Halifax-area resident wins 2013 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus in A&W’s Cruisin’ the Dub contest

For more information please go to www.raceramps.com

There is one more proud Dodge owner in Nova Scotia, thanks to an exciting partnership between A&W Food Services of Canada Inc. and Chrysler Canada. “I was with the kids, working on a puzzle at the kitchen table, when the call came in that I won the car,” says contest winner Debora Solarski. “When I called my husband at work, he thought I was joking.” Solarski couldn’t wait to claim her prize, a gleaming white 2013 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus, saying she likes the car’s sportiness and that it’s a “fun car.” The 2-door coupe Dodge Challenger SXT Plus is the grand prize in this summer’s A&W Cruisin’ the Dub® contest—part of A&W’s national Cruisin’ the Dub program that invites car enthusiasts to share their passions and their memories at A&W restaurants. A&W restaurants across Canada hosted thousands of events this past season, with another season planned for 2014. More information about Cruisin’ the Dub is available at www.aw.ca.

BIG G’s AUTOBODY & RESTORATION ABBOTSFORD, BC. as Bowtie and Killer Customs. Ever since they started, both had always done side jobs out of home shops where they had been able to do things their own way. Realizing that working for someone else is not the same as doing it your own way, Wes started his own business and then this past summer he teamed up with Rob, moved into a new location, and created Big G’s Autobody and Restoration with the goal of providing people with quality work for price tags that wouldn’t scare customers away.

here are probably a ton of people out there with an old hot rod or muscle car sitting in their garage or backyard who wish they could restore it back to its full potential, but unfortunately doing so usually costs a pretty penny. Brothers Rob and Wes Piatocka of Big G’s Autobody and Restoration out of Abbotsford, B.C. believe they have a solution for some, by offering quality work at a morethan reasonable price. They will do everything they can to make sure you get your vehicle looking the way you want, while sticking to your budget. Both Rob and Wes got early starts to their autobody and restoration careers with Wes having completed his first paint job on a car at age 18, and Rob starting to work at Spectrum Autobody at around the same age. After that, Rob got his bodywork apprenticeship and finished it by working at Don Beck Collision and then moving on to Kirmac Collision. Wes, in the meantime, worked at Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting where he says he really learned how to finish jobs quickly, without sacrificing any quality while doing so. In addition to that, both brothers have spent time in the Caribbean honing their craft, with Wes spending five years doing so, and Rob stopping by to help a few different times.

Both Rob and Wes’ vision for their shop was the same, providing affordable work for the everyman while doing everything they can to work to their customer’s budget. Some of the ways they achieve this is by pointing their customers in the right direction to purchase their own materials so that they don’t have to sell it to them at a marked-up cost. Another factor in keeping the price so low is the sheer speed at which they get things done due to their 60-plus combined years in the business; Rob and Wes know exactly what to do, and the best way to do it. There isn’t a situation they haven’t seen, and not one they don’t know how to deal with. One example of both the quality of work and the diversity of jobs they do is a 1936 Bentley owned by a mutual friend that they helped convert from a 4-door hardtop to a 2-door convertible with suicide doors. Another friend of theirs had put in a total of 3,500 hours’ worth of work and when it came time to do the paint and bodywork on the car, they decided to call up Big G’s. Rob and Wes surely didn’t disappoint as the final result is a stunning machine that will definitely turn heads at any car show.

So whether your current project needs some paint, bodywork, or some welding done, give the guys at Big G’s Autobody and In the more recent years, both Rob and Wes worked at some Restoration a call at 604-744-1133 and you can be sure you will of the more well-known shops in the Lower Mainland area such get quality work at a more-than reasonable price.

Old School Doesn’t Have To Be Old Bigger isn’t always better. Take your classic muscle car’s wheels for instance.

GLA has reengineered the iconic Magnum 500 wheel, producing an alloy 1-piece version of the classic 2-piece welded steel versions. The GLA Magnum wheel is lighter, stronger and easier to balance than the old Magnum 500. It is about 50% lighter than the original steel version and 1-piece design makes it a stronger, easier to balance wheel. Thanks to GLA you can get the benefits of modern technology and still retain that classic muscle car look. Yep, old school doesn’t have to be old.

Replica Ford GT40

Story and photos by Cam Hutchins

s any Ford lover will tell you, the Ford GT40 captures the attention and wins hearts like no other. In the past, when Ford was faced with negative press...think Pinto or Explorer tires... they could have made replica GT40s that would instantly overshadow all problems. Look at the clamour over the Ford GT. It was not called the GT40, as Ford somehow forgot to keep the copyright on the name....they just built them, raced them, and forgot them.

Eliminator he built with his son. Kremyr’s talents are legendary in the racing industry, including his own 1957 T-Bird which was very well known and competitive in D/Altered until the original Mission dragstrip closed in 1978. A couple of other stellar projects included Dave Richardson’s 1972 Ford Capri that finished No. 7 in NHRA Super Gas in 1992, and Joe Delehay’s first 1972 Chevy truck that ran as a Pro Mod in the high-6 second range.

Luckily, one company did not forget them, and CAV out of Cape Town, South Africa has been making replicas for a number of years using a Stainless Steel Monocoque frame with a 1965 Ford GT40 body made from vinylester fibreglass. Vinylester is stronger and more stable than conventional polyester resin. B.C.’s Dwain Kremyr, carnut and race car fabricator/drag racer, always wanted a Ford GT40, and in his business he got to work on many tribute cars including numerous Shelby 427 Cobras and Daytona Coupes. Always bringing his own special talents to the task, designing and fabricating many suspension components in his shop, Kremyr Racing, in Cloverdale. Family projects have included his wife’s 1966 Mustang Shelby clone (she’s owned the car since 1973), and a 1970 Cougar 34 Performance Plus DEC 13 / JAN 14

GT40s (check out cavgt.ca). Purchasing the car in January 2009, it took him a year just to develop and build the suspension and custom uprights. Fabricating patterns in-house for the parts needed, they were then cast and brought back for machining in-house. The car’s stainless steel chassis has some custom touches done by Kremyr and the suspension is all custom. The front is double wishbone, built from 4130 tubing, while the rear is a four-link independent suspension. Rod ends are aircraft-quality throughout the car, as are all the fasteners. Both front and rear uprights are custom built inhouse, as are many other parts of which there are too many to list. The shocks are Penske 8300 series coil-overs, with spring rates of 550# front and 750# rear, custom-built for the car by Chris Billings at The Shock Shop in Oregon. A custom braking system using 14-inch full-floating rotors, Brembo six-piston billet calipers and a Power Brake Corp. electric power brake system are more than adequate. After the track closed and building race cars tapered off, Kremyr The GT40 is powered by a 363 c.i. small block Ford built by went to work welding and fabricating helicopters and aircraft for the Ken Orser. It has a Dart 302 block, Scat 3.4-stroke crank and airlines for 23 years, and also built cars on the side, like a totally rods, and 10.2 compression Sealed Power pistons. It is topped custom 1964 Daytona Coupe for a customer, which won an award at the 2008 SEMA Show from Mothers Wax and Polish. One of his favourites was a 1965 AC Cobra Custom 4130 chromemoly tube chassis car for Vern and Fred Welsh. This car featured many custom pieces designed and fabricated by Kremyr, and more knowledge was gained for his own project. His brother was at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France in the summer of 2007 and brought him home lots of memorabilia, including a stack of brochures on the CAV GT40 out of South Africa. That was it – the seed was planted! He was like a dog with a bone, and nobody was going to deny him the opportunity. The importing of the CAV Ford GT40 chassis was not an easy task. It took 1-½ years to get MOT to allow the car into Canada, and after all the hassle, Kremyr became the Canadian Dealer for the CAV

with a TWM eight-stack EFI System wired by Dave Hartnell and tuned by Bill Bowering at Indy Speed. A stainless steel exhaust system with 180-degree headers completes the engine. Harnessing all this power is a five-speed ZF Replica Transaxle made by Quaife Engineering in England. To keep true to the spirit of the GT40, the interior is trimmed in black leather on custom-made seats, including all the cooling grommets. Black wool carpets are a luxurious departure from the spartan race car, as is a heavily soundproofed custom firewall to keep the interior quiet and safe from the motor just inches away. That being said, the custom sound system comes from the Ford engine and 180-degree exhaust. The custom wheels are three-piece, using centres made from billet by TCS using Kremyr designs. The inner and outer halves are from BBS. The fronts are 10x17 with 255 Kumho tires, and the rears are 13.5x17 with 335 Kumhos.

Wanting to stand out from the standard red or Gulf colours, the paint is a Lamborghini Tangerine tri-colour, picked in memory of Dave Smith, whose golf cart got painted that colour just to see how it would look.

The car was finished in September 2011, just a little too late to be accepted as an entrant into the 2012 Carmel by the Sea Concours on the Avenue in Carmel, California. It was on display in the Shelby owners group display at Laguna Seca Raceway during the Montery Historic Races in 2012. The car drives amazingly well and is well-mannered when in polite traffic, but can become the monster it was designed to be when appropriate. It has only been driven under 1,000 miles, due mainly to Kremyr’s business taking up most of his time.

If you have the opportunity to see this striking GT40 up close and personal, you’ll see what an amazing craftsman Kremyr is. Now he’s looking forward to re-restoring his ’57 T-Bird, and building out his ’63 Falcon Ranchero for a shop truck. You know they’ll be done with the love and attention to detail that he is renowned for.

The opening party was hosted poolside on the Mandalay Bay Beach the evening of September 25, with a performance by country music recording star Clay Walker. There was also a special shout out to Canadians from Barrett-Jackson President, Steve Davis during his welcome remarks…”Friends from Canada,….we love you and how you love your cars, and what you do” which was received with cheers and enthusiasm by the crowd. And, there is no doubt that it seemed like there were Canadians almost everywhere. For Gordon Tracey, from Calgary, Alberta, it was his fourth time attending the BarrettJackson Auction in Las Vegas. As a car collector, what he really likes is the openness of the event. “It is not restricted, so you can get close to the car being sold and the owner is usually there” he said, “so you can talk to the owner to find out about the car.” And that feeling of accessibility was not only supported by having the auction cars on display in the exhibit hall with many of the owners available to answer questions, but also on 40 Performance Plus DEC 13 / JAN 14

With only 1,935 ever built, a 1970 blue-and-white Plymouth Superbird pulled in a sweet $134,200, while an intensely black one-off custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe brought a more than very respectable $128,700. And there was no shortage of old school classic trucks on hand either….’30s, ‘40s and ‘50s….. but it was a 1955 never-shown, brand new, sleek silver Ford F-100 Custom Pickup with the famous 429 engine that stretched the bank at $132,000. Another standout was the 1999 Chevrolet Suburban from “The Sopranos” television series (Seasons 1-4) which inspired a $110,000 bid and will be followed by the offering of the late James Gandolfini’s 1972 Oldsmobile convertible at the Scottsdale auction January 12-19 2014.

In the exhibit hall was a vast array of vendors but there was only one that hailed from Canada, and it was premier automotive artist Michael Irvine, from Southern Ontario. On display were limited edition reproductions from his original watercolour paintings that depict precisely detailed muscle and sports cars set into an almost surrealistic type of landscape or background scenes, and these impressive car prints were definitely attracting a steady stream of visitors to the booth. There was also an autograph signing by iconic racer Don Prudhomme with the Snake & Mongoose cars, and next to the exhibit area was the Ford- and GM-sponsored Ride ‘N Drive where show participants were able to take a quick passenger test drive in the featured vehicles like a Corvette racing car. The real point is that even if you are not a bidder, there are plenty of cool things to see and enjoy at a BarrettJackson auction, and with reasonable ticket pricing (under $25 per day for general admission at the Las Vegas show) it seems like an event that every car enthusiast should eventually consider having on their travel ‘To-Do’ list.

Car Artist Michael Irvine:

Passionate for American Muscle Story & Photo by Sherry Washington

rom the moment Michael Irvine released his very first print in 1994, Evolution of a Legend, it was, in a sense, his lifelong passion for American muscle cars coming full circle. The print was in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Mustang, but in a way it also commemorated the beginning of Michael‘s transition from a successful commercial illustrator to embracing a career that embodies his love of cars that has been with him since childhood. And isn’t that the dream – “Find something you love to do and you will never work a day in your life.” Most of us know the quote but to actually live it, and make a living, is often another thing all together… yet Michael Irvine is not only doing it, but since committing full time to his artwork in 2006, he has become one of the most recognized and appreciated automotive artists in North America. A graduate of the Graphic Design program at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, Alberta, and now a resident of Southern Ontario, Michael’s original watercolour paintings are known for their classic muscle car imagery and their technical accuracy. With titles like, Reflections of Horsepower, Blast By The Past and Pure As The Driven Snow, his limited edition reproductions are hand-signed and numbered. Michael diligently researches every original detail of the cars to ensure the paintings reflect historical correctness relative to factory options, and he also considers how the colours of various 44 Performance Plus DEC 13 / JAN 14

cars will work together in a painting. The scenes are then developed with the intention of telling a narrative that is essentially fantasy based. With his three ‘They Came With the Farm’ paintings, for example, Michael commented on how one could imagine “you purchase a farm, but haven’t fully explored the property and when you go out you find all these cars… it’s a surprise.” And how great would that be for a car person. Michael acknowledges “I like cars and am making something that resonates with like-minded people. I don’t want to overuse the word but I really am passionate and love cars. It excites me to execute a painting from concept to finish and then to see the excitement of the people who appreciate the art.” Another aspect of Michael’s paintings is the addition of hidden details that can be discovered over time, that is, if you really, really know your cars. Take the Mopar Farm Series for instance; one may not notice on first glance that through the barn door there is a replica of a Dodge Dealership inside or that the rare Boss 429 Mustang in one of his works has a clock on the dash painted to read 8:59 which was the total production number for the original cars built (859). With this level of thought and detail, it is understandable that Michael usually completes just four paintings per year and since he is not a portrait artist copying directly from photographs but is primarily painting from his imagination, he is able to accept only a limited amount of commissioned work due to the time demands – but it definitely is an option, if a one-of-kind original painting is what you have in mind.

When describing what motivates him most, Michael said, “It’s when the art stops them in their tracks and they go ‘wow’… that’s very powerful when you can do that to people without saying a word. It’s the art that draws the people in;” and according to Michael, the patrons of his artwork “really runs the gamut.” From a seven-year old boy who, instead of a ‘Game Boy’, was insistent on purchasing a limited edition print with a 1970 Roadrunner in honour of his father who had passed away; to an increasing number of women who are becoming a huge percentage of his clientele - “it’s not just for guys anymore,” he said. There are a lot of women who were original owners of muscle cars or appreciate classic cars, and Michael thinks of them as ‘drivers’ relative to his artwork not just on the periphery of the car culture. He also feels that women seem to respond to the watercolour medium and some of the floral aspects in his paintings. Active in the collector car hobby, Michael appreciates all muscle cars and has owned many, but ever since driving down his street as a teenager in his first 1970 light blue Mustang and a little kid on the block gave him a ‘thumbs up’ and yelled out “cool car” – Mustangs have remained close to his heart. When, later on, he spent his student loan money on a ’68 Mustang convertible, red with black top, his mother was less than thrilled, that is, until she got behind the wheel. And currently he has a 1971 Firebird Formula as well as a Lime Gold 1967 GTA convertible among others, but when asked what his number one dream car would be today…you got it, it’s an Acapulco Blue 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with a 1970 Dodge Challenger in high impact Plum Crazy Purple running a close second… and then, of course, a long, long list of others. In the end, Michael Irvine says, the most important point is “I’m a car person, I really enjoy cars and what I do is not just a means to an end to make money.” Basically, he sees himself as a guy who just hasn’t grown up and is staying a kid forever….. and that is just fine with him. But one would have to believe it’s even more than fine, for all the classic car enthusiasts who very much appreciate the youthful passion he brings to his artwork – and are, in turn, then able to bring some of that spirit into their own lives through his wonderful paintings.
