EDITOR: JIM BRANDAU
M A Y 2010
ISSUE No. 5
PUBLISHED: WHENEVER I CAN IT DO BUT MONTHLY MOST OF THE TIME…
ROAD RUMBLINGS…
in the current issue of TRADITIONAL ROD & KUSTOM
ILLUSTRATED magazine, in the feature on the GOOD GUYS
Nostalgia Nationals last October. Looking good Billy. What you saw
you didn’t see it….check out the GARAGE & SHOP Scene section.
First I have to do an apology for some mis-information which was
brought to my attention (thanks Bob). NSRA Appreciation Day for
Middle TN, which will be held this month, is going to be held at T & M
Steering in Nashville. I did the fat finger thing and listed it as T & N.
Sorry. Make sure you get out and support this event. It’s a very
special way to say thanks to a die-hard, hard core Hot Rodder, Terry
Manlove. We have the event listed so check it out and stop in.
If you are out an about in Middle TN on a sunny day, you are probably
going to see one cool Hot Rod cruising around. That Bright Red 39
Ford belongs to Bill Johnson of Columbia Tn. Nice to see folks taking
their cars out and having fun with them driving around. LOOKIN’
GOOD Bill!!
I have been locked up in the ol’ editors office here at world HQ for
the GEARHEAD GAZZETTE, putting the finishing touches on the
May issue for you. Let’s get to it eh??
This is another action packed issue for you. If you cant find
something to do or go to with your ride, then you aint reading the
GAZZETTE !!!
May brings a change for the GOODGUYS event in Nashville. I am
betting it’s a change for the better too. While it will be warm, it
shouldn’t be another SWEAT A POOLAZA!! like last year. The
Nashville Nationals will take place May 21- 23 at LP field. There will
be a poker run on Thursday. We have been told that it appears part
of the poker run will be going to Lebanon Tn as that looks to be the
lunch stop at THE MILL. As we get more details on this we’ll send out
a special e-mail.
Lot of new CRUISE IN events listed this month. And speaking of
Cruise In’s, make sure to check out the Bellevue Cruisers monthly
Cruise In on May 1st. Maximum DYNO is coming out with their Dyno to
give everyone a chance to see what their ride is really made of. This
is where the BS ends and the Horsepower numbers really begin!! I’ll
just bet we’ll need at least one flat bed to haul someone home that
gets over zealous!!
The MHRC in Murfreesboro kicks off their Every Friday Cruise on
May 7th. This one is always a favorite to attend. See the info in the
Cruise section on how to get there.
The Monthly cruise in Somerset KY for May is MOPAR MANIA. You
just know that Stan “Hotshoe” Hardcastle and the Music City Mopar
Club are gonna have some folks headed up for that one.
Gonna give a shout out to our good buddy Billy Webb over on the
Indiana/Ohio border. His too cool “Gasser Style” 56 Chevy was seen
Talking about driving, which in this editors opinion is what this is all
about…taking you car, truck, Hot Rod, custom or whatever you have in
your garage and having fun driving it. The Classic’s for a Cause in Mt
Pleasant TN are hosting a good old driving event on May 22nd. If you
enjoy taking your ride on a cruise longer than 5 miles, check this out
and have some fun. Way to go gang. Let us know how it turns out!!
Make sure and check out the GARAGE & SHOP Scene section. Some
cool cars and stories there. We also have a picture of the GIVE
AWAY CAR for the Ardmore Al. Car show coming up in August.
Make sure you check out www.wolfmotorsportsmagazine.com for the
latest issue. Editor Jeff has got some good stories & cool pics for
you to check out.
Speaking of magazines, there is a new one here in Middle TN. Grease
Monkey magazine is making its debut this month. You can check it out
on line at www.greasemonkymagazine.com or get a FREE copy of the
magazine at HOT RODS & THREADS FULL SERVICE HOT ROD
SHOP in College Grove TN. The 1st issue is going to go fast so don’t
wait to stop by and pick one up today.
“Hang on, cause we got it FLOORED and we're doing
it again in 2010”
Till next month…..
Jimmy B.

SATURDAY MORNING CRUISE IN’s:
To all classic car fans……
I have been repeatedly asked when are we going to start up the Franklin area Cars & Coffee for 2010? My suggestion is to
nd
th
come out for coffee twice a month, the 2 Saturday & 4 Saturday of each month starting in March. That way if you can’t make it one
Saturday you don’t have to wait an entire month before there is another one. To that end I have formulated the following calendar for
2010.
I thought it would be advisable to get the schedule out so people could mark their calendars and make plans to attend.
Please forward the schedule to other Classic Car Fans that are not on the list.

covering the ground, the folks in Bowling Green are covering
the air with various aircraft on static display. One of these
planes, a 1950's F9F Panther, will be making its debut at the
Power Tour. Other lofty ventures include a hot air balloon on
site for possible photo opportunities. Participate in games
and activities throughout the day. Check out some rather
noteworthy cars scheduled to cruise in and chat with some of
the local car crazies. Tuesday night, cruise downtown by a
newly restored 1921 Standard Oil Station. Visit to the
National Corvette Museum, so they are extending their hours
just for Power Tour participants. The Convention & Visitors
Bureau is there to help plan your perfect adventure at or by

“GARAGE & SHOP SCENE”
SEND THE PICTURES AND INFO ON YOUR RIDE OR YOUR FRIENDS RIDE AND WE’LL SHOW IT OFF RIGHT HERE!!
> The guys at HOT RODS & THREADS have updated the website with some new
pics and info and invite you to check them out at www.hotrodthreads.com
> Jeff Wolf, who now lives in Texas, sent along these shots of his project. Looks
like “BARNEY” has gotten some altitude adjustment. Looking good Jeff!!
> The upcoming Ardmore Al. car show in August is giving away a car this year to
some lucky person. We’ll have the show info listed next month but here’s a look at
what you could drive home if you are there!!
> Our good buddy Gary Falls sent along some pics and details of what is going on
at the “BAKER GARAGE” also known as “GARAGE MAJHAL”. Located in Franklin Tn,
Brian & Gary have some cool stuff going on. If you look very closely, you might be
able to spot the ever elusive and hard to catch Brian Baker hisself. Also known to
many of us as the “Milk Carton Kid”. Enjoy the info and Gary spics.
Here is a little bit of what’s going on in the Baker garage. Brian has bought a 68 Ford long bed pickup (he says it’s
for Amy) It is a pretty cool old truck. It lived its life as a farm truck, and when we went to pick it up and drive it
home it was so covered in algae from sitting under the trees, it was impossible to see out the windows. Cleaning a
spot in the windshield to look thru, we hit the road (I drove the chase vehicle) Here are a few cool things the truck
has. It has a “Tommy Lift” gate on the back, and it works. It has a 40 gallon gas tank in the bed. The gauge
doesn’t work so you check it with a yard stick. 2” equals 2 gallons. Yep, we have ran out of gas, thought I would
answer it before you ask. It has a great running V8 engine (I’m a Chevy guy, all those blue engines look the same to
me) and three speed on the floor. He has started work on another cab for it and has a front spindle setup to put on
disc brakes. If it is anything like his Torino you know it will look good. I have taken apart my S10 again. The 8.8
rear end I narrowed and put in it last year is too wide with my 12” wide meats I put on the back. I got another 8.8
rear end housing, narrowed it two more inches and sent my Moser axles off to be shortened. I filleted the rear half
of the frame to sit it up for a four link. The setup has been ordered and should be here this week. That’s about it
for now. Anyone out cruising around on the weekends stop by, we’ll be “Makin Sparks” and there is always Barley
Coke available in the fridge. Drop me an email at [email protected] for directions or a phone number.
