TECH SESSION at Jeff Lumbard Workshop by Rod Richert
On Saturday, March 15th, MAHC members and guests saw and heard the best of Jeff Lumbard's steel
fabrication experience. Jeff says that his restoration planning involves balancing time required vs. cost.
It's sometimes best to buy a reproduction part instead of investing hours or days refurbishing the
original. Steel seat bases were given as an example.
Skill in welding is a key. Toll Gas & Welding Supply offer classroom and hands-on classes at 3005
Niagara Lane, Plymouth, MN 55447. Contact Thea Bunde at (763)551-5308 or email:thea@tollgas.com.
Jeff buys his sheet metal stock from the unheated storage bins at Garelick Steel. It's self-serve, but Dan
Powell agrees with Jeff that a little kindness toward the young workers there will reap benefits.
A few tips: Have a variety of grinders of different grits ready to save time.
Wear PPD's--eye protection and respirator.
For templates, Jeff tapes together file folders.
All the wiser: Wayne Soderbeck, Tom Moerke, Chuck Norton, Don Heath, Ron Corazzo, Herb Miller, Dan
Powell, Mike Martin, Randy Byboth, Larry Nimmerfroh, Rod Richert, Dave Lee and guests Dennis and Paul
Karlstad.
Congratulations Randy
Healey club member Randy Byboth's car was featured in the vintage racer section of
The 2008 Twin Cities Auto Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
The car is a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite MKII in full race prep. It
boasts 110hp out of a performance enhanced 1275CC engine that originally
didn't make 50hp in stock configuration. Randy has made MANY performance
enhancements to the drivetrain as well as the suspension.IX

The VP REPORT by Rod Richert
Barb Ronning says that the Mathew's know how to pick their days for the wine and cheese party--"It always seems to be
sunny!" Two dozen club members and guests looked out over the snowy slopes of Theodore Wirth Park and sampled
over a dozen wines, many more cheeses and a variety of savoy goodies including Curt Carlson's marinated garlic cloves.
Photo albums of Mike and Gloria Lynch's South American trip, Barb and Gary Ronning's days in Mazatlan and polished
aluminum components of Dick Mathew's latest Jaguar masterpiece shared the table with Curt's printout of the State of
Minnesota's collector plate regulations. In attendance and not already mentioned: Tom and June Moerke, Steve Rixen
and Kim Kiser, Rich and Liz Stadther. Chuck and Jean Norton, Mike Martin, Jan Huston, Wayne Soderbeck, Larry
Nimmerfroh, Sherry Wilkening, Jim and Rose Klein, Ron Corazzo, Mark and Lisa Swan, Lisa Mathews and Darrell Pearson.
Rendezvous '08 in Pinawa, Manitoba is about 1/4 full with Tom and June Moerke being the 24th confirmed reservation.
Reservation and room questions are being fielded by Ann Blonski at (204)883-2215 or annmark@mts.net or general
Rendezvous questions by Graeme Lowden at (204)757-7043 or lowden@highspeedcrow.ca
Concerns were voiced about border ID requirements upon return to the U.S. and Canadian computer searches of visitor's
driving histories. As of January 31, 2008, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol website states that the transition to the
Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Secure Document Implementation will occur no earlier than June 1st 2009. Single
document (passport) or dual document (driver's license and birth certificate) identification suffice. But stay tuned and
check periodically at <www.cbp.gov.travel.state.gov> Also check KNOW BEFORE YOU GO at that same site for product
regulations and restrictions.
Rumors of decades old DUI convictions resulting in denial of entry into Canada will be explore in next month's V.P.
report.
Correction: In the first paragraph of the March V.P. report, the '62 Chevy Bel Air is painted a '75 BMW red.

This 3 BR 3 Bath 2400 square foot easy access Home was built in late 1999 on 3.3 ± acres in Hudson
Township. Zoning as Rural-Residential means the land is as flexible as the open floor plans of the house and
shop. The location a few miles outside the city of Hudson gives you the quality and feel of the country and
access to the best benefits of the Cities.
Built as a retirement home, there are no steps required to access the house or shop. The floor plan lends itself
to flexibility through a 600 SF ‘bonus’ portion of the house being utilized as an entertainment area, an office, a
studio, guest suite or in-law’s apartment.
Features include multi-zoned in-floor natural gas hot water heat, whole house heat-exchange Van-E ventilation
system and central air conditioning, central vacuum, easy access laundry, birch built-ins, living area vaulted
ceilings, large, open kitchen areas with external exit high capacity stove fans, natural finish ceiling height birch
cabinets and generous birch front pantry, Fiber-Optic cable TV service to house and shop and RJ-45 8 wire
computer hub connectivity is provided throughout the house and shop.
There are 3 generous attached garage spaces attached to the house, a double which is fully insulated and
equipped with a heater as well as a direct entry bathroom for use as a mud / clean-up room, and a large
separate single garage accessed through the bonus living area.
Meadow and wild flowers cover much of the generous lot which has an insulated garden shed equipped with its
own deck and adjacent garden and planting areas.
Bring your hobbies or business to the 40 X 72 foot with 10’ walls (40 X 48 insulated and heated) shop which has
an 8 foot door double garage door, 2 post automotive lift, (12’ raised ceiling area) 6 HP air compressor, 220 V
electrical service, office area, cabinets and shelves.
House has its own well and septic system. Koi pond, (no Koi or other fish), fire pit and enclosed patio currently
exist.
Optional, negotiable items may include all appliances, washer and dryer, some furniture, recently purchased 23
HP, 46 inch deck Husquvarna lawn tractor, Dodge ¾ ton pick-up with new 88 inch snow plow, hand and power
tools and, possibly, a British Car project of your choice, (limited to those on hand).
Contact Steven Rixen, 612-877-1938 to arrange a viewing, advise, consult, discuss animals, options, BS, talk
cars, airplanes, or negotiate shop use, LBC project and / or the asking price of $339,445.49 (Appraised at
$389,900 when refinanced for a lower rate last June)
There are times when I am in the classroom, sometimes in a distant time zone with my cell phone off, so leave
a message and / or contact me at; scrixen@gmail.com .
Why am I selling? It was our dream home and I am alone here now, working, traveling for weeks at a time and
can’t justify my rattling around in all this space when I am here, trying to keep up with the snow, the grass, the
yard work.
It should be your dream home. Let’s talk.
