Men's Breakfast planned for this Saturday CENTRALIA — When one thinks about a Sebring car, the Chrysler Corporation's current model comes to mind. Not so in 1982 when a Bremen, Indiana company was selling their Sebring fibreglass bodied kit cars that were designed to bolt to Porsche running gear. Sylvester Grimminck, near Woodham, bought such a kit in 1986, but he didn't use a Porsche engine or transmission True to Sylvester's way of thinking, the body shape didn't suit him either, so major body sculpturing was undertaken and molds were built. Using door skin plywood and dense blue Styrofoam, a new shape was devel- oped for the lower body panel, front grill and bumper, air scoops for the mid -mounted engine, rear spoiler and bumper To prevent the fibreglass resin from sticking to the Styrofoam, many coats of latex paint were used as coating, the plywood joints were filled with drywall plaster and the wood sur- face was painted and waxed. All this mold work was covered with many layers of fibreglass mat and resin to build up strength. With the body and frame completed, a 1974 Chevrolet engine with five - speed standard transmis- sion was installed. The kit didn't have a specific dashboard, so one was built by Sylvester to house the necessary gauges. The speedometer and tachometer were automo- tive types, and the oil pres- sure, water temperature and battery charger were from a White tractor. A special gauge was needed to display the air pressure in the air ride suspension system. The donor car for the compressor and air tank, etc., was a Continental built by Ford. The air tank was located in the rear trunk area of the Sebring. When at rest, the car settles down and is only 44 inches high. There are some unique features on this car. The fact that it is basically a home -built unit is one unique feature. Another is what you don't see — doors. How do you get into this neat white two- seater? There are no door handles, but there is a key which when inserted, Denfield Livestock Market Report for Tues., March 4.

There is no dainty way of sitting on the seat and swinging in your legs here. You have to step over about eight inches of body that is not very high because the body of the car is nearly on the ground. Once the car opens up to receive its occupants, you see a racing car style of seat with racing car restraint belt ... another wow factor! The monthly "We Care" Men's Charity Breakfast is this Saturday at the Malibu Restaurant south of Exeter at 8:30 a.m. These meetings are all about sharing. Sylvester has shared his story of a design and building process. We all enjoy a good breakfast and share our abundance for the Canadian Food Grains Bank. After break- fast, we share stories of our faith journey, and this month we plan to discuss what the Biblical story of the Rapture is all about.
