By: Jimbo I want to start off this month by saying to everyone who is reading this “rag” just how much I appreciate the comments returned with your subscription renewals and the e-mails you send. Encouragement is a reward in my book and it drives the engine of purpose. I believe most of us have at one time or another encouraged someone to follow their ideas. Hot rodders, bikers, and the people that support the lifestyle are a different breed than the main stream of people passing you on the highway of life. Are we the rebels of our younger days?..... you bet.. are we ‘the way it was” generation? Yep and lets not forget all the guys who took shop in school, because you better learn somethin’…. Me (print shop) But here we are, older, wiser, and filled with the opportunity to encourage the ones who follow in our footsteps. Some of those following may have a different mode of transportation then we did. I remember I changed the looks of my car so it didn’t look the family sedan and that music blasting from my rear speakers with the “reverb” belonged to my generation not that old stuff my mom-n-dad listened too. But they encouraged me to ‘do it’ if I had an idea and was truly interested in doing it. They always offered different points of view in such a way that I had to make the choices. The community of rebellious youth of the 50’s and 60’s are now the backbone of helping hands to those who are following in our footpaths. So I encourage all of us to take the time to show interest in their ideas and lifestyles. If encouragement is a reward from your peers then ‘giving’ must be one of the best feeling a person can have. Almost all the clubs I know have one thing in common. All have a charity they support. Shows and events raise a helping hand to those in need. National organizations help but it is the local groups helping local people the most. All are in need and we, the rebels in life are usually the ones who lead the way. Children, Vet’s, elderly and the victims of unfortunate circumstances are usually the choice we make first. So I encourage you to never miss the opportunity give when you can. Ok, now on to the good stuff... Jimbo, $5.37! That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said to me. I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two dimes and something that used to be a Jolly Rancher. Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to head back out to the truck to grab some change when the kid with the Elmo hairdo said the hardest thing anyone has ever said to me. He said, "It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen discount." I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the sound of change hitting the counter in front of me. "Only $4.68" he said cheerfully.

I stood there stupefied. I am 56, not even 60 yet? A mere child! Senior citizen? I took my burrito and walked out to the truck wondering what was wrong with Elmo. Was he blind? As I sat in the truck, my blood began to boil. Old? Me? I'll show him, I thought. I opened the door and headed back inside. I strode to the counter, and there he was waiting with a smile. Before I could say a word, he held up something and jingled it in front of me, like I could be that easily distracted! What am I now? A toddler? "Dude! Can't get too far without your car keys, eh?" I stared with utter disdain at the keys. I began to rationalize in my mind! "Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly! It could happen to anyone!" I turned and headed back to the truck. I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't turn. What now? I checked my keys and tried another. Still nothing. That's when I noticed the purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. I had no purple beads hanging from my rear view mirror. Then, a few other objects came into focus: The car seat in the back seat. Happy Meal toys spread all over the floorboard. A partially eaten dough nut on the dashboard. Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba, I flew out of the alien vehicle. Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot, relieved to finally be leaving this nightmarish stop in my life. That is when I felt it, deep in the bowels of my stomach: hunger! My stomach growled and churned, and I reached to grab my burrito, only it was nowhere to be found. I swung the truck around, gathered my courage, and strode back into the restaurant one final time. There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish. All I could think was, "What is the world coming to?" All I could say was, "Did I leave my food and drink in here"? At this point I was ready to ask a Boy Scout to help me back to my vehicle, and then go straight home and apply for Social Security benefits. Elmo had no clue. I walked back out to the truck, and suddenly a young lad came up and tugged on my jeans to get my attention. He was holding up a drink and a bag. His mother explained, "I think you left this in my truck by mistake." I took the food and drink from the little boy and sheepishly apologized. She offered these kind words: "It's OK. My grandfather does stuff like this all the time." All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a 40 mph zone.

Yessss, I was racing some punk kid in a Toyota Prius. And no, I told the officer, I'm not too old to be driving this fast. As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down the hall. I handed her a bag of cold food and a $300 speeding ticket. I promptly sat in my rocking chair and covered up my legs with a blankey. The good news was that I had successfully found my way home. The Lawyer says to the wealthy art collector tycoon. “I have some good news and I have some bad news,” The Tycoon replies, “I’ve had an awful day, let’s hear the good news first.” The lawyer says, “Well, your wife invested $5,000 in two pictures this week that she feels are worth a minimum of $2-3 million dollars." The tycoon replies enthusiastically, “Well done, very good news indeed. You’ve made my day. Now what’s the bad news?” The lawyer answers, “The pictures are of you with your secretary. He was a truck driver….forty maybe fifty years worth of on the road. Sometime at home but a lot of the time cruising the highways and byways of America. Truckloads of stuff going to little towns, big cities where ever he was sent. Carried that little dog with him and took his wife whenever they could go together. Life in the cab of a rolling home away from home is not for the average husband and wife but that’s what they loved to do…

John Edwards joined the Coast Cruizers just a few years ago and he just passed away on August 25th. We are sad, Elizabeth is sadder but how can I get you to remember his obituary and maybe say “miss ya’ John but I’ll remember you.” Crui sing H e av e ns Highways……..jimbo Coast Cruizer John Edwards June 9, 1936 August 25, 2015 Age 79

JIDECLARK sent me this and it is a fitting tribute and ending to the above obituary You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the back nine of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first hole and the back nine was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like. But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting gray...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change...Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I

don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit! And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though I’m on the back nine, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's over. A new adventure will begin! Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime. So, if you're not on the back nine yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you’re on the back nine or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!! "Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived. LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS: ~ Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect! ~ Going out is good.. Coming home is better! ~ You forget names.... But it's OK because some people forgot they even knew you!!! ~ The things you used to care to do, you aren't as interested in anymore, but you really do care that you aren't as interested. ~ You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV 'ON' than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep". ~ You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. ~ You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... ??? ~ What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~ Everybody whispers. ~ You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear. ~ But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!! Jimbo, Y’all come! to the 22nd Vettes by the Shore, Corvette Show. October 31st, the MS Gulf Coast Corvette Club will be hosting its 22nd annual all Corvette show at the Edgewater Mall on Beach Blvd in Biloxi. Any closer to the water and we’d need water wings. This show is our annual fund raiser and draws Corvettes from Florida to Texas. Car registration is $40, if you pre-register by October 15 your registration will include a show shirt, dash plaque and goodie bag. Proceeds from this show are used to fund 9 local Gulf Coast charities, including the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program, St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy, Gulf Coast Women’s Shelter, Salvation Army, Dream Program, Jackson Animal Shelter, and Make A Wish Foundation. The Mississippi Gulf Coast Corvette Club was founded in 1982, bringing together automotive enthusiasts with the common interest in Corvettes. Since its founding, the club has participated in auto shows as far away as Texas to the west and the Carolinas to the east. Every Corvette show nationwide is a charity car show event with the primary goal of raising money for charity. Come join us and you too can join in and help raise money for our local charities. Visitors to our show can participate in our silent auction with items to bid on from Corvette posters, and dinners to grand items like two back stage passes to view a filming of the #1 new series on CBS NCIS New Orleans show (rules and restrictions apply) who knows you could meet the cast and crew, weekend getaway to Pigeon Forge Tennessee, and a tuna fishing charter with 2 night stay in Venice LA. The show is free to all who would like to stop by and see the shiniest Corvettes on the Gulf Coast, so come on by and check us out. Our club meetings are the last Thursday of the month at Preston Hood. Meeting time is 6:30, but come early and meet our members. Michael Smith, Club President.

If you have attended a Coast Cruizer event during the last twelve months (since October 2014) here is what we did with the contributions you made. September 5th, at our first Saturday night cruise-in, we gave away Van #3 After last years MEGA Cruise-in a chair lift was donated to us. Now we needed a van. The one that we looked at wasn’t a new van but it was a very good van to start with and the price was right. The Dodge needed a good clean up, some engine work, a few new parts and we would have Van #3 to give to a local family. We would like to thank, Dean’s for installing that lift and our thanks also goes out to AutoZone, KW Cook & ABC Auto Parts for helping us.. but most of all the Coast Cruizers want to thank all of you because without your support we couldn’t have afforded this. Just look how happy these folks are…

The Coast Cruizers will once again use the proceeds from the MEGA Cruise-in October 10th 2015 to go toward Van #4.

Check out the big smile on Evie Boudreaux. Evie is a member of the Stunt Force All-Star Cheerleading group. This photo was taken at their 2nd Annual car show Sept. 19 in Diamondhead, MS. Flyers for this show were handed out at events way in advance of the show date so when the hundred or so vehicles showed up they were ready. The parking lot filled quickly with local support for these young ladies. Registration was fast and simple, the tents were manned with helpful team members and filled with silent auction items, door prizes, great food and lot’s of home made treats. Good music played in the background. And when it was time for the Awards there were plenty passed out. Congratulations to the Stunt Force All-Star Cheerleaders & their staff, you ran a great show. You can tell you are a team and it was a team effort that made this such an enjoyable show. See ya next year……. jimbo

Gizmos Carriage House AKA Poppys Garage Its a long way to Mississippi.

If it’s not yours, don’t take it. If it’s not true, don’t say it. If it’s not right, don’t do it. The final exam - gotta’ love this teacher There were four sophomores taking chemistry and all of them had an 'A' so far. These four friends were so confident that the weekend before finals, they decided to visit some friends and have a big party. They had a great time but, after all the hearty partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Florida State until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then, they decided that after the final they would explain to their professor why they missed it. They said that they visited friends but on the way back they had a flat tire. As a result, they missed the final. The professor agreed they could make up the final the next day. The guys were excited and relieved. They studied that night for the exam. The next day the Professor placed them in separate rooms and gave them a test booklet. They quickly answered the first problem worth 5 points. Cool, they thought! Each one, in a separate room, thought this was going to be easy ... then they turned the page. On the second page was written… For 95 points: Which tire?

This month’s Hot Coffee is little different than normal. I usually write about a restaurant that we have ate at. The other day I decided I wanted a cream cheese Danish pastry. The one thing that I didn’t need, but every once in a while you have to have a weakness. I have been going to Quality Bakery every since I have been on the coast. It isn’t a big place on 25th ave. but makes some great cinnamon rolls, Danishes, donuts, cakes , cookies and French bread. If you want any of the above you have to get there early or the pickings get slim in a hurry. This is one place you can get almond flavored cake with butter cream icing. The French bread is like true French bread, hard crust soft inside and great with just butter. Forty years ago Mrs. Knight ran the bakery . Today her daughter and son keep the goodies coming everyday. They are open only part of the day, so when things run out, that’s it until the next day. I know this for fact, because I know this person. When she was young with her 2 brothers, they would save their money and go down to see Mrs. Knight and get a birthday cake for one of them. That was ok until the fourth time they went to get a cake. Then they had to put the dog’s name on it. Then the next time it was the cat’s name. It didn’t take Mrs. Knight but a second to figure that out, but she let them have their cake anyway. A friendship developed that still goes on today with the daughter. So when you get that sweet tooth go by and check out Quality Bakery. Till we eat again J. R.

Born in New Orleans a product of the early fifties, and as a small kid I was fascinated with the architecture of the city, the buildings and all of the old homes were beautiful. During summer vacations I often rode with my dad in the Ideal Appliance service truck with him, so I got to see a lot of it. Been tinkering with things, toys, TV’s, appliances, bikes, you name it I probably took it apart to see what it was made of. Many times I was successful in putting them back together and actually making some them work, hence the Gizmo. Parents moved to Kenner La. I would say in the early sixties. Our house was in perfect alignment with the East West runway of Moisant field now Louis Armstrong International airport. Got very familiar with noise and Jets, oh those flying machines, they were large shinny tubes that carried people to far away lands. I used to imagine looking out those windows at the earth below, did I mention noisy? But they were nothing that stirred my soul and inner being to the noise I felt one day, and I had to follow that earthquake sound a few blocks up only to discover a dragster. Not just a dragster a Hemi Powered rail belonging to my now (from a distance) new best friend. I would always, when that thing fired up, from wherever I was, head up to the shop to listen in awe of that earth shaking machine, and just watch from a distance, until one day I was invited in. Oh my new best friend was cool, he had short hair and a shop full of cool tools, and did I mention a Hemi Powered Dragster. Now when that thing was running, and you were very close, the noise of the jets was just about non existent. My dad was not, lets just say happy, with me hanging out up there, I guess he had misgivings of me quite possibly taking something apart that he could not afford to pay for. Needless to say I had to promise not to touch anything while hanging out there. Until one day Q Ball Wales, (yes that was my new best friend with the Hemi Powered Dragster), asked if I would like to sit in it and steer while he and his assistant pushed it out the shop. I had now completely forgotten about those jets and far away lands and windows, now it was, man if I could drive this thing down the track oh what a thrill. I had just won a National meet at State Capital Dragway and it wasn't even running, to say the least no one believed me. These early exposures I had were laying a foundation of all things motorized that would follow. Very sad things soon shook my world, in 63 the President was shot in Texas, and in 65 my new best friend would be killed in an accident, nothing would be the same from this young boys point of view. I knew I no longer had a place to hang out, and my new best friend was gone. The fever stayed, I had to fool with all things mechanized, it was too late I had been hooked, grease, oil and racing fuel had soaked me to the core. The road to Mississippi was a long way off. Till next month ….. Gizmo

Next month should see us with a lot happening. Until then just get out and ride. Don't forget to watch for our motorcycle friends.

Random Reflections-

• I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now!

• You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If she is holding a gun, she's probably angry.

• You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

• I don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.

• I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes five years in a row. • I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

• Last year I joined a support group for procrastinators. We haven't met yet...

• Old age is coming at a really bad time! • When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment... now, as a grownup, it just feels like a small vacation!

• The biggest lie I tell myself is...."I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it".

• I don't have gray hair. I have "wisdom highlights". I'm just very wise. • Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

• Of course I talk to myself, sometimes I need expert advice. • At my age "getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. Sent in by: Leonhardt9@

OCTOBER 2015

By: Jimbo A few years ago the subject of who’s building cars here on the MS Gulf Coast came up. Now there are quite a few builders here on the Coast, and the vehicles being built in garages around here are nothing short of great work. Hot rods, classics, traditionals, restorations and even the “rat-rods” are always admired when they roll into a cruise-in or car show. The Gulf Coast is a shipbuilding community or at least it was… some folks started out at the Pascagoula shipyard, stayed awhile then went on to open their own business. Such is the case of Richard Arguelles who opened his auto parts yard in 1985. It takes years to a build business, let alone allowing yourself the luxury of spending some of your profits on your own hobbies. The love of water and cars is a strange mix but when you're into creating a personal craft that’s just filled with all the details you like, patients is the main ingredient. When I found out there was a new car about to be unveiled, after a five year build, I just had to check it out. So a few months ago I visited Arguelles Automotive and met Richard. I finally talked him into showing me the “Woody”. It wasn’t finished but I could tell this was a special car. Talking Richard into letting me feature his car in the October issue was not as easy as you might think. But here it is, and I hope when you see the “Woody” from the MS Gulf Coast you will see the kind of craftsmanship our Gulf Coast has to offer….and just in time for Cruisin’ the ® Coast Jimbo, Here is how my woody came about: Back in 2009 a lifelong friend and very talented, local retired carpenter named Kenneth Campbell (who also helped build our home and our 43' Powercat cruiser 10 10

OCTOBER 2015 OCTOBER 2015

"Ariba") came into the shop looking for another project. Richard told him he was not planning on taking on another boat project because he was in the middle of building a custom 32 Ford Vicky. I saw my chance to have a hot rod/delivery truck and pretty cool advertising piece for Arguelles Automotive. Richard asked Kenneth if he wanted to help build a woody delivery truck and he quickly said "yes." After thinking about it for a few minutes Kenneth asked "what is a Woody?" Thinking it would speed up the build, the completed frame was pulled from the 32 custom in progress and my woody was put in the building process. It took four years of part-time start and stop work. (always business first!) For dependability a corvette small block Chevrolet L98 with a Weiand Stealth RAM EFI was used. The fuel rails are from a ramjet salvaged from a Katrina loss (a little reminder of the past), 700 R4 transmission, and a ZR2 GM rear end with disk brakes all around, front suspension is rear steer with stainless upper and lower control arms built in house. In fact all the fiberglass body parts were custom built plugs, molded and manufactured at Arguelles Automotive, Inc. The color is Coastal Blue, a single stage urethane, with the hard maple wood work clear coated in urethane. The only body parts not manufactured in house were the frame rails produced from American Stamping in Olive Branch, MS., all glass by American Glass Services, Gulfport, MS., and the upholstery was done by Performance Auto upholstery in Gulfport, MS.

by Candy Cocktail Some of you may love Valentine's Day to cuddle up with your sweetheart and some adore Christmas because it is the time for miracles and good will toward men. Those holidays are fine and dandy, but for me, Halloween is the day that I look forward to! I wait all year for the bewitching season of ghosts and goblins! Fall is my favorite time of the year; time to dig your sweater out of the closet as the air cools and the leaves are changing color, carve pumpkins, take a haunted hayride and get ready to see the friends and family that you have missed as the start of the 'holiday season' begins. Yet as autumn begins, so do the thoughts about things that go bump in the night. So where does the origin of Halloween come from? Contrary to gossip, Halloween was not created by the candy makers. Observed annually on October 31, the history of the holiday dates back to about 1745. Historically the holiday began with the ancient feast of All Hallows’ Eve; a Christianized feast greatly influenced by Celtic based harvest festivals, most likely the festival of Samhain, which comes from the Irish word for “summer’s end.” It marked the beginning of winter. The word Halloween is of Christian origin, meaning a hallowed or holy evening. Likewise, it is the day to remember the dead. Some still stick to the tradition of attending church services or lighting a candle for their deceased loved ones. It is also considered by psychic mediums to be the one night of the year when the veil between our physical world and the spirit world is the thinnest, making it easier for us

to communicate with those that have passed on. So if you are a believer in ghosts and spirits as I am, it is the perfect time to talk to those that you are missing. With the spirit world being more active on All Hallows’ Eve, it was believed that people needed protection, so they would leave food, drinks or portions of their crops as offerings to the spirits. After the eating, the household festivities, traditions and games began. Dating as far back as the 16th century, people are recorded to have gone from house to house reciting verses in exchange for food. They wore the costumes to imitate or disguise themselves from the spirits. If the house gave the young people food, they would be yarn, apple parings or mirrors. Mass Irish and Scottish immigration believed to have good luck. Bad luck would come to anyone who failed to donate their during the 19th century increased the holiday’s celebration in the United States. food.

At that time young Halloween is by far the most iconic. It women also believed that on Halloween began in medieval Britain as a way to they could find the name or appearance of illuminate the night for the pranksters their future husband by doing tricks with traveling from door to door. Originally they

hollowed out turnips and carved them into grotesque faces, representing goblins, to ward off evil spirits. In North America during the 1800s, pumpkins replaced turnips as they were native to the area and much easier to carve. At Halloween, yards and public spaces may be decorated with what have become traditional symbols, including witches, skeletons, cobwebs, scarecrows and headstones. Young women believed that on Halloween they could tell the future name or appearance of their future husband by doing tricks with yarn, apple parings or mirrors. Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love the costumes and special FX makeup. Maybe because of my love of scary movies and haunted houses, I am a believer in ghosts and the supernatural! Creepy characters like the Headless Horseman and Frankenstein have existed for decades, casting a spell on fans around the world. Like countless others, I am a huge fan of scary movies, particularly zombie movies like 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead, and shows like The Walking Dead. Based on a series of graphic novels, The Walking Dead is an international hit with over 30 million fans as zombies are a prevalent force in pop culture today. Yet if all urban legends are derived from a true story, then where do some of our favorite movie monsters originate? Well a few years ago I saw a special on TV about Halloween where I learned the terrifying truth that zombies are a real thing! Yes, you read that correctly. It is time to start planning where you would go during the apocalypse bug out phase. Or if you are anything like me, you already spend a ridiculous amount of time thinking about this very issue. In the small country of Haiti lies the origin of the modern day zombie. In the

He soon learned of the Haitian folklore of a zombie creature, in which a dead body, with no will of its own, is reanimated by the magic of Haitian voodoo. The voodoo priest or priestess uses spells and herbs to bring the dead back to life and make the soulless zombie their personal slave forever. This phenomenon gained widespread attention during the US occupation of Haiti, when government papers acknowledged their existence and a number of zombie case studies began to emerge. The mindless beasts, deemed zombies, are acknowledged in a variety of other countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s folklore, from Africa to the Caribbean. The zombie possibility is a very real one as evidenced by insects today. A recent

Romania. Born in 1431, Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, AKA Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Dracula, was estimated to have killed up to 100,000 Europeans. Even though he was a revered hero in Romania and Bulgaria, the tyrant’s reputation for excessive cruelty spread throughout Europe. To add to the lure of the legend, his body was never found. The tales of the disgusting punishments that his enemies received spread and eventually became publicly read manuscripts. Which in turn lead to the creation of Irish author Bram Stoker’s 1897 renowned horror novel, Dracula. The character of Count Dracula became synon ym ous with vampires, creating a character that has become an iconic villain in media since. article on the rt news website cited a Japanese study that found oakblue butterfly caterpillars using zombie ants as slaves. This caterpillar secretes a sugary substance that the ants become addicted to once they taste it, even forgetting their daily duties and their search for food. The caterpillars control their ‘bodyguards’ using chemical and visual signals, even during its cocoon stage when it needs protection from predators, the ants will stand guard. George A. Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead is the original zombie movie. It was a low budget movie filmed locally on weekends, yet it changed the genre of horror films forever. Today the undead creatures are defined as reanimated human corpses with a hunger for human flesh. With CDC acknowledgement, zombie walks and websites devoted to research and survival tips; it is a prevalent part of the 21st

century. Post-apocalyptic zombie works not only scare us, but they interest us because they thrive on our humanity, our fears, our will to survive and the idea that humanity will always have hope. Of course we cannot discuss movie monsters and leave out the infamous bloodsucker known as the vampire. Dracula is the definitive vampire, with his real world roots originating in current day

This month I will be busy watching SyFy’s Ghost Hunters, scary movies and my childhood favorite, Hocus Pocus, screaming at Universal Studios Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights and enjoying more treats than tricks. I hope you will enjoy the holiday as well. Even if you are not a fan of the eerie and scary, at least you know where the holiday, its traditions and our classic movie monsters originated. October is here. Time for trick or treating, but beware, there may be zombies and ghouls near.

The safety of your street rod is of vital importance. If the street rod does not meet a certain set of guidelines, an accident can cause more than just replacing the parts. The NSRA or National Street Rod Association is the organization doing the safety inspections. Keep in mind that these safety inspections are completely voluntary. In most cases, safety inspections can be done at many of the street rod shows around the country. Generally, when a safety inspection is done, it is good for one year. http://www.streetrod101.com/safety-inspection.html

That is the day before Cruisin The Coast starts on Sunday Oct 4. The show is open to all cruisers. The setting for the show is on base on beautiful Back Bay under 100 plus year old oak trees.

Proceeds go to support the Keesler Recreation Department. Well we found Scotty and me a new classic car…a 1965 Ford Mustang. I had to go through thousands of cars online to find it and I think I got lucky! We were looking for a 65 with automatic, a V-8 and air conditioned. What we found was all that plus a west coast car. Cars from the dry climates out west have very little rust on them. It’s funny, most of the cars I was finding was up north or out west, way too far to go look at. Even this car was listed as being in Indiana. But upon reading the details on the car, there it was… a car purchased in Nevada and brought to Florida a little over a year ago. The car was located in Navarre, FL about 160 miles east of Gulfport. We had to get up at 4:30 am on Saturday morning September 5, drive to Navarre, test drive, decide if we wanted it and then head back to the Coast to get ready for The Coast Cruizers 1st Saturday night Cruize-in that

night. We got up early, (I’ll only get up that early for a car, a car show, vacation travel or fishing) grabbed some breakfast and headed east. We arrived a Rich’s house, looked the Mustang over, did the test drive and negotiated the deal. The car was better than I expected. We hightailed it back to Mississippi, but not before calling Dick Russell’s Bar B Q in Tillman’s Corner for some barbeque pork sandwiches to go. We made it back in about 3 pm and got the Mustang cleaned up for its first cruise-in and the Hot Rod Show trailer ready for the show.

near the railroad tracks is hundreds of cars. Edgewater Mall is on the beach near the Gulfport/Biloxi line.

Mother Nature did not cooperate, an hour before the cruise-in we got a good downpour, plus it was raining all over the radar map. A Cruise-in that should have had 150 or more cars, ended up with about 75 brave souls. The weather wasn’t bad at Edgewater Mall after that early shower, but the rain around the area killed the car count and the crowd. We had a good night with the smaller crowd, had a good decent 50/50 jackpot and gave out a lot of Auto Zone door prizes. Make your plans now for our 3rd annual Coast Cruizer’s MEGA Cruisein. We close out Cruisin The Coast every year at the hottest spot for Cruisin…5:30 to 9 pm at Edgewater Mall, HWY 90 Biloxi on the last Saturday night of Cruisin The Coast.

All the funds the Coast Cruisers raise during the year goes to our annual handicap van project. Each year we give a deserving family a handicapped van that we have worked on all year on and have installed a lift chair gate into. Such a great cause…each family has such a great need for these vans. Thank you to everyone that supports our events! Fall cruisin is here…the weather will be great! Get that ole Hot Rod out of the garage and enjoy the 17 FOREVER way of life! til next month…

What is a Potter Trunk? I admired the 1934 Ford 2 dr. sedan owned by Raymond Vansickle at a car show in Plainfield, Indiana. I just had to share it with you. It is a stunning example of street rodding creativity and genius. Every street rod I encounter has owner touches that make it unique unto itself. I felt it was important for you to experience this amazing vehicle and focus on one component in particular. The drive train features a 1996 LT1 engine with a 4L60E transmission running through a 9 inch Ford rear end. A ’70 American Motors station wagon panel was grafted on as the top. The front seats came from a 1999 Subaru and a 1992 Blazer was the rear seat donor. The rear seat folds up and down. The upholstery, stitched by Ronnie and Linda Cornwell of Kentucky Kustoms in Morganfield, Kentucky, is sumptuous and certainly adds to this car’s appearance and comfort. I was especially fond of the pouch in place of the glove box. This car has been driven all over the United States and has also been to Canada. The exterior color takes on different hues as the light changes and is called Mystery Green. Another great feature on this custom is the Potter Trunk. The Potter Trunk was introduced as a Ford Authorized Accessory, December 19, 1933 and the retail price was $37.50. Ford referred to this trunk as a “Luggage Carrier” in their 1934 Accessory Brochure. The spare tire could be mounted on the back of the trunk. Given the date of introduction, it appears that the trunk was specific to the 1934 Model year, but it was also authorized for 1933. This trunk was built to Ford specifications by Potter Manufacturing Company and was their best seller. When Potter Manufacturing Company of Jackson, Michigan began making steel trunks in 1923, 100 trunks were made daily and later increased to 10,000 per month. They shipped parts not only to U.S.

Raymond Vansickle manufacturers, but also to Canada and other nations. In it’s heyday around 1927, the company employed more than 100 workers. During the Depression, the company manufactured trailer parts. Clark Z. Potter served as president during the 1920’s and early 1930’s. Robert Beeley of Jackson was the longest tenured employee, hired at the start in 1881 and staying nearly until the company closed in 1937. It is rare to see an original Potter Trunk on a 1934 Ford these days and this is a great example. Raymond Vansickle has created an impressive example of a 1934 Ford Street Rod. Thank you for all your hard work.

Story & Photos by: Denise “Neecy” Meyer

Barry Barone, owner of B and B Motorsports was born and raised in Chalmette, Louisiana. He started his first restoration of a 1966 Mustang and the ripe young age of 14. He discovered drag racing during his college years which prompted him to build a super-comp dragster. Barry traveled all over the United States with this dragster for twelve years winning the Southern Nationals in 1986, running a time of 8.90 going 155 mph.

I asked Mr. Barone what brought him to Picayune and he told me that hurricane Katrina destroyed his businesses in Louisiana, so he decided that he wanted a new beginning at a different location. He scouted around in Louisiana but wasn’t able to find anything that suited his needs. Finally he came across inviting acreage in Picayune that was perfect for what he wanted to do with it. The first car he built in his new shop was his personal 1934 Ford replica which is B&B’s signature rod. When a vehicle comes into the shop, the first thing Barry and his crew do is perform a safety inspection. They inspect the car meticulously, and then they generate a list with the client of suggestions of things they might want to look at in the future. B&B offers a wide range of services including suspension, complete rewiring, engine and transmission, brakes, bodywork and paint services and let’s not forget air conditioning. (a must have in the south!) B&B Motorsports is also a Certified Holley EFI Dealer, we do installation and warranty work. Many parts, especially body parts are no longer available for purchase, but the fabricators at B&B will construct whatever is needed to complete a build. The fabricators will often create something unique for the client’s ride giving him or her a truly custom rod! Barry Barone and his team will be displaying their work at Cruising the Coast this year and can be found at the Vicari Auction at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. ~Neecy www.facebook.com/neecyknightphotography

can full of the stuff. "Put one pint in with 20 gal of gas and you will be running 100 or more octane". It sure did work! Rod designed the drive train for Parnelli Jones Turbine Indy 500 race car. He and Doug Nash also told me how to design the 69 Camaro Stock Car that had wings before the outlaws and others put them on their Sprint Cars. (but that's another story see photo) Last month we were reviewing Riverside Speedway (road course) in Riverside Calif. 2 1/2 mile track asphalt and my car was 1957 Pontiac. It was very fast! I made 4 pit stops for tires (I was running Bill Kretch recaps from Inglewood Tire.) The 1st tire blew on the right turn of the back straight. I then learned to "baby" the left front thru all those right hand turns. It was 100 laps 250 miles, and some of the mile turns I could keep up the speed and not back off much going in. The "Bad One" was at the end of the back straight, (Harold had clocked me at 156 when I shut off.) So to keep racing I had to run down the straight (all out) and jam on the brakes to save the left front where I blew the 1st time, but about 20 or 30 laps the left front would get a bubble under the recap, which told me go in and get a new left front. The reason I didn't put stock tires on was Ray Nichels head of Pontiacs racing division made one thing very clear "make sure that they remember Pontiac when they leave the track". There wasn't anyone on the track that I didn't pass at least once (including the winner Jerrey Unser). We wound up 10th out of 33 cars, and made 4 pit stops for tires. The rest of the field made 2 stops. I'll tell you some of the "cheater" things that made us sit in the trophy dash in every race we ran! (They sure were happy @ Pontiac) The rules were; all body & suspension parts must be factory stock and at least 500 parts previously sold to the public! Our 1st installation, Cadillac front sway bar. Remember, this is Los Angeles, Calif. and home of the "Hod Rods, Bonneville streamliners, and others". So, out in Compton, Calif. was a guy named Eddie Kuzma. Great body man, chassis genius, and always "the man" at the Indy 500. He and I and Don Edmunds became good friends while we all stayed at the same apt. house on 16th St. in 1956 during the month of May before the Indy 500. This is 10 years before the Watts Riots. It's 1957 and Ray Nichels is watching! I ask him, (Eddie Kuzma) "what would you do to my Pontiac if you were in charge and wanted to win"? He smiled at me and says "In San Pedro there is an etching plant the has large tanks that will take the Hood, Fenders, (front) Trunk lid and any metal part down to .032 if you wish. You can take at least 400 lbs. of total weight, and every 7 lbs. is one horsepower." We figured 55 H.P. or so we gained, and of course corner speed was up, due to the lighter weight. This was the days of "Win on Sunday" "Sell on Monday". We sure had them talking Pontiac when they left the track! I wanted to run Kretchs recaps because I never had a problem with my midget on asphalt with recaps. Bill Kretch (Inglewood Tire Owner) warned me not to run them, but I remember Ray Nichels looking at me when he flew out to L.A. and met Harold Miller and I at the L.A. Airport, and he said "Larry I don't care about anything else, but I want them (fans) talking about "Pontiac" when they leave the track! When we got most of the "etching" done, put in the Cadillac front sway bar, we then put the 120 psi to the fuel tank (stock tank) and blew it up, (expanded) so it would hold 20 + gallons instead of the 18 before being expanded. After the race at Paramount Ranch (USAC Stock Cars) the inspectors would put a mirror on a creeper and roll it under the car to check the stock tank, if expanded, you changed it or you didn't run! The next thing was a chemical called Toluene. My good pal Rod Schapel of Bonneville Salt Flat Streamliner fame got to me with a 1 gallon

Ya’ know how it is… you see a group of friendly folks at the show sorta’ mosey over and hopefully join in on the conversation. I was passed the following article from a guy I know at the show. (it was written by Ron Springer, in his Night Prowler column published in Car Kulture Deluxe magazine.) I read it a couple of times and shook my head in acknowledgement.. Agreed with him about some of the politics that is going on today and telling him maybe I should reprint the copy he gave me. So here it is……….

HE SAID….SHE SAID……I HEARD…… by Ron Springer We’ve all been there. Someone you know, call him “Friend A.” says something derogatory about someone else you know, “Friend B”, and then wants you to agree with him, even though you were standing in line a hundred miles away at the Git-n-Spit waiting to pay for a bad cup of 10 hour coffee when the whole thing happened. What to do? If you agree with “Friend A” and accept the news about “Friend B” without confirming it for yourself, you keep “Friend A “who will probably leave your shop and go down the street to “Friend C” and tell him that you agree with what he said about “Friend B.” Friend C will then call you up and ask if what he heard is true about “Friend B”, whom you will then tell that you really don’ know because of the whole coffee line thing. Re-reading that paragraph sounds almost as convoluted and confusing as the situation I was trying to impart. That’s the trouble with rumor and innuendo. It is like the deal you’ve seen where one person is told a simple phrase like “There is a snake in the road”, and then passes it to the person next to him, who passes it to the next person and so on until a dozen or so people have heard the phrase. The last person speaks aloud what he heard and it comes out as something like ”The steak is well done.” And that, to me, is confusing.

grandfathers that says among other things, “If you can’t say something good, keep your mouth shut!.” Where is the satchel full of traditional values that goes along with our traditional cars? What happened to the practice of shunning the passer of rumors instead of the person about whom they are being passed? You know, there was a time, and not too long ago when you had to swear an oath to be a member of most self-respecting car clubs. And that oath included swearing to abide by a code of conduct. And in some clubs this oath is alive and well today whether sworn to or simple known upon joining. Just ask the Dead Sleds what they think about passing rumors. Ask them about their code of conduct and consequences of breaking it. Paraphrased it goes something like this: Do the right think or you’re out! So, here’s my version of the Kustom Kar Kode of Konduct: Never degrade a fellow enthusiast’s car……no exceptions. Speak only the truth and if the truth is harsh, say nothing at all. Never denigrate the honor and reputations of a fellow enthusiast. Open the door for ladies. If you have to “correct” a fellow enthusiast, do it privately. Own your mistakes and accept the consequences without excuse. Share knowledge freely and mentor excessively. Hold no grudge, seek no revenge. Have no ear for rumors and no mouth for gossip. Lead by example through actions and words. Swear this oath and you will be a member of a very exclusive and elite club. In this club you will receive no accolades for your adherence, no praise for your actions and no trophy for your participation. But you will get something far more valuable: a good reputation. And you will be forever thought of as a gentleman. Or, of course, a lady.

I would like to say that our hobby is exempt from all this nonsense. I’d like to say that we lovers of all things kustom and traditional are the kind of people that mind our own businesses and stay away from controversy. I would like to say that we don’t judge people or form opinions based on hearsay. I would like to say that we stick together, huddleup and protect our own. I’d like to, but I can’t. We “car folk” are sometimes more cannibalistic, more into barnyard rules and jungle survival than most. We will eat reputation for breakfast and chase them down with a big cup of character trashing. We publically praise while we privately thrash. We judge cars and give trophies while we judge people and give condescension as the prize. We can be, as a group, worse about passing on unsubstantiated rumors than just about any other group there is. We genuinely love a good rumor. I will grant that there are still those amongst us who refuse to talk about anyone behind his back and who have no time or interest in hearing gossip. I just think they are becoming harder to find as the “greatest generation” enters their twilight years and more and more of the people who taught us how to wrench pass from this earth. Now, before you go off on me as some “holier than thou” tree huggin’ kumbaya singing hippie type out to get the world to hold hands and sing in perfect harmony, realize that not only have I passed rumors, but I have also been the victim of some pretty nasty ones. And it is these experiences that have formed my thoughts and opinions. I have seen the aftermath created by unsubstantiated rumors. I have found that no matter what I do, or do NOT do, I will accumulate detractors. Even when I think I am acting selflessly and in the spirit of honesty and decency, I have found that the determinations of what is honest and decent will be mercilessly interpreted based on what people THINK I said or did not, not what actually happened. So, as I am so often prone to doing on this little page, I am calling for a groundswell of change and a thunderclap of agreement that this has got to stop. Whatever happened to that unwritten but universally known and agreed upon “Code of Conduct” handed down from our fathers and

Hey, any of you into politics these days? How about all of those dudes in the Republican Party running for president? There must be 15 of them. They all had a real lively debate too. However, the Democratic Party has been pretty quite. There are only two candidates running and no debates so far. As a matter of fact, where’s Hillory been? She seems to be missing in action. I went to the store the other day, to get some groceries, and there was her picture on a carton of milk that said, ‘HAVE YOU SEEN HER’. Hey, tell me about it. I’ve made a resolution, that it is time I stand of my own two feet and quit bumming money from my ole man and lady. As a matter of fact, I wrote them a real nice letter, concerning this. TO THE PARENTS OF CUZ, IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR SON AGAIN, ALIVE, THEN DEPOSIT $100 IN HIS CHECKING ACCOUNT REAL SOON. So far, nothing, but I already feel better about myself. One day I overheard these two dudes sitting around talking. One said to the other, “say, didn’t you tell me you had an anniversary comin up soon”. The other dude said, “Ya I do”. “Well, do you have any particular plans”? The other dude said, “Well ya know, on our 10th anniversary, I took the little lady on down to Mexico. Now this being our 20th, I thinking about goin back down there and bringin her on back”. You know what, sometimes you just can’t fix stupid!! Just in case you haven’t heard, they have now come out with a ‘new’ Barbie doll, called ‘divorce’ Barbie. Seems that when you buy ‘divorce’ Barbie, she comes with all of Ken’s stuff. I wonder who brainstormed that one up, some woman? Just Keepin It Real, Just Keepin It Real! Keep it hangin loose CUZ …. just becuz. Hey, check out my ad near the back of MotorSports.

Thank you Jimbo and all of our Street Rod Family From Ken & MaryLou Baker

A Frozen Carburetor Sent in by Moye.Randy@ People often complain about the police, but you rarely hear about the positive things they do, such as this incident involving a biker and a frozen carburetor. Last January on a bitterly cold winter's day, a North Dakota State Trooper on patrol came upon a motorcyclist who was stalled by the roadside. The biker was swathed in heavy protective clothing and wearing a full-face helmet to protect the face from the cold weather. “What's the matter? asked the Trooper

OCTOBER 2015

"Carburetor's frozen," was the terse reply. "Pee on it. That'll thaw it out." "I can't," said the biker. "OK, watch me closely and I'll show you." The Trooper unzipped and promptly warmed the carburetor as promised. Moments later the bike started and the rider drove off, waving. A few days later, the local State Troopers' office received a note of thanks from the father of the motorcyclist. It began: "I would like to thank you on behalf of my daughter Jill..."

NEVER GIVE UP We looked for a Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible that we could afford and not a rust bucket for almost a year. We finally found this 1969 in Tucson, Arizona. After a very long 1500 mile trip one way we loaded up the car and headed back home with exactly what we had been looking for. The beautiful blue with a white power top and bucket seats and a big block 454 engine with a 700 R4 transmission. The only thing missing was the A/ C and our good friend Gene Whitney took care of that problem in a very professional manner with a new Vintage air unit. Gene came highly recommended. Looking forward to attending as many of the local cruise-inâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as we are able to. Jim & Carol Sandidge

The most successful model of Cushman scooter, the Eagle, was in production approximately 16 years. It resembled a motorcycle with its exposed engine and top tank. Other Cushman models used a step-through design common for scooters. The step-through design and ease of operation made it popular with men and women alike. Some late-1950s Cushmans, designated Road King and Pacemaker, had jet-age body styling. Sears sold a version of these models under the Allstate brand. Cushman scooters featured an automatic centrifugal clutch, which allowed the rider to twist the right grip to accelerate. Oddly, the throttle twisted forward during acceleration, opposite the usual pattern in most other motorcycles and scooters. Cushman claimed 75 miles per gallon, and advertised penny-a-mile operating cost. Cushman scooters usually weighed about 250 to 335 pounds and had as much as 9 horsepower (6.7 kW). Scooter production ended in 1965, but some remaining Eagles were sold as 1966 models. After scooter production ceased, Cushman manufactured golf carts, industrial vehicles and turf maintenance equipment.

1960 Cushman The Cushman company started in 1903 in Lincoln, Nebraska, by Everett and Clinton Cushman. The company incorporated as Cushman Motor Works in 1913. Cushman began production of their four-stroke Husky engine in 1922. Cushman produced engines for farm equipment, pumps, lawn mowers and boats. Cushman began making Auto-Glide scooters in 1936 as a means to increase the sale of Husky engines during the Great Depression. Cushman scooters were widely used by the United States Armed Forces in World War II and as an alternative to automobiles before and after the war. One famous Cushman was the model 53, a military model from the World War II era. Designed to be dropped by parachute with Army Airborne troops, it became known as the Cushman Airborne. Other models were used on military bases for messenger service.

September 13, 2015 Jimbo, The excitement here in the shop is running high with the thought of having Jeff Lutz with us at Cruisin’ the Coast Swap Meet from October 8-10, 2015. Last month, we were at Trifive Nationals with Jeff and what a crowd he drew. Everyone will be able to meet him and his 1957 Twin Turbo “Evil Twin” Chevy Belair at our outdoor booth (A227-A236) at the Biloxi Coast Coliseum. He is a most humble man and will answer all of your questions, take pictures and sign autographs. He will be making appearances at other sponsored events on the Coast from 4-8 so be sure to check out our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/redline.lumtronix) or Gulf Coast MotorSports Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ GulfCoastMotorSports) for times and dates. As you know, every year we like to unveil new products at our home town show. This year we will be featuring LED tail lights that are three times brighter than OEM tail lights to include a sequential feature. All of these years we have had your front end covered with LED halo headlights and now we have your rear end covered with LED tail lights. We will also be selling our LED headlight bulbs that are the best on the market that surpasses the brightness of any HID. We also now sell LED bulbs to replace all of your dingy white incandescent bulbs which are 2 times brighter than OEM. Special introductory pricing of all these new items will cause them to sell fast, so come early. As you know, Cruisin’ the Coast is a special time for us because we first appeared here 5 years ago. Special thanks to Cruisin’ the Coast cruisers who have support us all these years.

About Beauvoir Beauvoir was the last home of Jefferson Davis and it was the site of his retirement. The house was built by James Brown, a wealthy plantation owner from Madison County, Mississippi. The house was started in late 1848 and was completed in 1852. The house was built as a summer home for his wife and his (eventually 13) children. It was then called Orange Grove, due to the Satsuma Oranges being grown on the property. Mr. Brown died in 1866 and his widow continued to own the property until 1873 when she was forced to sell the property at public auction to pay and satisfy the taxes due on her husband's estate. Frank Johnson, a land speculator purchased the house for taxes and then sold the house and property three months later. Sarah Dorsey was the next owner of the property and when she first looked out over the Mississippi Sound from the front porch of the house, she said "Oh my, what a beautiful view - that's what I am going to call this property: Beauvoir!" (Which is French for beautiful view or beautiful to look at). From that point on - the property was known as Beauvoir. In 1877, Jefferson Davis was looking for a quiet retreat to write his books and papers. While inspecting property on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, he paid a courtesy call on Mrs. Dorsey (a family friend). He told her of his plans to try to find a place to write his books and papers. She encouraged him to stay at Beauvoir in one of the two pavilions in front of Beauvoir House to write his books. He agreed to do so only if he paid $50.00 a month for room and board. After two years, he fell in love with the property and he wanted to buy it. She in turn wanted to sell it to him, so they agreed upon a selling price of $5,500.00 dollars to be paid in three payments. He made the first payment and six months later, Mrs. Dorsey died. At that time he found out he was her sole heir and he eventually inherited the house along with other property. Jefferson Davis died in 1889. His daughter, Winnie, then inherited the property and when she died in 1898, Varina, Jefferson Davis' widow inherited the property. Mrs. Davis sold the property to the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans with two stipulations. The first was that the property be used for a Confederate Veterans Home for the veterans and or their widows at no charge to them and that was done from 1903 until 1957 when the last three widows were transferred to a private nursing home in Greenwood, Mississippi, when it was no longer practical to keep them at the site. The second stipulation for the sale of the property was that it be used as a memorial to Jefferson Davis and the Confederate Soldier; and that has been done from 1903 until the present time.

They Say....

Stupidity is not a crime, so you’re free to go. They Say. Run in front of a motorcycle and you get tired. Run behind a motorcycle and you’ll get exhausted. They Say. Virginity is like a bubble: one prick, and it’s gone. They Say.

Marriage is like game of poker. You start with pair and end with full house. They Say.

Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand. They Say.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot… They Say.

Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. They Say. “She looked like the kind of woman I could fall in love with. Trouble is, she was standing next to the kind of woman I’d like to make love to. ” Jarod Kintz, info call (850) 249-7627, www.thunderbeachproductions.com.
