Last call for anyone interested in attending the Christmas function; the Club needs to know
what people want to do who are not able to attend meetings. The date will be Saturday
24th November in the evening now with the Sit Down Comedy Club at the Calamvale Hotel –
cost is around $25 for the show but we have to work out the details. We need people who
are interested to register with Doreen Ord as soon as possible please so we can finalise
details at the October meeting.
The President’s Report October 2012
Well the 2012 Chev Festival has come and gone and we can all relax until the next one
rolls around – in Goulburn from 20th – 23rd September 2013. There are a few people who
won’t be putting their hands up to organise the next one in Queensland, wherever that may
be as it’s just TOO much work.
More people are needed to help, especially before the event to program everything and
allocate tasks so that volunteers don’t get burnt out, during the event and even after the
festival especially if it’s away from the S.E. corner of Queensland as the logistics required to
properly stage a long distance event are pretty huge.
Overall, the festival was a success with lots of people saying it was very well run (at times it
didn’t seem like that from the inside!), the main glitch being the polo shirts which were
‘orientally downsized’. We’re still working on sorting out the correct sizes and hopefully we
can send them out or have them at the meeting in November for the locals. Trophy winners
are included in this issue of the newsletter along with some photos. More pix will be
available on the club Facebook page.
Harrigans Rod and Custom Show will be held less than two weeks after the October
meeting so final preparation is happening as you read this. This year we have more new
cars on show, more traders, more sponsorship.... and probably more work for the few that
help out on the day – this is a call to willing club members to help man the entries, assist
with setting the cars out, and other little jobs like taking photos can all help lighten the load
for the team.
See you at the meeting or at Harrigans on SUNDAY 14th OCTOBER.
Happy cruising.
Regards,
Elton Walker

QHMC:
Meeting to pay fees, need a representative to go; Theo was volunteered.
QHRP:
Meeting on 12/8/12; running event on 18th November at Rocklea; this is designed to raise funds to
run a Show in May 2012 in Brisbane. Interstate people still keen to support a Queensland show.
Have asked clubs for a loan of $3,000 towards this event; 2 clubs have already agreed; the money
will be a loan with appropriate paperwork. Two big events already booked by them for next year.
Ian willing to propose that the Chev Club give them support to $3,000; Elton seconded the motion;
carried. QHRP having a meeting next Monday and we need a delegate as Ian is a director.
General Business:
Need BBQ volunteers after the AGM [from February 2013] – Ian and Jan have done it long enough.
Chev Festival – BBQ on Friday will not be at the Surf Club as they double booked themselves.
Rum City Rodders have stepped in and will run this event with a steak sandwich and drink.
Registration will be at the CWA hall from 5pm to 7pm on that Friday evening. Wine has been
organized for entrants with a Festival label.
Polo shirts are almost complete; will be ready by Wednesday. Have 145 people booked for the
dinner; only 89 entries to this date but 12 have 2 cars; WA cars had a major breakdown on the way
over.
Have orders for 118 shirts but have ordered 200 so we have extra to sell.
One entry for Princess so far with 5 ladies doing handicraft.
Plaques – they have done 140 and we only wanted 130 so we need to pay the difference.
Doreen has done an identity card for the car owner on a lanyard as well as wristbands for all.
Don’t use Goodwood Road from Childers to Bargara as there are major road works.
Tin signs - cost $18 to produce, very good quality, we could sell them for at least $25; Elton to order
at least 50. Can do a similar one for Harrigans as well.
Gasoline Magazine has donated two 12 month subscriptions to give away. Trophies are all ready.
Harrigans: have organized a limited 5th anniversary polo shirt; could be a grey or a light brown in
colour; cost is $35.
Australian Street Machine Federation are having a sticker promotion campaign to put on your street
machine, not your daily driver.
Classic Driving – offering $500 per person back to the Club if the Club promotes its tours to the USA
– trips are quite expensive.
Christmas Party: 24th November dinner from 7pm; need to book more than needed then adjust
down; $65 per person but Club is subsidizing $25 so cost is $40 per person.
Club Runs:
Redneck Scroungers was a bit of a flop; a bit disorganized.
We have the Lakeside run in November as well as QHRP event.
Raffle Winners:
Meeting closed at 9.15pm. Next meeting on 2nd October 2012.

suits any application, including later models.

AUTHENTIC
REPRO
NEW!!
NEW!!
NEW!!
With this amazing
new range you
can have the real thing plus so much more. These radios
have the look and feel of the original radio, but with the
performance you expect from today’s technology. Shown
above is a 1967-68 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird
radio. From the dash every piece you see has been
designed to match the original. Meticulous attention has
been paid to detail. For example, the thread and diameter of
each shaft bushing is the same as was used originally. The
dial fonts are exact duplicates. The dash bezels are die
cast. The Wonderbar radios seek up the dial until they reach
the top, then return rapidly to the bottom and start over just
like the originals did. The tuning knob and pushbuttons
make the dial pointer move the way they’re supposed to. No
digital displays. Behind the dash it’s a different story.
Powerful electronics are built into a chassis that is only 21/2 “ deep, making some of these radios only 10% of their
original size! Does size matter? There is room for electric
wipers and/or air conditioning! All radios have RCA inputs
for Ipod, MP3 or XM options. Radios with push-buttons have
10 presets (5 AM and 5 FM) When an OEM AM/FM radio
wasn’t offered, the dial background is subtly printed with the
FM dial scale. Inside the case is our proven digital tuner
system with a 180 watt RMS power amplifier! Two powerful
microprocessors monitor the “human interface” (knobs &
pushbuttons) and, through the magic of software, make the
radio dial imitate the original while pumping out a sound that
is cleaner and much more powerful than the best radio that
was available when your car or truck was new! These radios
are available for all 1947-59 Chevrolet and GMC Trucks,
1951-52 1955 56 57 58 1961-62 Chevy Car, (1957 & 1958
Chevy are `Wonderbar`), all 1958-66 Corvette radios, 1966
GTO, 1969-70 Chev Impala, 1966-72 Chevelle, 1967-76
Camaro, 1969-76 Nova. 1949-52 Ford Cars, 1951-52
Ford Pickup, 1954 Ford Car, 1955 T/bird, 1966 Pontiac
Tempest/Lemans/GTO, 1969-72 GTO, 1967-77 Firebird,
1970-74 Mopar `E` body Barracuda & Challenger, 1971-74
Mopar `B` body Coronet Charger Belvedere Satellite.
Tooling is being made up for many more hard-to-find radios,
call for more information. Ask about applications for cars
and trucks with 6 volt systems. European channel spacing
optional on all models. Each radio comes with a detailed
instruction booklet, and Aussie warranty. Designed and
manufactured in the USA.
SPEAKERS
Another clever product
is the DVC speaker
(right) which replaces
your single front factory
speaker. This is a `2
speakers in 1` system
and comes with any
necessary brackets. The wiring from 2 channels of your
new radio connects direct to it. It sounds good, and will
handle 140Watts. Replacement kick panels with functional
vents, complete with speakers are available, as well as slim
line `undercover` and `back seat` speakers.
GETTING STARTED
Call Phil at MY409, he will
guide you through the selection of radios and speakers for
your application, or follow the `links` on the web site. If no
radio is listed for your vehicle, a custom made radio is also
possible. When all else fails, it may be possible to convert
your existing radio to AM/FM 4 channel with aux input etc.
MY409 is a sole trader business. When you call, you will always talk to the boss – a radio tech by trade.`` I got into
these radios via my hobby, restoring Chevs. I found it annoying having to modify the vehicle to get new parts to fit. I
was so impressed by the quality of fit and performance of these radios that I am now a dealer for USA based
suppliers``.
