How much do you enjoy your job, again? Or, if you go on holiday and get sick of Disney World, head on up the highway to Ocala. I must admit it did look a little misplaced being from Uncle Sam, with all the other metal on show from the much closer Deutschland, but being an American fanatic I was pleasantly surprised to see it all the same.

Strangely enough, after a bit of detective work it turned out that the truck belongs to Pete Senneck, the man in charge of organising the Dub event, which I guess made it ok to mix with the rest of the line-up. A couple of weeks later I headed off to see Pete at his place to find out a. Strange for a Dub fan, I thought! Apparently his first attempt at customising was a roof chop on a Sunbeam Rapier which upset the previous owner as it had always been kept in pristine condition before Pete got his hands on it.

After going up through the ranks of other hot rod mods, he then went on to the usual vehicles of that time such as Capris, Escorts with Jag back. Then came the VW scene, a stint with scooters and eventually he tried a bit of drag building. You may have heard of Split Decision? Around four years ago, he decided to have another go at the American scene, and came across a Chevy COE truck on eBay.

After contacting the owner and asking a few questions, he duly paid a deposit and that weekend set off on the long drive down to Christchurch where it had been standing for quite some time. As it turned out, the owner had not quite got the description right, as it was pretty much a pile of scrap with wheels. A bit miffed but not easily deterred, Pete enquired about a Chevy Bel Air stood in the driveway behind the truck, and decided to do a deal with that instead. Well, it was better than a wasted journey.

The owner again told Pete it was all good and was in use as a daily driver. When he got back home and took a closer look it was, again, not quite as good as the description given. The floor was half missing and crudely replaced with fibreglass and after driving it for a short while the engine started to run like a bag of spanners. After spending a few days sorting the Pete found the truck advertised on the net, for sale in a field somewhere in the wilderness of Arkansas, USA.

After many emails and phone calls over a short period of time, a deal was made and the task of getting the truck to the UK began. Pete had arranged with a chap he knows to import it for him but on the way to the port the transporter they had hired broke down, leaving the Ford stranded on the side of the highway.

It was to be another four days before it could be. First impressions were all good and most of it seemed ok. It would appear the F6 was originally bought by the Coca Cola Company due to the originality of the all-over red paintwork, including under the bonnet and front wings.

Pete decided he wanted to keep all this and got a chap called Seaside Neil to come over and re-sign write letters, and then rub the new paint down to. The chassis looks as though it had been modified too, as it has been lowered and the centre shaped out, probably to take more crates.

Getting the truck how Pete wanted it was not going to be an easy task. The first thing he had to do was build a gantry system so he could remove the cab from the chassis, and after a little welding and a lot of swearing a suitable lift gear was in place and the work began. Next came the suspension. This was kindly donated by a Chevy C30 with a bit of cutting and welding and a few better-chosen swear words.

With these in place it was time to give it a motor, which is a Chevy small block coupled up to a TH auto box from a big block that had been lying around the yard. It became apparent when putting the cab back that it was going to be very difficult to work on the mechanical bits underneath, as things were a little tight. To get around this, Pete came up with the idea of making the cab tilt backwards; a bit like the reverse of a flat-nose big rig, I guess.

The beaver tail is also removable which is handy for shows and general driving about. She was in charge of rubbing down the paintwork with some grit paper so the rusty bits were smooth enough for Pete to paint the cab with clear-coat two-pack lacquer.

As for driving the F6 around, Pete says it goes really well. Oh, and maybe a diesel V8. Everything has its price, says Pete, and if someone comes up with a good offer, who knows? COM Kent Untitled-1 1.

The green shoots of the new season sprout at Autosport International. Held in four of the giant NEC halls, this event is all about motorsport and nothing else, and despite snow coming down outside, it was hot inside. The American side of things was rather under-represented, but those who were representing certainly took up the slack. Lucas Oil and Santa Pod shared a stand back-to-back, Santa Pod showing their fuel funny and non-stop drags videos on a huge screen.

Lucas Oil, meanwhile, used the show as an opportunity to unveil the handsome Definitely one to watch this coming season. Nearby was the Serck Motorsport stand, showing off not only their range of cooling products and services, and their status as newly-appointed official Auto Meter dealer, but also the breathtaking Mental Breakdown, a crazy alliance of VW bus and 1,bhp rail that had the punters in awe. Well worth a look The indoor event fills all the halls at the cityowned exhibition centre and brings in millions of Euros to the local economy thanks to a full calendar of exhibitions; none of which, however, are as big or attracts the sheer number of people.

Attendance at the most recent was ,plus and the organisers are now pondering exactly what to showcase for the golden anniversary affair scheduled for the next December.

I have to say the screech of tyres and smell of burnt rubber seems highly addictive to. Passenger rides are also offered, the queue for which can at times be rather too lengthy Two halls were given over to customised vehicles and the pair were both packed at the weekends which, incidentally, is when it can become difficult to navigate the aisles due to the heaving mass of humanity that rolls up to check out the offerings.

It also seems that some canny showgoers deliberately leave matters until the final day to snap up bargain-priced merchandise that vendors traditionally mark down rather than having to haul away a surfeit of goods when the facility closes in the late afternoon. There may not have been an overabundance of American automobiles present, but with quality rather than quantity being the order of the day it.

Hayling Reunion. Pod, Northants, rwyb. All the details for buyers and sellers is on the NSRA website. Northants, rwyb. Chevrolet Camaro, For 35 years, Chevrolet's F-body Camaro had led the resistance against Ford's Mustang in the pony car wars.

Consequently, many were surprised when it celebrated its 35th birthday in by being cancelled There was a long hiatus, in the middle of which Ford pulled a master stroke with their new S Mustang, a car that really harked back to the model's styling and ethos at the height of the muscle car era. Shortly afterwards came the Dodge Challenger, and there was Chevy on the side-lines For a couple of years, beginning in January , GM had been touting a 'concept' version of a possible new Camaro, based on Holden's Zeta platform.

Response was so positive that just a few months later, GM announced that it would go into production within two years as a model. In the end, it began production in Oshawa, Canada, in early as a model. On each there was an optional RS appearance package, and the Camaro's launch coincided with the new Transformers movie, in which it had a starring role, so there were limited edition Transformers packages, too.

The fifth-gen Camaro was an instant success, with dealers selling them faster than they could get them, often above sticker price. Late in the model year, a convertible was added to the range, followed a year later by 45th Anniversary editions and the mighty supercharged ZL1 with bhp.

The 1LE track-ready performance package was added in , followed by a front and rear facelift for along with a rebirth of the Z28 package. Production was wound down after the models, ready for the all-new sixth-gen model for The fifth-gen Camaro was born into a country just about to dip into the most crippling recession in living memory, yet it not only survived but thrived. Over its seven-year life, it sold almost , examples and really lit a fire underneath the performance Chevy faithful.

So, is it a modern muscle classic or a load of trouble waiting to happen? We asked Trevor Cowell and Paul Robins. Check tyre wear, as this could be an alignment issue — they need four-wheel alignment, and the front suspension doesn't have much adjustment unless you use camber-adjusting bolts. The peasant models have a cloth interior and not much going on in the way of extras. Be wary of a car with basic cloth interior and high mileage — it may have been a hire car.

The SS has all-leather. A heads-up display was optional from Otherwise, they're pretty much the same as a US Camaro. All the windows are shallow and these rear windows are tiny, plus they have a black surround inside so they're actually even smaller than they appear! The V8 seems to be a simpler motor, strong with no noises or rattles, and lasts longer, so there's no real reason to pick a V6. I find that people who do buy the V6 usually end up wishing they'd bought the V8.

We give each car an oil service every four or five months, and use quality oils and filters, and we've never had any major problems. The only issue we've had was with the V6 needing a new vacuum pump, but we got the part from a local supplier and it was two bolts and a wire to change.

Access is pretty easy. The clutch shares the fluid from the brake reservoir but clutch dust can get into the slave cylinder and contaminate the fluid, plus it gets very hot and the pedal gets spongy.

You can get a separate reservoir and a stainless braided clutch pipe. Modified engines won't get long out of a stock clutch. We've just fitted a six-paddle clutch, that should last Check the side repeaters, too, as many were fitted into the door mirror housing and once they got damp, they failed. The boot has quite a small opening, but the boot itself is pretty big. The space-saver spare wouldn't fit over the Brembo brakes anyway.

The V8s also have the battery in the boot. Once you start modifying for more power, they'll be too weak — you'll find the stock rear end isn't up to it. We fitted a set of cheaper pads once and they really weren't up to the job. The fly-by-wire throttle won't give you wide-open throttle until 4,rpm; a remap can cure that, and can also sharpen up the shifts on automatics. Next, you'd need aftermarket rear arms to stop the axle tramp. Some parts can be very pricey, so don't go to GM UK for parts; it's cheaper to get genuine parts from GM in America and ship them over.

There are lots of aftermarket parts for these, though; all you could imagine. They're pretty industrial — we've been hiring them out for two and a half years and we've never had any major problems that can't be attributed to driver error or abuse. They're certainly daily drivable. You can hardly throw a rod bolt without hitting a book about them. Fortunately, there are people out there digging into the lesser-known and less widelyremembered aspects of American classic motoring, such as this chap.

Mark James's passion lies with Studebakers, and specifically the post-bulletnose, pre-Lark period of the Fifties, when the swooping Hawk range ruled the roost. Sadly, they were born into a period when the megalithic Big Three were crushing everything in their path to seven-digit sales, and to a company that was struggling to keep afloat, never mind fully develop and market their cars. Can you imagine a '58 Golden. Hawk convertible? It would have knocked a big dent into the Thunderbird This beautiful, wide-format hardback finally does justice to this all but forgotten independent.

It's well printed on quality paper stock — so even the book itself has the feel of a Fifties Stude! But it's the story that gives the book its real quality, thanks to James being able to couple a real passion for the subject with an articulate and warm readability.

It's not a vast tome — it's fewer than pages — but there's plenty to absorb. Way too little has been committed to print about these beautiful cars, but James's book puts a big credit in the ledger. I reckon most of us dream of that lottery-win workshop with every tool and device we could ever need; perhaps some of you are lucky enough to be able to indulge this fantasy, but if you have all the gear and no idea, you've just spent a lot of money on some garage ornaments.

No matter what branch of fabrication or repair you're considering, there's almost certain to be a good book about it, usually from a publishing house like CarTech. Here are three examples. Of the three, the one with probably the most limited market is Power Hammers, subtitled 'The ultimate sheet metal working tool'.

They're probably right, and this book details the equipment and its use in making bespoke bodywork from steel or aluminium. For this sort of work, most of us would go for the comparatively-silent English wheel, but the power hammer is an option, and part of this book follows metalworking students making new panels for the likes of million-dollar Ferraris and Cobras. It's readable, almost entertaining, and the information could be invaluable.

I didn't expect much from the Media Blasting title, but was. The science was accessible, the methods clearly explained, and the photography clear and informative.

I learned a lot from this, even though I have no intention of buying blasting equipment; you might, too. The Weld Like a Pro book was something of a disappointment. It's a reissue of a previous title, Advanced Automotive Welding, and I'd advise beginners and garage tinkerers to look elsewhere.

It covers MIG, TIG, arc and gas welding, which is a lot for one title, and I found the science to be impenetrable and the diagrams either confusing or useless. I'd really hoped that this book would improve my frankly risible MIG skills, but all I got from it was a headache. More advanced welders might find this book to be a beacon of information, but I certainly didn't.

Barron Publishing Co. This new book not only highlights the Golden Hawks of through , it also unfolds the history surrounding the. Before I did that, though, there was one job I was really not looking forward to that led directly to a job I was rather looking forward to: I.

I started by bolting on a pair of wheels 1 , any old wheels will do. Once both are adjusted up, you can then adjust the handbrake which, in this case, is done by tightening the nut on the operating rod at the base of the handbrake 4. For this, you need an assistant to turn the wheels while you tighten the nut until they feel resistance, then back it off a. Pull the handbrake lever, and it should only need to come up two or three clicks before the rear wheels are locked. It's a hell of a faff, requiring much back-and-forth, and it will have to be done again once the new brakes have bedded in, but it's another job off the list 5.

Then I could just pop the new rubber bungs in the holes in the backplate 6 , ACM. It also freed up a pair of axle stands, which I needed along with a big dose of that enthusiasm to get outside and.

Most of the major plumbing, cabling and wiring had already been disconnected, but it's always worth going around again to spot tricky little items such as this earth strap hiding down low on the bulkhead 9. There was also a vacuum pipe leading from the intake manifold. The main pipe is secured with one of those crimped bands, and the only easy way to successfully remove it is to cut the crimp I then disconnected the loom to the distributor 12 and removed the two main wiring loom connections at the rear of the.

Then I gave the engine mount bolts a good dose of penetrating oil 14 before shuffling the donor car around until it was nose-first into the workshop.

Once in position and ready to go, I threaded two straps — old seat belts, in this case; I trust my life to them, I'll certainly trust an engine to them — around the block and up to a Sealey loadleveller Then I discovered that the legs on the engine crane are too deep to go under the front chin spoiler 16 so I needed to jack the car up a touch. I've often wondered about engine lifting equipment. Even so, it all adds to the total lift required.

In this case, the crane jib had to be at maximum extension and possibly above SWL for the reach required, and was almost touching the ceiling before the engine cleared the slam panel In retrospect, I wish I'd removed those trans cooler pipes first. They're a pain to unbolt from the trans and block, but they really got in the way while hoisting. Soon, with surprisingly little fuss and bother, the motor and 'box were out and on the floor Now it was a lot easier to remove those transmission cooler pipes 22 , and did I get a shock when I removed the starter motor!

Look at the state of it 23! I'm surprised it still worked Removing the little inspectionhatch cover at the bottom of the bellhousing 24 lets you see the nuts that hold the torque. You can see them through the starter motor hole, but you can't get a socket onto them properly, so go through the hatch beneath. With an old torque wrench holding the 24mm lower pulley bolt still 29 I was able to crack the six bolts holding the flexplate to the crank These s are externally balanced, and there's a.

Converters are bloody heavy, and shouldn't just be left to hang on the input shaft, so I knocked in a little metal wedge to take the weight on the. In the town nearest my workshop, I have a go-to place for fasteners. Nuts, bolts, bearings, tools, they've always been helpful. I was shocked when they said they didn't have them, and that as they were selling out of old imperial sizes, they weren't re-ordering.

The other nearby fasteners supplier I spoke to said the same. What is the world coming to?! I began hunting around the workshop for some bolts, and after an hour of fruitless search, I came across the old cylinder head bolts from the aborted Pontiac V6 project from years ago. This is why I never throw anything away. Brilliant, now the auto gearbox is safely tucked away, the engine is ready to go on the stand 34 ,.

In the meantime, I can also address the issue of hundreds of cherry pips that appear to have been transported from the nearby cherry tree to the space under the intake plenum, presumably by some pesky critter As long as the varmint has been chewing cherry pips and not my wiring, I'll get over it New Projects Absolutely nothing. Instinctively I stuck my head outside and, yes, it was indeed the Camaro, so I disarmed and armed the alarm again in the hope that it might sort itself out but, unfortunately, that was wishful thinking on my part.

I decided to unlock the car on the fob to disarm the alarm and then simply locked the doors manually for the time being. That only gave the CTEK charger about six hours to work its magic, plugging it in as I did early on a Saturday afternoon, but as all I wanted was enough battery power to keep the alarm happy and enough to actually be able to start the Camaro that week as I vowed to take it into work, I figured that should be enough charging time.

The LS1 was famously underrated by Chevrolet, with claimed power figures ranging from hp in my Z28 to hp and later hp in the C5 Corvette, but the general consensus is that all LS1s make about the same power.

Curious to see what my Camaro was making, I started looking for somewhere that had a dyno in my. Over in the States the dyno most commonly used by owners for power runs is the Dynojet, but it also has a reputation for being a little bit generous with its power readings, whereas something like the Dyno Dynamics dyno, widely regarded as one of the most accurate dynos about, is often called the heartbreaker dyno on the forums as it most definitely keeps things real where numbers are concerned, so that was my dyno of choice for figuring the Camaro.

The guys wasted no time in strapping the Camaro onto the dyno and, after ensuring all was well, went for the power run. The Magnaflow exhaust certainly sounded great but it was the numbers I was really interested in and I waited with baited breath for the dyno printout.

The end result? Just to remind you, either way, this delightful Dodge last graced these pages quite a few years ago, as it went through a useful transformation as the Eibach demo car.

Back then it had a plethora of excellent suspension and tuning upgrades, culminating in a custommade Milltek exhaust that would make most NASCAR drivers quake with terror… All in all, it was the epitome of the tasteful muscle car ride, and gave great service over many shows, trips and outings.

Not a lot for a chassised motor. Part of the reason that the car never gets used is the suspension. The Eibach kit was set low in period, and has since settled even lower, making the car look absolutely wonderful, but. Great for the stance kids out there, but simply terrible for daily driving. Being coilovers, it should be easy to re-set the spring platforms a little higher and return the car, but sadly, despite never having seen so much as a grain of salt in their.

Maximum coolness — minimum practicality. This got me to thinking that the sensible thing to do would be an uprated set of suspension — and then that got me thinking about all the other things I might like to change,.

Indeed, the shapely appeal of the Dodge was brought into a focus after a phone call from my good friend, Mark Docherty, at royal-warranted polish-meisters, Autoglym. The marketing team there needed a photo-model for their next product shoot - an all-new product that should have just hit the stores by the time you read this — so they asked me if I could spare the old girl for a day while they washed her repeatedly with their clever new UHD shampoo.

The stereo, for example. And then there are the wheels. There are a myriad of other, smaller, details that I would like to upgrade as well; the orange side marker lights, some of the interior details, the tired-looking brakes, and maybe even the seats themselves.

In short, there are a lot of little things happening to this car over the next few months, and understandably, our illustrious Ed. Certainly a treat for the eyes and the nose, then!

It was clear that this stuff really foams up nicely, as well. Thankfully, the guys had let me keep a couple of bottles from the shoot for my washday regime so I should be able to repeat the experience for weeks to come. What was great to see at the shoot, though, was that such a well-known British brand can see the value in using American metal in its point of sale material.

Surely that can only be good for the scene as a whole, if you can walk into your local Halfords. Join me next month when I will be sorting the suspension — and who knows?

Until then! Brandon, our new apprentice, has started stripping and cleaning the heads. A few of the exhaust studs had snapped but they have been drilled and re-. We have now committed to working late every Friday until the engine is built.

Between Christmas and New Year, I fired the Duster up and took it to the garage to yet again change the exhaust! Those stainless Bullets were far too raspy, so I have fitted the Magnaflow. That said, I think I am now at a point in my life where I am determined the Duster deserves better than an exhaust I have made up from straights and bends,.

I would have a listen to his motor and help him diagnose a possible misfire at idle and low down, so we fired it up one cold, damp winter afternoon and took it out on the greasy streets of Birmingham. Between us, we could barely detect any misfire; in fact, the engine sounded gorgeous, and even when he found a clear stretch and gave it a kicking, it picked up and shot off without fuss, even though road conditions should have seen us hoofing sideways at the kerb.

Still, it was a nice ride out, and now I have a T5 to get on with! So, having looked all over the UK and even tentatively in the States, I find one 20 miles from my house and at a more than reasonable price. Part of the deal was that. A carb spacer is a quick, simple job that can lead to better performance and easier hot-starting. Spacer Cadets A carb spacer is the simplest idea around.

It improves airflow velocity, but, more importantly, it serves to help insulate the carburettor from the hot intake manifold. Wacky Racers. This is less of an issue with a van, of course, and the factory filter assembly sits quite tall anyway 1. Disconnect the PCV breather from the air filter housing, then unscrew the central wing nut and stud, and lift the lot out of the way. Then unbolt the carburettor — in this case, one of the carb studs holds the bracket for the throttle and.

TV cable 2. A drop of thread-lock is advisable 6 before screwing the studs in again the double-nut method will help — while a good smear of grease on both gaskets will help form an air-tight seal, and ensure that they come apart without ripping should you.

Then this van was treated to a new performance chrome air filter to finish off, which rides a lot lower than the factory piece 9. If it had been even a slightly warm day, it would have dried to streaks in a minute, so I'd recommend a lot more water. Other than that, it cleaned the car, rinsed easily, and left it looking as presentable as I could hope for. By the time I'd finished, though, a dense fog had dropped and the car was filthy again within three miles — hey ho.

These little one-shot sachets are handy to have around, anyway, and could be worth adding to the cleaning kit in your boot for a show field wash-and-brush-up.

Just remember to take more water with it During summer and the show season, it's all well and good using your specialist, expensive car washing gear to bring your car up to a glorious shine. This PowerMaxed product does just that. During the grim, grey period between Christmas and New Year, I thought I'd better address the daily Jap barge, because it had a crust of salt rarely seen outside the rim of a tequila shot glass, and the headlamp output had been reduced from 'marginal' to 'like a lit fart in a jar'.

I only had one complaint to make and it concerned the instructions, which told me to bung the contents in a bucket and add five litres of warm water. This is way too strong a concentration, and.

Coil springs: they're not to be dicked about with. Ask anyone who's worked with a compressed coil spring that's suddenly become unexpectedly uncompressed. You don't know the meaning of sphinctertwitching fear unless you've heard a spring compressor slipping on the spring.

That's what I had here,. This is a Sealey kit for safely compressing coil springs internally, as commonly found on cars with A-arm front suspension or large rear trailing arms.

There are two pairs of yokes — one pair for up to mm diameter springs, and one pair for up to mm springs. You seat the. It's a good, heavy-duty kit that looks like it could take some abuse and put up with daily trade use, and it's damn near impossible for a spring to slip out of the compressor. It comes with two drivers, including a nice. So why couldn't I use it? Because the front springs on my Fox Mustang are five inches in diameter — slightly too big for the small yokes, while the large yokes were too big to sit comfortably in the coils.

Definitely the right tool for the job, but sadly not this particular job. Conventional wisdom says that setting the cam to run advanced will move the power band DOWN the rev range, and setting it retarded will move the power band UP the rev range. Instead, he described a few better uses for this adjustability. There are other methods of introducing adjustability. Turn the crank until 1 piston is at top dead centre on its firing stroke, with both valves closed.

At this point, on piston 6, the valves should be. If track days are more important to you — and if you have a capable Corvette or similar, why not? Our columnist, Alex Peters, runs his blown sprint Mustang on these and swears by them, and as they've recently expanded their range of sizes, there's likely to be one to suit you.

They're also road-legal, unlike many 'track day tyres' on the market. Get the Full SP A Holley Dominator sitting atop a V8 means business on the strip, but the new range of Dominator Sportsman SP carbs means just as much business on high-horsepower street or bracket cars, and at a more affordable price. The CNC-machined aluminium SP body is based on the Gen 3 Ultra Dominator, but slightly taller to allow those lovely smooth-radius entries to each barrel that improve throttle response, while the metering blocks are billet.

The list of tunability features is long and complex, yet both the 1,cfm and 1,cfm versions are almost 4lb lighter than the original Dominators. Check them out at www. This is especially valid for cars that are stored over winter, as temperature swings can accelerate the damage, plus ethanol is hydroscopic and in winter there's more moisture in the air There's also a Race Concentrate version for those whose engines run on methanol, E85 or oxygenated race fuels, that cleans and protects the whole system, and contains an upper cylinder lubricant too.

You can even get Carb Defender in little sachets for use in smallengined garden machinery and similar that usually get laid up over winter! There's also a Driven kit with an oil additive and a fuel additive, both containing corrosion inhibitors and anti-oxidants. Make an Impact Electric cordless impact drivers have come a long way in recent years, and have become pretty indispensable — from roadside emergencies, to changing your slicks for treads, to winding the legs on your caravan in seconds at shows, they're everywhere.

And why not? Look at the latest from Clarke, the CIWLi, a 12v reversible wrench with a halfinch square drive that delivers up to Nm more than ft. Launching your S Mustang hard is no use unless you're also launching straight. BMR Suspension's Xtreme anti-roll bar can help you out there. Mount Pleasant The Camaros and Firebirds use a massive front subframe that looks like half a chassis, but after 40 years of torque and moisture attack, chances are that the body mount brackets have seen better days.

Made from thick-wall 1. Couple one of these with a rod-end adjustable upper control arm on models and you've got a rear end you can dial in to really dig in. This will help sharpen up the handling, but why not couple it with a set of UMI's new non-adjustable monotube shocks for second-gens?

UMI developed the valving with a medium-firm compression curve and ramped-up rebound curve to provide a quality feel and enjoyable ride.

Gas pressure prevents fade, and heavy-duty stock-location mounts can take the abuse.

Add in upgraded suspension and modern, sticky rubber and the chances are that a sharp left-hander will see you in your passenger's lap. These low-back sports seats feature hip and thigh bolstering to keep your posterior perfectly positioned in the twisty bits, but the black vinyl is OEM-style Madrid grain vinyl like GM used in the Sixties.

The county took core samples of County Road 33 through Lamy in late January and are waiting for final road test results from an independent engineering firm in Santa Fe.

Lamy residents oppose the oil offloading plan for several reasons, including the impacts of half a dozen tanker trucks on the two-lane, recently repaved county road that is the only way in and out of town. Oklahoma-based Pacer Energy Marketing signed a lease to use a railroad spur in Lamy owned by Santa Fe Southern Railway to offload crude oil to train tanker cars. The crude oil will be shipped by rail to refineries elsewhere. The county has little control over the railroad site, but can set vehicle weight and traffic limits to protect the county road.

Santa Fe County Public Works Director Adam Leigland confirmed the county is looking at an ordinance setting weight limits on the road, but the earliest it can be considered by the County Commission is probably in April. The core samples taken on County Road 33 show that the base coarse layer and the upper asphalt layer on the road are thinner than county code requires.

It was given to the county by the state Department of Transportation decades ago. The county is still waiting for results of the road test conducted on the core samples to know the maximum weight and traffic the road can take before it begins to degrade over time.

Leigland said. Currently, about vehicles a day use the road, he said. Between six and eight Pacer oil tanker trucks a day are expected to use the road once the offload site opens. Depending on the number of axles on a truck and how much it is carrying, the weight of a common tanker truck is between 47, and 72, pounds, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

Currently, Pacer has an oil offload site in Thoreau that handles oil produced in the Four. Corners area, but it needed an alternate site in the state. The Lamy offload depot also is well-situated to handle oil coming from the eastern part of the state such as Union, Harding and San Miguel County, if drilling begins there.

According to police reports, thieves have hit five south-side complexes between Jan. Celina Westervelt, a police department spokeswoman, said officers have confirmed thefts at all the locations, and another may have occurred at the Village Sage Apartments, Larson Loop. According to police reports, the thieves either damage the boxes or fish checks and money orders from the boxes using a stick.

Crystal Sandoval, who lives at the Village Sage Apartments, said someone stole her money order intended for a rent payment.

She said staff at the complex initially said she would have to write another money order to make up for the first one, though she said they reconsidered when they realized that the thefts had occurred at multiple apartment complexes. According to a report, the manager at Bluffs at Tierra Contenta told officers she found a tree branch inside the box and noticed glue on some of the checks.

In an incident report, an officer wrote that the drop box opening was too narrow for an adult arm. She said the alleged thieves likely would face felony larceny or burglary charges.

Regal Entertainment Group confirmed this week that it is considering extending its movie theater lease at DeVargas Center and installing digital equipment so it can screen first-run movies. The number of films released in 35 mm is slowly dwindling, reducing the options for the Regal DeVargas and limiting choices for film fans who live on the north side of the city.

But the film was not available in 35 mm and was screened, instead, at the south-side Regal Stadium 14, which has state-of-the-art projection equipment. In an interview this week, Paul Serwitz, vice president of film for Regal, confirmed the company had planned to end its lease at the north-side mall.

But he said he heard Tuesday that negotiations on extending the lease are underway. Regal might also upgrade the theaters, he said, as well as convert to digital. Serwitz said Regal executives were in Santa Fe this week, checking out the market. Meanwhile, the movie theater scene in Santa Fe is going to get more competitive. It is expected to open by the end of this year. The city has done some preliminary work, he said, including waterproofing the south wall of the underground Railyard parking garage.

Digital projection equipment will be state of the art. DeVargas has about 1, Czoski said the new Violet Crown will show a variety of movies, including blockbusters, if there is demand for that genre. He said the nice thing about digital is that the film arrives on a hard drive and can be shown in different theaters, simultaneously if necessary. Jon Bowman, general manager of the Jean Cocteau Cinema, adjacent to the Railyard, said that for months, rumors were circulating that the Regal DeVargas was closing, but lately those rumors have reversed.

He said the product mix would be similar. Bowman said. Installing digital projection systems is fairly expensive, although bigger chains get deals based on volume. The Regal DeVargas, he pointed out, is one of the few theaters in the Regal circuit that is not digital. Most of the distributors are cutting off printing 35 mm films, he said. Converting to digital, Serwitz said, can be done while the multiplex stays open.

Unless you offer me money. These cats are absolutely adoptable, but they need a little more attention and care. Keller, a 3-year-old tabby, is a perfect example.

Keller was found in the parking lot next to the Sanbusco Market Center. Keller was neutered, fed and brought back to good health. However, upon examination he was found to have feline immunodeficiency virus. FIV is similar to human immunodeficiency virus in that it attacks the immune system and makes the cat more susceptible to secondary infections.

FIV is spread primarily through cat-to-cat bite wounds. FIV is specific only to cats. With all that in place, they can live normal lives. Keller, who apparently is now royalty at Teca Tu while he waits to be permanently adopted, is one cool cat. That is to say that he lords over all the dogs that come into the store and is often found on the counter helping with sales. If you are interested, come on in and see him. Now you might be thinking, so what?

How does adopting one cat solve the larger problem of unwanted cats? A recent study estimated that there are 50 million unwanted or feral cats like Keller. And the number is growing. What about here in Santa Fe? Shine your light around the dumpsters and you will see dozens of pairs of eyes: the feral cats of Santa Fe. But how about right where you live?

Heller tells a story about how she came to this realization. When she was living in Los Angeles, she saw an older woman feeding and caring for a colony of cats near her home. This was the first step in caring, but it also exacerbated the problem. Well-fed cats are going to breed.

Heller took it upon herself to get the cats in that colony neutered and spayed. This, it seems to me, is the kernel of a solution. These are managed colonies, that is to say, someone is feeding and watering the cats. There are no doubt twice as many colonies in all of the city and the county. Want to help? Find a colony, trap, neuter and return the adult cats. Here is the kicker: The Santa Fe animal shelter will loan you the traps, will neu-.

Bodelson, affectionately known as "Bo," a longtime Santa Fe physician who was dedicated to the well-being of countless patients, especially to the thousands of babies he delivered into this world, passed away peacefully at home on February 8, Growing up in the farming community of Dundee, Minnesota, where he was born to Pete and Nettie Bodelson on November 26, , Bo gained a solid work ethic and a practical sensibility that he modeled throughout his life.

He was determined and tireless in his pursuits, and Bo followed his interests throughout life with a passion that led him to the highest levels of excellence. With his only sister Ardee, the family moved to nearby Fulda where he distinguished himself not only as an outstanding student, but as a leader.

Bo was an Eagle Scout, quarterback of his high school football team and ready for any opportunity for fun and adventure. He was a resident fresh out of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine when a dark-haired nurse caught his eye.

After a short romance of just three dates with his beautiful new companion, Corinne Turgeon, he proposed with a twist of three options: forget him, write to him or come with him!

Without Mallett Hammer Corvette 66 hesitation, she chose the latter and their lifelong journey together began. Bo and Corinne were married in Edina, Minnesota on June 21, It was an inspiring and lasting union of over 67 years that was shared lovingly. The Korean War marked their early married life and Dr. He cherished the hours spent flying the skies over New Mexico, often scouting for the next place to hunt or fish. Landing his small plane on a remote stretch of New Mexico highway to visit friends and ride his beloved horses on the Esquibel Ranch, was one of countless joys and outdoor adventures that Bo shared with family and friends over many decades.

From the lakes of Minnesota to Brazil to New Zealand and to Alaska, fishing was his joy throughout life. He especially treasured precious time with his large family. When not "on call" Dr. Bodelson loved spending weekends with his ten children fishing, camping and horseback riding. When all twelve packed in the family bus, summer road trips inevitably led to memorable beach discoveries in California, Florida and Mexico.

It was during medical school that Bo realized his true calling, focusing his efforts on the demands but also the marvel of obstetrics. Adding to his confidence and skill in surgery was an uncommon compassion, rapport and concern for his patients and their families.

A show of hands of people who live in Santa Fe would reveal a startling number who were delivered by Dr. Bodelson and even more who were cared for by "Doc. The family is indebted to Martha, Alvaro, Ingrid, and Rica for their loving and thoughtful care. Whether known as Dr. Bodelson, Bo, Doc, beloved Dad or Papa, his exceptional energy as a physician, and gift for making life an adventure of learning rich with experience to be shared by those he loved, will long be remembered.

He was a lifelong learner filled with a passion for reading. Teaching was a natural extension he shared, whether at the hospital, playing poker or tying flies with grandkids. A private family memorial is planned with a gathering to celebrate his life to be announced at a later date.
