Kruisin’ News – December 2009
Bill Matheson
The best story I ever heard from an engine builder is
the one Kenny Gilmour told about Dale Armstrong
scoring a ’61, 409, bubble top Chev in California.
After getting it home Dale checked the engine
number to verify what he had, and in horror found the
serial number to be “x”d out. He moped around until
one of his hotrod friends came by, heard the tale, and
said, “Well, I know Zora Duntov. Here’s his number.
Phone him and ask him about it.”
Mr. Duntov received the call and told Dale
that he himself had “x”d out the serial numbers back
in the days when they were working up the 409. They
started with some 348 blocks from a GM truck plant.
Later, 409s would be factory produced, but the ’61
experimental version was built by Duntov and his
team of engineers; they removed the serial numbers
to avoid any possible confusion.
Dale asked Zora if he would send him a letter
saying all that. Mr. Duntov complied. Dale has that
letter. I reckon this one would get their attention at
Barrett-Jackson.

Well, it’s nearly the same old Junior Fueler; it won’t
go seven but Harold’s cackling, and it’s got nothing to
do with chickens. Have fun, Fudd. Pics? Story?
***
Don’t like these new bbqs. Look great, too tinny.
They’re a propane company conspiracy. Shiny (at
first), sheet metal heat deflector, no rocks, no thermal
retention, and go through a tank of propane quicker
than Kenny Gilmour uses a tube of Brylcreem. I’m
getting a Hibachi and some Kingfords.
***
Any of you famous old days racers out there who
want a feature like the one we did on Geoff Carr (he’s
working on a Will Ferrell movie deal), just cough up
five hundred bucks like Geoffy did and send us the
stuff. And like him, you’ll be legendary.

People are strange, some folks curling up their hair,
other folks straightening it down; everybody changing
colour. Pretty good for the hair business I guess.

I didn’t enjoy Alderman Druh Farrell’s Bow Flow deal
that closed the south lanes of Memorial Drive through
Sunnyside on a Sunday afternoon in August.
Frustrated traffic backed up for miles while the
Sunnyside Druh-ids, with faces painted like clowns,
danced around beating on plastic pails and chanting
like fools. Next year I’m packing a lance.

Good country line:
“It’s cheap but it ain’t free.”

Do you gang up with a group for club meetings,
coffee, business or beers? Have you ever tried to
discuss anything? Do you notice how nobody agrees,
even though there’s a strong common thread of
interest? Apiarist terminology for this is “fecking”, or
beak-fighting. Argument is the human form of it.
***
Great duster line:
“You aren’t even a gentleman.”
“No sir, but I’m a damn good shot.”

We were honoured to receive our dear late friend
Thomas Legg’s beloved banjo. Following his recent
passing his wife Audrey handed it to us. Shirl’s been
finger picking scales for a spell, progressing. Now I
call her ‘irl.
***
In the June issue of Kruisin’ News I said that Guitar
Boogie Shuffle was never played by anybody named
Wolfgang. Thinking it over, Wolfgang played it for
sure, but likely on the harpsichord after a hard day of
heavy composing for the king; a little wine and
boogie-woogie.

***
The best drag racing flathead of all time for me was
Jack Chrisman’s nitro-burning ’29 A tudor: 114 mph,
1952. Pinstriped grille insert, Von Dutch?
I think the Chrisman family still has this car.
Jack’s nephew Art Chrisman put a 354 Hemi in it
some years back.

This year summer was late, winter was early; I hate it

Bob Dylan’s putting out a Christmas album; reckon I’ll

Changing toilet seats is my kind of handyman job: no
instructions, can’t go wrong, fits good, colour
matches. Reminds me, once following a paint
mismatch job, Guy Tofsrud said white was the
hardest colour to match. So Albert, how do all these
rumble seats get it right? Hope he’s listening.
***
Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the
radio, Garth Brooks announces his comeback. I’m
digging out my Cream albums.
***
Straightened out the Merc’s erratic fuel gauge. At half
a tank the needle would wave like Wes’s fly rod. The
sender connection was shorting out on a box brace.
Pondered a bit. I could grind out the brace or use a
sheet of rubber, but I took a look, backed off the
mounting bolts a half-inch, slid underneath, reached
up, took hold, and reefed it down. Stewart Warner’s
speaking English again. I deserve a pop.

New research says juggling grows brain cells. If

Jerry Lee Lewis sang about a Crown Victoria custom

Big thanks to Prez Doug for the fine hotrod video,
great tunes too. And thanks to my good Foothills
friends for the long-sleeved T.

One of the best old days Disney adventure series
was The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh with Patrick
McGoohan as the Scarecrow. A Scarlet Pimpernel
style character who, with his ragged band of rebels,
saved England from England.
***
“Ed Stelmach has no idea what is about to hit him.”
New Wildrose party leader Danielle Smith’s winning
remark reminds me of the New York bagel boy who
came to Calgary 10 years ago and said, “Some of
these Tim Hortons’ better start worrying.” Now you
can’t find him or a bagel.
***
Johnny Cash’s gritty tunes and stark appearance
created the character of a prophet. He took it pretty
serious later in life. Many of the reformed find this
path. True religion, maybe.

Got a good Del Lloyd grin when I stood up and said,
“I’m taking my ponies for a run.”
“Where ya going, Billy?”
“Out where the wind’s blowing.”
Smiles. Zoom.

A lot of good times are gone, but a lot of them aren’t.
***
A day with my dogs, flat top, and rigs, is luxury to me.
These days I’m basking, working a few days too
whenever somebody goes into rehab, generally on
Mondays.
***
What’s the difference between walking your dogs
three times a day, and not? If you walk, you can
scoop the poop off somebody else’s lawn. But, either
way . . .

A married couple is driving along a highway
doing a steady 60 miles per hour. The wife is
behind the wheel. Her husband suddenly
looks across at her and speaks in a clear
voice. 'I know we've been married for twenty
years but I want a divorce.'
The wife says nothing, keeps looking at the
road ahead but slowly increases her speed to
65 mph. The husband speaks again. 'I don't
want you to try and talk me out of it,' he says,
'because I've been having an affair with your
best friend, and she's a far better lover than
you are.'
Again the wife stays quiet, but grips the
steering wheel more tightly and slowly
increases the speed to 75 . He pushes his
luck. 'I want the house,' he says insistently.
Up to 80. 'I want the car, too,' he continues.
85 mph. 'And,' he says, 'I'll have the bank
accounts, all the credit cards and the boat!'
The car slowly starts veering towards a
massive concrete bridge. This makes him
nervous, so he asks her, 'Isn't there anything
you want?'
The wife at last replies in a quiet and
controlled voice.
'No, I've got everything I need,' she says.
'Oh, really,' he inquires, 'so what have you
got?'
Just before they slam into the wall at 85 mph,
the wife turns to him and smiles.
'The airbag.'

Don Keith – ’39 Chev coupe
***
November 2: A&W Foothills coffee rap. This is one of
those smaller group deals we talked about, all old car
guys, no racers or cops. Randy Rollo – ’27 T coach;
Dougie Z – ’30 A roadster; Don Keith – ’39 Chev
coupe, new, Midnight Blue; Dougie McD – blown
Chev ’28 A sedan delivery; Al H. - good ’29 A coupe,
partly blue; Leo – deuce coupe, ’57 Bird, ’37 Ford
truck, handsome, healthy, rich, smart (Leo, sorry if
I’ve missed anything). Hey, do you sharpen skates?
***
Our shop workbench is a prized old piece. Shirlee’s
dad built it for me as a stereo stand in the early ‘70s.
Since ’85 it’s done shop duty, decked by the original
single garage solid wood door. Thanks, Mr. Smith.
Thanks, Gene.
***
On the Road update. Not so many squirrely
Saskatchewan drivers around these days. Some
fitting in, some got homesick, rest of them at the
football game I guess.

Unless there’s a specific destination, like Hudson’s
Hope, the River, Hinton, a writer gig somewhere, we
do most of our camping close to town: Black
Diamond, High River, Claresholm, Big Valley. Pretty
good family circle . . .
Daddy cracks a pop, Momma cooks dinner
Lucy n’ Little Charlie just dig right in there.

Nice hospitality and good old style Foothills fun at
Pat’s and Mike’s garage warmer Sat. Nov. 7, down in
Acadia (next stop Texas). Hotrod folks, fun, and fine
food; a few pops too. Good chats with Al A., Lee M.,
Leo H., Mike M., Jack K., all car stuff. Nice to see
Don Ungar. I left a lot of rubber on the road with
these folks in 20 years. Thanks Pat and Mike, and all
the Foothills hands for this fun time.

In South Los Angeles, a fourplex was destroyed
by a fire.
A Nigerian family of six con artists lived on the
first floor, and all six died in the fire.
An Islamic group of seven welfare cheats, all
illegally in the country from Kenya, lived on the
second floor, and they, too, all perished in the
fire.
Six LA, Hispanic, Gang Banger, ex-cons, lived on
the 3rd floor and they too, died.
A lone, white couple lived on the top floor. The
couple survived the fire,
Jesse Jackson, John Burris and Al Sharpton were
furious. They flew into LA, met with the fire
chief, on camera. They loudly demanded to know
why the Blacks, Black Muslims and Hispanics all
died in the fire and only the white couple lived.
The fire chief replied, "They were at work."
***
Foothills supper meeting, Nov. 7. Jack Kerrison
cleaned up the Swiss steak special; I settled for a
cheese sandwich. Good chat with Trevor Landage; a
couple of free beers will do that. He’s working up his
daddy Jack’s ’46 Merc business coupe, 114, and,
respecting Pop’s dream, is putting a 354 hemi in it,
Zephyr gears, good axles. The ‘55 Chrysler engine
was originally six volts, positive ground, same as the
flathead, and crafty Trevor is going to utilize the stock
Merc wiring harness. He wants to run to The River
this year; that coupe would knock ‘em out, man. Be
sure to take the sprint car too, because you might
deal Bob Cantin out of his land, home, and ’57
Telecaster with it.

Wildlife report: Saw a “V” formation of geese and

Betcha there’s more to it. I reckon that long

I don’t get it: The speed equipment on my rigs reads
like a Who’s Who list to me, yet others say I’m one

I sure like the ’51 Merc replica chromies and ’48 Merc

Geez, it seems like just the other day I was cruising
my ’40 coupe up and down alleys in northeast

A woman was in town on a shopping trip. She
began her day finding the most perfect shoes in
the first shop and a beautiful dress on sale in the
second.
In the third, everything had just been reduced by
50 percent when her mobile phone rang.
It was a female doctor notifying her that her
husband had just been in a terrible car accident
and was in critical condition in the ICU. The
woman told the doctor to inform her husband
where she was and that she’d be there as soon
as possible. As she hung up she realized she
was leaving what
was shaping up to be her best day ever in the
boutiques.
She decided to get in a couple of more shops
before heading to the hospital. She ended up
shopping the rest of the morning, finishing her
trip with a cup of coffee and a beautiful chocolate
cake slice, compliments of the last
shop. She was jubilant. Then she remembered
her husband.
Feeling guilty, she dashed to the hospital. She
saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about
her husband’s condition.
The lady doctor glared at her and shouted, ‘You
went ahead and finished your shopping trip,
didn’t you! I hope you’re proud of yourself! While
you were out for the past four hours enjoying
yourself in town, your husband has been
languishing in the Intensive Care Unit! It’s just as
well you went ahead and finished, because it will
more than likely be the last shopping trip you
ever take! For the rest of his life he will require
round-the-clock care. And he will now be your
career!’
The woman was feeling so guilty, she broke
down and sobbed.
The lady doctor then chuckled and said, ‘I’m just
pulling your leg. He’s dead. Show me what you
bought.’

Ever try Paul Newman’s salad dressing? Twice the

What was it that changed hotrods into streetrods
loaded with options like luxury cars? Was it the fact
that we aged and desired the comfort, or had too

As if California didn’t have enough trouble – rain,
fires, no rain, too many people, not enough water, air,
space, electrical power, jobs – now they’ve got a new
problem. Ten million hotrodders are yanking out their
Chev engines, putting back flatheads, hemis, 312s,
nailheads and the like. Now the ditches are filling up
with orange small block Chev engines. Motorists
report them rolling off the back of trucks, seeing them
pushed off cliffs, dropped off piers, dump bins are full
of them, they’re finding them in black garbage bags,
and they’re even turning up in blue recycle bins.
Governor Arnie is speechless, he can’t pronounce
orange.

In passing, Reverend Ron Predika, 20 year host of
CJSW blues program (6:30, Wednesdays). I
remember when he took the show over from John
Rutherford. At first he seemed worried about filling
JR’s spot. I phoned in and told him to forget about
John Rutherford because he was doing fine, and just
play lots of “T Bone” Walker. Over the years he made
the show his own, with plenty of Reverend Ron
character, and a few times on later programs when
he’d spin a “T Bone” tune, he’d say, “I know this
guy’s listening.”
Thanks, Reverend Ron. RIP it up.

Alberta Health Care “may” cut 1,000 jobs to balance
the budget. Calgary city managers might consider
this concept. I mean, who needs all those aldermen,

stupid. And, while we’re at it, stop giving away those
dorky white hats. There’s a start.

My Foothills cruising buddy Gary told me his best

car just hauls like it should.”

Canadian Street Rod Hall of Fame, Shop
Tours
Mike Siewert
On October 3, 2009 Don Siewert was inducted into
the Canadian Street Rod Hall of Fame at a Gala
evening held in Waterdown, Ontario. The day prior
to his induction, Don was treated to a Shop Tour
hosted by Southern Ontario Rodders and Rod
Shops.
Our first stop was at the home of Gary Weldon and
the “Worlds Fastest Nailhead in a ’32 Ford”
Gary’s shop exudes charm, right down to his “daily”
ford parked out back. The coffee and donuts were
ready to go and were consumed with a generous
amount of bench racing.
Don, Andy Soutar, Marty de Graauw, Bill Merkley
(back), Gary Weldon, Rob Siewert
We’ve visited with Gary many times on the salt, it
was a special treat to visit him in his home and shop
where #261 shares space with Gary’s turbo Ford
sedan.

After a great visit at Gary Weldon’s we went next
door to Gary Thompson’s
Don and Gary discuss rust repairs on early Porsches
Alongside the Porsche a T coupe gets a full reworking
Most equipment in Garry’s shop is Home Built, and
his own projects are tucked out of the way to make
room for “paying work”
Garry is hand forming this ’32 ford from Aluminium
Garry, Bill Merkley, Don Siewert and Rob Siewert
Next Stop Welders Series (www.welderseries.com)
Don, Andy Soutar and Paul Horton
The Hortons (Paul, DW and Dorothy) treated us to a
great lunch featuring local produced sausage.

Next door to Welders Series was our next stop
Webber Chassis (www.webberchassis.com)
Next Stop Lowdown Hot Rod & Race Car Fabricating
The front room houses the Junior Dragsters Tom
built for his kids as well as many displays of past
projects
This ’48 Ford is getting a very special treatment at
Lowdown (www.lowdownhotrods.com)
Don, Tom VanDerGeld, and Andy Soutar

Our day of touring ended with a visit to the display
room and shop area of Legendary Motorcar
(www.legendarymotorcar.com)
Home of Dream car Garage

Foothills Kruizin' 17
Legendary Motorcar is also the present home of the
Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame (www.cmhf.ca),
where the Canadian Street Rodding Hall of Fame
trophy is displayed.
The trophy was out of its case having Don’s name
added. It will return here after the induction
ceremony.
This winter the Canadian Motorsport Hall Of Fame
will be moving to its new home in Downsview
Ontario.
