SOUTHEASTERN GTO ASSOCIATION
June 2010
Actually, newsletter editor’s note this
month. Due to unforeseen circumstances
Jim Norman has needed to step down as
President of SEGTOA. Therefore Denny
Sanford, as current club Vice President,
has agreed to be acting President for the
rest of this year. We would like to thank
both Jim and Denny for their many years
of loyal service to the club. Our next
meeting is the annual summer picnic
which has always been well attended. We
hope to see y’all there and wish to thank
everyone who has contributed to the
newsletter these past years.

A SEGTOA Member Victorious at a Show
Ed Bellair drove 1,000 miles to upstate New York last week and was able to attend the "21st
Annual Rolling Antiques Muscle Car and Street Rod Show" sponsored by the Norwich Region
AACA in Norwich, NY on Saturday, May 29. His 1968 GTO was First in Class in the "Muscle
Car Convertible, 1960-1974 Years." 25 cars were entered in this class. Over 600 cars were in
attendance at the show on Saturday. Ed did not stay for the Sunday portion of the show which
featured the true antique cars. Congratulations to Ed!

Here is a site I (Smitty) found & use to cover wires and hoses on the car. It's cheaper that
Summit & Jegs and the only place I found that has the mylar cover for wire. It's all easy to
use.

Collector Car Companion Software
By John McKeon
I'm running a special for car club members on Collector Car Companion - car restoration software
that helps antique, classic, custom and muscle car owners organize and document their projects,
parts, photos and work. Check it out at http://www.collectorcarcompanion.com/club_special.php.
Hemmings recently gave us an excellent review. Reprint courtesy of Hemmings Muscle Machines, a publication of Hemmings Motor News.
Restoration Project Software
Collector Car Companion • www.collectorcarcompanion.com • $49.95
Every month in "Restoration Profile," we make the same point--you have to document your teardown. Taking a part off? Take a picture first, then label that sucker. We all know how necessary
this is to make reassembly easy--but we also all know it's a pain in the butt to record every last nut
and bolt coming off your car. So we get lazy and slip up, only to regret it when it's time to put the
transmission back together and realize that a critical bit has gone missing.
Now, though, there's no excuse not to fully document your restoration. Collector Car Companion
software for PC makes it almost absurdly easy to keep track of your project--just enter the part
into the program and go from there. Collector Car Companion will generate a unique part number,
enabling you to track your parts easily; you can snap a picture, load it into the program, and make
notes on restoration tasks that need to be performed, such as media-blasting or re-chroming. Using
a powerful, flexible menu format, the software lets you organize parts by type or category, note
where you've stored things, and even print labels to attach to your components.
The software breaks any restoration project down into its three main stages--Strip Down, Restoration, Assembly--and lets you make lists of tasks for each part of the operation. You can easily add
and tag photos, make notes on your progress and even print packing lists for sending parts out for
restoration.
Collector Car Companion offers a free trial version and a sample project, so you can get the hang
of using the software before loading up your current project. It's incredibly intuitive and userfriendly, but if you have any trouble, there's a great set of FAQs online, along with friendly and
knowledgeable support staff ready to answer any questions you have along the way.
It's time to stop cursing and swearing that you'll document the next teardown (really, honestly, I
mean it this time) and start organizing your restoration like a pro. When it comes time to put
things back together, you won't regret it.

May Meeting
Story By David Peebles, Pictures By David Peebles and Lee Lamb
If you didn't make it to the May meeting you missed a good one. It was held at Bramble Motorcare in Ballground GA and approximately 15 members attended. Frank Bramble is the owner
and a GTO club member. Russell Delameter, a certified mechanic, GTO club member and car
builder held a tech session on carburetors & distributors. Russell provided a detailed and informative session in a very professional manner. After the tech session everyone was invited to
Frank & Barbara Bramble's residence for a cookout & to view their collection of classic cars and
memorabilia. Anyone would be proud to have a garage with the accoutrements found in this garage. The attached photos do not adequately depict the size and "wow factor" of this "home garage". Frank and Barbara were wonderful hosts and went out of their way to ensure everyone
enjoyed themselves.
I can also personally recommend and attest to the quality of work performed at Bramble Motorcare.
