Speaker 3 1:17

Speaker 1 1:23

Who is our guest there ? Mr Morris , you've heard about him .

Speaker 2 1:26

This is the legend , the myth . Mr Don good night and his 30 .

Speaker 1 1:30

Don good night . This is number five , yes , on the roll of the Lone Star Street Rod Association . So what's it like to be involved with this bunch of hoodlums out here for ?

Speaker 4 1:44

48 years . The villain is it good ? Well , i had to take a break in there , you know , to Settle my nerves Is that what it was .

Speaker 1 1:53

Yeah , it's probably had a family thing going on at a time or two . It's a bottle jack Daniels .

Speaker 4 1:58

It's kind of been a lifelong thing . Yep , at 32 Ford right there , i Saw a magazine cover move that microphone a little bit closer to you now . Yeah , microphone cover there . Back in around 1971 .

Speaker 1 2:16

Yeah .

Speaker 4 2:17

Rod and custom magazine Sure , and they had the old McMullen Roadster on it . You know I just kept looking at that car . I've always wanted 32 high boy , Yeah , and finally able to get one Here a few years ago .

Speaker 1 2:30

so So did you buy it ? Is that the way you bought it ? This one I bought , yes , yep , and did you have some ? what did you have prior to this ?

Speaker 4 2:39

Well , i've got a . I've got a 35 Chevrolet right now that I bought also now . When I was young and full of energy , i built Model A's okay .

Speaker 1 2:51

Street Rods and you're hot-rodded model , that's well , yeah .

Speaker 4 2:56

Yeah , he kind of dismisses it like yeah , well , the first one I built didn't have air conditioning in it and Within a year or two I said the next one I built is gonna have air conditioning . Yeah of course . Then I turn around . I've got a Roadster now that doesn't have air conditioning doesn't need it though .

Speaker 4 3:12

What's it ever sweet , a high boy and a low boy . Well , a high boy , Right below that body line . There , that's your frame , And a high boy . They basically say well , you know , the body stays at the same height . Theoretically you could go over there and bolt 32 fenders and everything onto it . Where a low boy ? they actually channel the inside of the body , where it goes down .

Speaker 2 3:38

Drop it on the frame .

Speaker 1 3:39

Drop it on the frame , got you .

Speaker 4 3:41

Loads it several inches .

Speaker 1 3:42

But you know , that seems to me that that could be problematic , because the thing sits pretty low just as it is , right there .

Speaker 4 3:49

Well , yeah , the front axle is about three inches off the ground on this one , so it does set pretty low suspension . All it does is really lower the body , makes it more aerodynamic .

Speaker 1 4:01

So is it got a transverse leaf spring in the front of it .

Speaker 4 4:05

It does . It's got the original style 32 Ford spring in the front .

Speaker 1 4:09

Yeah , how does that drive ? Well , it does handle around the corner with that transverse leaf spring .

Speaker 4 4:17

It actually drives and handles pretty good . Of course , when you've got that set up on the front of an old Ford and they used that set up even through the dual I beams up into the early 50s 50s yes , But it actually drives pretty good . Now it rides kind of like a buggy .

Speaker 1 4:36

Got you , so it's a little stiff .

Speaker 4 4:39

It's a little stiff and you know it's not a comfort ride . Yeah .

Speaker 1 4:45

It's a little bouncy . Now , why about the suspension in the back of it ?

Speaker 4 4:49

It's got a call over springs in the back .

Speaker 1 4:51

Gotcha On a four , nine inch rear , so you're able to adjust those .

Speaker 4 4:55

You can adjust them .

Speaker 1 4:57

But does it make any difference ? Not really .

Speaker 4 5:02

It still rides like a buggy .

Speaker 2 5:03

Yeah , as you say , it's more about style than comfort .

Speaker 4 5:07

That's the thing about a 32 highboy with front end all exposed and everything . Actually that front end is a Pete and Jake's . You know it's all chrome front end . So you know you don't full vendor car . You can go to the Mustang to type front end thing and get a lot better ride . But that type car you really need to stick with the traditional type .

Speaker 1 5:31

Absolutely , absolutely . And what kind of motor you got in there ? It's a Chevrolet 350 , a Chevy 350 and you had no trouble buying a Chevrolet motor in a Ford car .

Speaker 4 5:44

No , i've used both engines in cars and I'm just like most hot rodders are , a little more familiar with the small block Chevrolet .

Speaker 2 5:55

Sure And the availability of parts are far greater than they are .

Speaker 4 6:00

Lot more aftermarket parts and everything .

Speaker 1 6:03

More dependable ? you think , Not necessarily .

Speaker 4 6:07

Probably , not necessarily . Yeah , it's just kind of what you prefer .

Speaker 1 6:10

So you bought it with the Chevy engine in it . Yeah , yeah .

Speaker 4 6:14

This car I actually bought just pretty much as it says .

Speaker 1 6:17

Well , that's beautiful , i wouldn't touch it . Would you ever consider putting a Ford motor in it , just to have a Ford motor in it ?

Speaker 4 6:25

No , I'm getting too old to mess with it .

Speaker 1 6:28

We can relate to that , I promise you .

Speaker 4 6:32

That's like a year . Several years ago . I didn't have an old car at all . At the time I didn't get an old car and told my wife . I said , well , i'm not going to go buy one and build it from the ground up . I said I might not get it finished for a dime , so I'm going to buy something .

Speaker 1 6:53

Yeah , it's close to finished Pretty much close to finished . You wouldn't get a finish if I asked you how old you are .

Speaker 4 6:58

I'm 71 . Okay , not that old yet . I know I'm going downhill fast . No , you're not .

Speaker 1 7:05

No , you're not at all , at all .

Speaker 4 7:07

Sometimes it feels like it .

Speaker 1 7:09

You have other cars as well .

Speaker 4 7:12

The only other car I've got now is a 35 Chevrolet 35 Chevrolet .

Speaker 1 7:15

What do you , what do you use to go back and forth the grocery store ? My pickup , you pick up , and what is that ?

Speaker 4 7:22

Oh , I got . I got a Toyota Tundra pickup .

Speaker 1 7:25

Yeah , built in Texas built in Texas . Yeah , and you're happy with that .

Speaker 2 7:30

Yeah , it's a man , it's air conditions Right , nice , there you go , it's got all the pleasures .

Speaker 4 7:38

Dependable as heck . You know the old car . Yeah , i mean I'd drive them moderately , but they're it's . it is hard to maintain an old car and drive it every day . Oh what You probably heard , the name Scott Ingram .

Speaker 1 7:54

Yes .

Speaker 4 7:55

Scott was one of the original seven known star guys And Scott had a 32 Ford Coupe that I know . For a pretty long time I think he that was his everyday driver . Oh , wow , wow . And you know I had an old one . Well , he had . He had several different Ford engines . He always had a Ford engine in it . But you know you'd see Scott's orange 32 going around And that most of the time it'd be kind of dirty , you know , because he's driving it every day .

Speaker 1 8:25

Now , does he live in the same city as you ?

Speaker 4 8:26

No , he lives in lives in well . He used to live in Austin . He's moved kind of out in the country now . And how about you .

Speaker 1 8:34

Where are you from ?

Speaker 4 8:35

Well , i'm from Temple .

Speaker 1 8:37

Temple pretty much all my life .

Speaker 4 8:39

I actually still live in the Temple City limits right now , but I've got a belt and address Temple and belt and kind of just right grown together .

Speaker 1 8:47

Yeah Well , george Skelton is a temple guy , good friend of ours . I went to a great school in high school with him and and he's in Temple and he's not a car guy at all , but he has a character deluxe . He needs to be in a car club , he would be

Car Chat and Shows

Speaker 1 9:02

the entertainment .

Speaker 4 9:02

Yeah , there you go , there you go .

Speaker 1 9:04

Yeah , there's that , so that's a custom top on there , because it's obviously been chopped .

Speaker 4 9:12

Right .

Speaker 1 9:13

And and I can only imagine , and I know you can too , since you're a car builder they're trying to make the bows to get the top to go up and down on a custom .

Speaker 4 9:26

Well , the one thing about that top it doesn't go up and down It comes off . It's built like the old folding top . Yeah , But it , but it actually . you just unbolt it and take it off .

Speaker 1 9:39

Gotcha . Do you ever do that Occasally ? Yeah , because it's a total pain .

Speaker 4 9:43

I would imagine If you look at me without this cap on yeah there's not a lot of protection from the sun Sun protection .

Speaker 3 9:51

I'm feeling you .

Speaker 4 9:52

I'm feeling you And that sun gets pretty hot on a bare head . Yes , it does Even riding down the road .

Speaker 1 9:58

Well , it's got air conditioning .

Speaker 4 10:00

Yeah , that little flap that opens up there on the cow .

Speaker 1 10:03

Oh , really , that's so . This one does not have air conditioning .

Speaker 4 10:07

No , the 35 Chevrolet's got it , but this one it's got the 100 mile an hour , air conditioning where you open the vent ?

Speaker 1 10:13

Sure , Absolutely . Now did you trailer that car here ?

Speaker 4 10:17

This one I did today , you did , i've got , i've got a need that's really bothering me . It's it really bothers me Get it on the on the put an accelerator in that car . So I've traded it today , but by the fact , that's the first time I've traded it to a car show anywhere .

Speaker 1 10:35

Is it in closed trailer ? Yes , yeah , i was going to say because I had a show car one time that I trailer it on the back of a car carrier and it snowed and rained on the highway And you know what that does . That is not good .

Speaker 4 10:53

It's not good . No , but typically , you know , I was when I was young we drove everywhere , Everything , The first car . I ever built was a 20 , no 1930 model A coupe And I literally got it on the road and from Temple the furthest I'd ever driven it was Waco back and we had several guys around town . Well , let's go . The NSRA Nationals was in Tulsa that year .

Speaker 4 11:26

Yeah , that's a good haul , let's go to Tulsa . You know , and I was about 21 years old Just got it on the road . No paint , barely had gotten the weather Fearless at 21 .

Speaker 2 11:37

Yeah , let's go .

Speaker 4 11:39

So , you know , I jumped in that car Never had been more than 30 miles away from home , took off , went to Tulsa . So you know , and you didn't get arrested Not that time . No , i've never been arrested . Well , that's good , got a few tickets .

Speaker 2 11:58

But just a few Yeah .

Speaker 3 12:00

If you keep hanging out with us today , your options are good .

Speaker 4 12:02

I wasn't in the wrong . You know , I got one speaking ticket that I deserve . The rest of them are just nothing .

Speaker 1 12:08

Do you ever show that car ? Just car shows like this or you don't go to like auto Ram or the dollar . No , no , no , no , no .

Speaker 4 12:17

The big indoor shows .

Speaker 1 12:18

Do you ever , do you ever , go personally to any of those shows ?

Speaker 4 12:22

I have been . I actually haven't been to it , you know , like Dallas , ottawa and stuff like that . I haven't been one of those in pretty long time .

Speaker 1 12:30

Well , it's changed a lot . Oh yeah , as you can imagine , Everything's changed .

Speaker 4 12:34

When I , when I was 50 years ago , when I got in to street riding , you know of course , street rides were a big deal and almost all the everything then was called rod runs and they would typically be two days . Some of them , like when we started on Star Run it was three days . There were a few others that were three days , but you know , people stayed in motels or camped Camp . Camping was popular And now you know it's all the . The bulk of the car show deal nowadays is one day show from cruise in 93 .

Speaker 4 13:14

Sure , yeah , kind of like cruise in .

Speaker 1 13:17

Well , i have to tell you that I was fortunate enough , for the second year in a row , to go on the hot rod tour of Texas . Oh , yeah , yeah . Are you familiar with that ? Are you probably seen posts about it ?

Speaker 1 13:28

I've seen posts yeah , yeah , that starts down in Victoria and then we wind our way up here , as a matter of fact , and great fun , lots of fun , quite a few cars like yours not like yours , but similar Older cars , hot rods and very popular and everybody has such a good time . And , as you know , in this sport , this hobby , whatever you want to call it , that's really the draw is the camaraderie and looking at everybody's car and what they've done to it . Hey , man , did you see the new valve cover gaskets that I put on Since the last time I saw you ?

Speaker 4 14:06

know that kind of stuff . One thing about it these , these car people . There's no strangers .

Speaker 1 14:12

You know there's not .

Speaker 4 14:13

You see , you pull up park somebody you'd never seen before in your life . You know where . You just start up conversation .

Speaker 2 14:18

Absolutely , and the cars are ever evolving over time as well .

Speaker 4 14:22

Yeah .

Speaker 2 14:23

You know , the same person may own the same car and over 10 years it may go through a couple of evolutions .

Speaker 4 14:29

Oh , exactly , and plus you know , 50 years ago you wouldn't believe how many of these old cars were sitting around . Riding in that field , well , everywhere , you know , if you want , if you want to buy a model or anything you know , you got out , drove through the country , you find them Sure . Now the old cars are getting really hard to find .

Speaker 1 14:54

And if you find them , usually they're really expensive .

Speaker 3 15:00

When you're here at the show , do you have your the same spot that you show your vehicle in on the lawn every year ? Do you move it around ? Because I noticed from last year that we're here . Some of these look very familiar in the same spots .

Speaker 4 15:12

Some people try to get here and you know , put up or claim the same area . They kind of stake out an area you know like on Friday evening looking for the shade .

Speaker 1 15:21

Yeah .

Speaker 4 15:22

That's the first spot spills up over here .

Speaker 1 15:24

Yeah , trees , yeah .

Speaker 4 15:26

Well , i have some people move around , it's just whatever .

Speaker 1 15:29

Well , Don , good night . It is a pleasure and an honor to have you here on the show with us today . One of the original members of the Lone Star Street Rod Association and we're glad you with us in that beautiful car And we we salute you , sir .

Speaker 4 15:43

Well , I'm not that active now , but 50 years ago it was , it was something getting sitting here . Have you ever heard of Central Texas Street Rod Association ?

Speaker 1 15:54

I have not heard , but I'm sure that they exist . No they don't exist anymore .

Speaker 4 15:58

But that was

US Foreign Cars

Speaker 4 15:59

. That was kind of a the original deal for the people that got the Lone Star Street Rod Association .

Speaker 3 16:06

Is it catalyst for it ?

Speaker 4 16:08

It was catalyst . All the people lived up and down I-35 . Sure , and we'd we'd been talking about farming . A Central Texas Street Rod Association between the clubs ? Yeah , i-35 . And we've been talking about it together and I think Scott and George Allen from Austin they why we just limited Central Texas won't make it the entire state .

Speaker 4 16:28

So that day we kept up . Ok , so we come up with the Lone Star Street Rod Association And they blossom from there . We set up a meeting at the Capitol grounds in Austin , I think two or three weeks after that .

Speaker 1 16:41

How many different clubs are now a part of the Lone Star Street Rod Association ?

Speaker 4 16:45

Now , oh , I have no , No no , you don't see as many clubs now as you used to . Right , clubs were a big deal .

Speaker 1 16:54

Yes , they were 50 years ago .

Speaker 4 16:56

Now there's still a lot of clubs around , but it's a little more loosely tied . I know they're in Central Texas . We do an email . It's kind of like an email club . Yeah , no club rules , no officers or anything . We just send out emails to keep people up .

Speaker 2 17:11

Yeah , up to date on what's going on and where the events are .

Speaker 1 17:15

Exactly . Well , we would invite you to follow us on Facebook and any other form that you see , and you'll be hearing yourself for some time . this week . Mr Mars does all of our podcasts , and so all of that is part of what we do .

Speaker 4 17:31

I don't know if I want to hear myself .

Speaker 2 17:35

I advise against Don listens to himself all the time .

Speaker 1 17:38

Yeah nah Don good night . Thank you very much , sir Oh .

Speaker 4 17:41

God .

Speaker 1 17:42

Well , there you go .

Speaker 3 17:43

I'm second on that .

Speaker 4 17:45

Good talking to you guys . You too , thank you very much , thank you very much .

Speaker 1 17:48

Hey , you're on the in-wheel time car talk show . Thanks for riding with us today , again broadcasting from the Lone Star Street Rod Association State Run here at the Hewlett Park in Grandbury , texas . Also like to remind you that we'd love to hear from you . All you have to do is just shoot us an email . The address is info at in-wheel timecom Time . now Jeff is going to do the American cars not sold in the USA .

Speaker 3 18:14

I got to reload it , I think .

Speaker 4 18:16

Oh , you do .

Speaker 3 18:17

Wait , no , i got it , you got it .

Speaker 1 18:18

I think I do Okay . Well , that's good He's got well , Yeah , and we're good about that .

Speaker 3 18:23

Okay , so this is . there's a lot . There's like 30 , 35 different models , but they're all from the same manufacturer Chevy for Dodge . So these are a few of these vehicles that are built . Let me see . if I can't get this up going here , there you are . That's the first one we have here is a Dodge GTX V8 . Chrysler Corporation was pretty active in Argentina and it produced several models aimed directly to the local market , but the most significant model and luxurious model offered was the Dodge GT . It's a dark base sedan with better equipment by the famous 225 slant .

Speaker 1 19:00

Oh wow , i did not know that .

Speaker 3 19:02

Yep , the car was introduced in 68 but in 70 . Chrysler Argentina decided to build the proper muscle version of this vehicle and it was the Dodge GTX .

Speaker 1 19:12

And they put a Hemi in it .

Speaker 3 19:13

Well , this one had a 318 V8 which delivered 212 horsepower , or the 230 horsepower depending on the year model that they were producing . So that's one for the Argentina flag . Let's see what's going on . This one here , this rascal , is a Ford RS 200 . Back in the mid 80s , motor sports were all about rallying and famous , terrifyingly dangerous group Bs . Group B was a part of the World Rally Championship , which featured factory prototypes , loosely based on production cars with insane turbocharged engines and all-wheel drive systems .

Speaker 2 19:47

Very loosely based .

Speaker 3 19:49

This brought many exciting and fast-road cars , since the manufacturers are obligated to produce a number of the road vehicles for racing . So that's a pretty good looking little Ford hot rod there . This next one is a good fancy of mine . This is the Chevrolet Opelah SS , not Opel . The Opelah SS is a typical example of a .

Speaker 1 20:11

Brazilian muscle car Chevy produced in the height of the muscle car craze .

Speaker 3 20:15

They introduced this handsome fastback group in 69 . This came with a wide range of formal body stylings , the Chevrolet's main and mid-mile sizes for the Brazilian market And a free can of wax . However , the name Opelah was controversial because customers thought it represented a mix between the names of Opel and Impala , so that's why they were a little confused . Although not much today's standards , it was given the Opelah SS decent performance . Even with its success on the tracks , it did win many races in the Brazilian racing circuit .

Speaker 2 20:48

So there was one of those .

Speaker 3 20:50

Yep , it did .

Speaker 2 20:51

Now , this one's pretty neat . And they worked in the Willy Wonka factory , the Opelahs .

Speaker 3 20:54

This is a Ford Fairmont GT introduced in 1970 . The Fairmont was a full-size sedan designed and constructed by Ford Australia . Their division sold mainly to the South African division . It was basically a version of the Australian Ford Falcon X-Y . The Falcon GT was one of the first and most popular Australian muscle cars , so South African dealers wanted one of their own . That's how the Fairmont GT came to be Powered by Ford's 351 V8 engine , a 300 horsepower , making it one of the fastest and most powerful cars in South Africa . The 0-60 was pretty respectable at 7.2 . And the Fairmont GT was expensive and rare At the time . They only built 1,824 of these rascals , so not many in the production . This one is one of my favorites as well . This is the Chevrolet for a forensic can am one of the craziest , rarest Chevrolet muscle cars is a forensic cans and can am that of my fs and my c's mixed up .

Speaker 3 21:58

Shevery introduced this in 73 . Based on the forensic can am a two door sedan designed from England but they built it again in South Africa , might under the Chevrolet badge . Best thing about it in a five liter Chevy v8 straight out of a z 28 Camaro performance heads close to 400 horsepower , lightweight body 5.4 seconds in the 0 to 60 acceleration , figures close to a Ferrari and Chevrolet . Today the survivors of this are very , very expensive . So there you have the five , built but not sold in America .

Speaker 1 22:34

All right , i'm going to move the car clinic to the next hour , conrad that's okay with you , that's fine . Okay , because I have to get in some of the . We got to get a date , pardon me . We got to get up to date . We got to get up to date on the news , on the news , on the news . You ready , wow , that's a . Is that a 64 impala ? I don't know , but I want it .

Speaker 2 22:56

What did you say A good run . Yeah , it looks like it's got a good rumble to it .

Speaker 1 23:01

Do you ever have problems getting an inspection sticker ?

Speaker 3 23:06

No , should I .

Speaker 2 23:08

No , i mean , you know a couple of shops that hand them out pretty easy Getting getting , getting the car to pass inspection let me put it that way .

Speaker 1 23:14

That could be an issue , okay well , you don't have to worry about it after next year , okay , well , there's a .

Speaker 1 23:21

there's a lot of exhaust going on right now , right here and we're going to talk about this rumble and why that rumble sounds like that In 2025 , state inspection stickers will be replaced by an annual $7.50 fee , the same as the current inspection fee , but without the need to actually take your car for most into the shop . Drivers in new vehicles will not have that have not previously been registered will pay $16.75 upon registration . That money will benefit that , don't Texas Mobility Fund . You gotta be kidding me . Some law enforcement officials oppose the bill in front of the state senate affairs committee during the legislative session , arguing annual inspections protect the public from dangerous vehicles . Oh no , owners of auto shops are expressed have expressed concerns . the lack of an annual requirement would close their businesses . Yes , some it would .

Speaker 2 24:12

Well and they've all made investments in the equipment to do state inspections , and now that's all going to be flushed down the toilet .

Speaker 1 24:20

Texans living in the most populated counties , however , will still have to appear annually for an emissions test . The 17 counties that require emissions inspections include those surrounding the major metro areas other than San Antonio . Harris Fort Bend , brasoria , montgomery , galveston , among others , are the counties that will still have you still have to ?

Speaker 2 24:43

yeah , and pretty much all they do is plug into your uh . OVD computer communication .

Speaker 1 24:51

OV1 plug . I want to kind of get it to another story here . I've got several and I want to make sure that I get this .

Speaker 2 25:02

Oh , it's all about you , john .

Speaker 1 25:03

It is . It's always all about me , thank you .

Speaker 2 25:06

We recognize that .

Speaker 1 25:08

I know Well once the center of American life AM radio stands in the middle of a tussle between the automakers who want it gone and federal lawmakers who say it's key for emergency alerts during catastrophes .

Speaker 2 25:20

Because so many people listen to it .

Speaker 1 25:22

BMW , mazda , polestar , rivian , tesla , volkswagen , volvo do not offer broadcast AM radio in their electric vehicles , citing the EV's motors electronic electromagnetic interference with the AM system and a resulting ticking sound . Oh , About a third of all new EV models available for purchase in the US in 23 are not equipped with AM tuners , according to SBD Automotive Global Automotive Technology Research Firm .
