“ Ya Gotta know where to Go….The FUN Starts Here….” looking forward to meeting some new people

2019 New Years Resolutions...

There is no specific plan, I’ll see what each day has to offer and where it wants to take me and maximize each one.

Welcome to 2019 gearheads! I hope your transition from 2018 to 2019 was smooth.

I had a pretty good 2018, but I am planning on a better 2019. More fun...more hot rods...more of life too.

With the New Year comes all the hoopla about make resolutions to do this or that or whatever. Been there, done that, didn't keep them...oh well. How about you, are you jumping on the resolution bandwagon in 2019.

I am going to go to some different car shows and cruise-in’s. I am going to go to my favorites again too, because they are what makes me smile too.

Maybe it comes with age and some gray hairs, but that isn’t important to me anymore. I don’t need a resolution to lose weight, my Dr stays on my ass about that. Get more exercise, my Dr stays on my ass about that. Eat healthier...yep my Dr stays on my ass about that too. Just so you know I really like my family Dr...great guy and excellent Dr too.

I am looking forward to meeting some new people and some new friendships along the path in 2019 too. People are what makes this old rock spin around the sun everyday.

I am not giving up on technology or social media, but I do plan on cutting back on texting and emails and dialing peoples numbers and TALKING TO THEM more. It’s a lot more fun that way too as I can hear your laugh and not just read LOL.

The thing that I have decided to focus on more in 2019 is LIFE. Yep Life but like this...

That’s what I am doing for 2019.

You’re invited to come along and join in the fun.

Live It

Live It Fully Everyday

The McMullen Roadster Heads to Auction!

January 12th...Kissimmee Florida is the place to be to see the Iconic McMullen Roadster hit the auction block at the Mecum Kissimmee Auction. The auction runs from January 3-12, but it’s our understanding that this iconic roadster will actually be sold on the 12th.

This will be the 2nd time the car is sold at auction. It was sold in 2012 at auction then.

The flamed roadster which was originally bought by Tom McMullen in 1958 as a hot rod at the time, served both as Tom’ daily driver and very strong performer on the drag strip, on the salt at Bonneville, at El Mirage and on the streets of Southern California too.

Flames by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, American Mags, white upholstery, it is one of the most recognizable hot rods in hot roddding history.

Along with the McMullen Roadster, there will be many hot rods and customs among the 3,500 cars that will offered for sale. Just to name a few that will also be there, the Richard Graves’ recreation of Sam Hollingsworth's Nomad, the “FoMoCo Freighter” ’37 Ford pickup, and a pair of custom Corvettes that came straight from the GM Design Studio for Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell.

Visit mecum.com for more information, to learn how to bid or check the live television broadcast schedule, or to page through the eye-popping array of rods, customs, muscle cars and exotics slated for auction.

When you mention Chicago, it brings to mind many things. Cold weather and snow in the in the winter, the CUBS, Chicago style hot dogs and real deep dish pizza too. All of these are true of the Windy City’s heritage and culture. There’s one more that we think HAS TO BE included when you talk about Chicago.

50 years, but the World of Wheels just gets better every year.

For full disclosure purposes, while it called the Chicago World of Wheels, these days it has moved to the Donald Stephens Conventions Center in Rosemont IL, just over the city border. Let us add that we think this move was and still is a very good one for both participants and show goers too. Great facility that is much easier to get in and out of for everyone.

The Chicago World of Wheels Show.

Yep...you have to. It's been a part of the Chicago area and the Midwest for over 50 plus years. There’s a lot that has come and gone in the Windy City over

14

We attend a lot of shows all year long and this one is one of favorite and a must attend each year. If you have never been or it’s been more than a couple of years since you have attended the Chicago WOW show, get there!

The Chicago WOW show is actually many shows under one roof. You have the full blown ISCA show going on.

Chicago is now the home for the ISCA Grand Finale Championship. The men and women who have competed all year long in the points battle, and who have risen to the top in each of their respective classes, come to the Chicago World OF Wheels / ISCA Grand Finale to see who is crowned Grand Champion. All of these awesome vehicles are set up in the middle of the event on the main floor, as they should be.

The Legend Cup competition is a unique to Chicago event. To compete for the Legend Cup, the vehicle has to be shown for the first time at this event. It may have been shown at other events, but it has to be the first time in Chicago.

This award is very much sought after by many. Detroit Great eight vehicles, RIDLER winners and AMBR winners have traveled to and competed for the LEGEND cup in past years. The competition sees 3 parts. First the TOP TWENTY are selected on Friday of the show. When the TOP Twenty arrive on Saturday morning, they find out who the Legend Cup judges has narrowed down to the 15

SELECT 6. Sunday at the award ceremony sees the LEGEND CUP winner announced. See our 2018 LEGEND CUP coverage in our March 15th Issue.

TIN CITY is always fun with traditional hot rod sand customs shown with out barriers and stanchions. Add in some great live Rockabilly music, a pin up contest and all kinds of great vendors and this part of the show is definitely have a GREAT time.

The motorcycle show with in the Chicago World of Wheels is huge. Name a class of bike and its there. Baggers, choppers, old school, now school, high tech or old tech it’s all on display in its 16

own area.

One of the great things taking place all weekend long is the Chicago Brushmasters Charity Auction. Hundreds of artists, pinstripers and helpers get together to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House of Chicago. The pieces and collectibles offered for auction and given from the heart of these men and women is the best we have seen anywhere.

Add in special guest appearances by many TV and Racing legends and Icons, TUNER day on Saturday upstairs and over 700 cool cars trucks and bikes and you can see why we saw this is a cant miss show.

Mark your calendar for March 8-10 to the 2019 Chicago World of Wheels...you will be glad you saved the dates. We’ll see you there too!

FOR SALE: One Well Used and Speed Proven Wind Tunnel. Who doesn’t need a bit more shaving on the old laminar flow? Not you? Well, how about that hot rod racer down the lane who might have a genuine use for it? No? Think of what great gift this would make to your local university and you’d have a stellar write-off! Originally built by a guy out of sheer curiosity about how aero stuff works and had the spare change to do it really right.

Life has downshifted and the spot he had the tunnel installed is no longer available. This tunnel has improved the speeds and records of several dozen land speed cars including George Poteet’s Speed Demon that lays down wicked quick 400+MPH runs on the Bonneville Salt Flats. It is a first-class system with operational credibility and plenty of cheerful grateful testimonials. But wait, there’s more! The owner/builder/operator will put the thing back into full operational form so how can you resist a turn-key deal? Do your diligence and you will quickly realize there is more than a million invested. That’s a whole lotta McKinley's ($500), Cleveland's ($1,000), Madison's ($5,000), and Chase's ($10,000) beside the Franklin’s and Grants.

The tunnel is an open circuit, Eiffel style. It was professionally designed and calibrated. Test results show repeatable numbers with less than 1% deviation between runs. The wind tunnel began construction in 2010.

It took approx. 4800 man-hours to complete over a two+ year period not including building construction or the pit under the test section of the tunnel. The tunnel is 100' long and 20'+ high at the inlet end. The test section is shaped and approx. 9'-4" high in the center and 13'-6" wide, and 50' long. The three fans are built by Howden and are 150 HP each, 460V, and are 6' in diameter. The fans are controlled by a Mitsubishi Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) with remote controller in the control room. The fans pull air through the test section then the air recirculates in the room. Wind speed in the tunnel varies from about 10mph to 80mph depending on the desired speed and the shape and size of the test object. Test object should not exceed 25 sq. ft. in frontal area for most accurate test results. This is the size of a full size car. The VFD has incremental speed control for accurate airflow around the test object. Under the floor of the test section is a pit which houses the balance. The pit is accessible by a staircase opposite the control room. The balance is a large space frame and is mounted to Honeywell load cells which are designed to hold up to a 10,000 lb. vehicle. There are seven load cells which measure lift, drag, and side forces. All forces are calculated and recorded in an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet displays coefficients for all six forces and moments. It also calculates all forces in Drag HP, Drag LBs, Total Lift, Lift Front and Rear LBs, and Side LBs, all at a customer selected mph. There is also a bicycle balance for testing cyclists and equipment. This balance was used to test 2000 elite cyclists. Airflow is measured by 3 pitot tubes in the inlet and 2 static ports in the aft portion of the test section which feed to a pressure transducer panel.

Air turbulence is eliminated by a 3" thick aluminum honeycomb panel in the fore part of the test section. Plastic netting was added for better control. Vehicles enter the tunnel through a hinged door in the aft of the tunnel next to the fans.

The current room dimensions are 49' wide, 140' long, and 35' high. A lower ceiling will be acceptable.

Included in the sale: Complete wind tunnel structure from the inlet to the fan diffusers. Mitsubishi VFD. Balance with load cells and complete wiring to the control room. Bicycle balance platform with Computrainer installed. Ski Jumper beam. A large variety of car mounting stands. Complete computer system with Windows OS. Data Acquisition System including 13 pressure channels with pressure taps to the pit. Aerolab smoke generator wand. The buyer will be responsible for the building and the balance pit, all of which will be dimensionally specified in the sale. At an additional cost, I can assemble everything on the new site for a "turn key" operation including training of new operator. The complete wind tunnel will be broken down and palletized to ship. Reconstruction will take approx. 2-3 months when the building is ready. The electrical wiring of the fans and control room will have to be done professionally on site.. Approximate cost to construct in 2010, not including the building or pit: $400,000 package cost for design plans, computer hardware, software, Data Acquisitions System, bicycle balance, smoke wand. 115,000 fans with inlet bells. 30,000 VFD . 80,000 materials. 210,000 building preparation including the pit and electrical. 230,000 labor.
