th to 12th is $100 per family (single people may bring a friendor relation); others will pay substantially more but will beencouraged to become members. This fee will cover expensesincurred in organizing the tour and souvenirs unique to this50th Anniversary event. Your hundred bucks does not covermeals, accommodations or activities, some of which will haveto be prepaid at time of registration.

There will be two groups of Tourers; those with trailers willbe led by Wagon Master Denis Robert and the rest will be inthe paternal care of Dean “The Inn King” Weiten.

So, who’s on board? You’re not going to believe how muchfun you can have.

AROUND THE CLUB...10 HOLLINQUIST SENIORS CAR SHOWSUBMITTED BY PAUL HORCH

Friday, August 7 was a day not unlike most of this summer.Cold, rainy and windy. I figured I’d be the only one there.........Iwas wrong. In spite of our “liquid sunshine” we had anamazing turnout of SEVEN old cars. After I arrived with my1952 Ford truck, Terry Turner showed up in his 1930 Model Atruck.......first time out in the rain after a full restoration. ThenJake Penner got there in his 1931 Model A, followed by JimDrummond in his Porsche. El Hay cruised in with his NashMetropolitan just before Marie and Ken Shaw turned up inMarie’s 1951 Meteor. An amazing sight was George and NancyRogers splashing down the street in the 1940 Pontiac with thenice new Coker radials. Bryan Norrie showed up for moralsupport but without his Plymouth which doesn’t like the rain.

We were treated to a muchappreciated lunch of soup,sandwiches andcookies........perfect for sucha dismal day. Some of theresidents of the buildingwere brave enough to comeoutside and check out thecars which brought backfond memories for many of

them. Otherr e s i d e n t swere able toview thecars frominside thebuilding. Allin all it was a great day and I would like to thank everyone whoparticipated and I hope they get their vehicles cleaned upwithout too much trouble.

Hi John and the Manitoba Classic and Antique Auto Club,

Thanks for coming out to the A&W National Crusin for a CauseDay for MS. The response from your club and customers wasvery beneficial to MS. Reports are that your club had 14 carsin the lot. Because of the Gary Doer resignation, Global wasbusy, so they did not make it to our location to broadcast. The response for the day was much greater than we anticipatedwhich is a good sign for next year. We would enjoy havingyou again next year if the date works out for the club. Whenthe date has been set I will send along a note.

Thanks Again,

CathyKirkfield A&W3095 Portage Ave.

AROUND THE CLUB...39TH ANNUAL CORN ROAST(OUR 31ST)WORDS BY JACK & YVONNE MAVINS

PHOTOS BY BRYNE MCKAY

The Corn Roast was held on Sunday, August 23rd . Following anotherweek of rain, the forecast finally promised two days of sun for theweekend. After another 11/2 inches of rain on Friday and our lawn wasalmost a rice paddy!! How ever the sun actually shone on Sat. & Sun.and once again sunny Anola kept its reputation!! Attendance was 60adults and 1 child and they consumed 19 doz. corn, & 8 doz. wieners.The crowd arrived in 20 antique & 11 modern cars. Our seniors arethinning out with just the Stroppas along with Ed & Joyce Turnershowing up this year. Ed Turner is a spry 95 this year and his son Terrybrought along some birthday cake for all of us to share.

As usual, it is the volunteers that keep making our job easier and

keep things running smoothly. The Wilsons showed up early to helpset up with Sharon & Rita Hayes helping Yvonne in the food layout.The Wilsons also supplied that lovely juicy Watermelon.

Through the efforts of Wayne Hayes, the HALF MOON donated thosewonderful hot dogs (the same kind you get at the Half Moon when wemeet there on Long weekends.)

- Cooks - Doug Bedford and Ed Taylor.When it was time to clean up, Colin put the cars away & everything

else just seemed to melt away with everyone pitching in whensomething needed to be done. The Wilsons & Niblocks stayed to ensureall was cleaned up. It is friends like this that make it all possible!

OUR THANKS TO ALL THE MEMBERS WHO TURNED OUT TOMAKE THIS ANOTHER SUCCESS. IT IS YOUR CONTINUINGATTENDANCE (39 YEARS) THAT HAS MADE THE CORN ROAST THEMOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB ACTIVITY IN THE CLUB’S HISTORY.

(JUNE 20TH & 21ST)PHOTOS BY PAUL HORCH


LOOKING BACKEditor’s comment: The following was taken from the January1995 Side Mount Reporter. In 1995 the MCAAC’s wascelebrating 35 years in the old car hobby and Manitoba’s 125th

Birthday.

HOW IT ALL STARTEDby Jack Mavins

Way back in the halcyon years of 1956, Jack McGuigan foundand purchased his 1917 Model T Ford. On his business visitsto the CBC, Jack met Denis Cloutier. As usually happens to oldcar buffs, the talk turned to Jack’s Model T and old cars ingeneral.

As restoration progressed during 1957-58, Denis and hisgirlfriend Lorna Mailey (now Mrs. Cloutier) were frequent visitorsat the McGuiggan home. Jack had joined the HorselessCarriage Club in 1958 and this club was often discussed withDenis, especially when a new issue of the newsletter arrived.

One day in Jack’s garage, the subject of forming a localclub came up. After some discussion, both Jack and Denisagreed to talk to various acquaintances to see if others werealso interested.

Jack, as a salesman for Auto Supply, knew some of hiscustomers such as Dave Friesen, Ron Cunningham and RalphWelch either had old cars or were at least interested.

By word of mouth, Jack and Denis contacted 20 people whowere interested in attending a meeting. Jack then arranged touse the Free Press boardroom where on February 14, 1960their efforts culminated in the successful beginning of theMCAAC.

The rest is history !!! Welcome to our 35th year!
