1 REBELS AUTO CLUB NEWSLETTER JUNE 2013 President s Message Hello Fellow Rebels, spring finally showed up and the car shows are in full speed. What a great turn out we had for the Hot rod Nationals in spite of the weather. We had several members brave the rain and cool temps but as usual, the Rebels came out in force. Thanks to all those that came out, it was a fun time and as always, great people. We are starting to wind up our show for June 23 rd and things are looking good so far. We still need people to come out and volunteer to help. As always we need many members to show up and work the show so it will be a great success. It's the members that make the show great and I would like to thank all those that have been working behind the scenes to make this happen. The past years we have grown in size of our show, not only the participants but also the spectators. We have a golf cart an a mule that we use for the show for running back and forth and delivering water to volunteers and running the elderly back and forth. Please do not bring your own personal carts as we need to limit this to the ones we use for the club and not personal use. If you feel you need to bring one please contact me prior to the show. It gets pretty full in spots and don t need several carts running around the show. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. We have several events coming up in the next few months so please read your newsletter often as it has all the details on the where and when of what s happening. We will be assembling trophies this coming weekend so please show up to help put them together. The more people that show up the faster it will get done. Next months meeting is a week early and is a potluck at Pioneers Park for the final walk through for the show. We are also having a registration meeting for the program and a meeting with the judge and parking leaders so look for that in the newsletter also.

7 by Jim Jensen THIS MONTH WE HIGHLIGHT OUR REBELS MEMBER ROGER SCHWAB AND HIS 1964 MALIBU IN ROGERS WORDS: My son (Roger II) had bought the car from Gary Gross in the late 80 s. We got pictures of the car showing a frame off restoration. It was painted blue. He owned it a few years and then got married. The transmission went bad and wouldn t shift into drive, so he decided to sell it for $2,000 and put the money down on a house. My wife (Pat) wanted me to buy the car. I liked Impalas, not Chevelles. I ended up going to Roger saying I would buy it for $2,000. He said Oh no dad for you its $3,000 plus giving him a 1979 Monte Carlo. First thing I did was to have it towed to get the transmission fixed. Used the car for work for 6 years and in 1998 decided to have it painted at Crash Busters. Tim Swanson was in charge of the body work. Pat and I went to look at it all apart and she said why don t we finish it and I said good idea. We then went to Lincoln Auto Upholstery to do the interior. In 1998 and 1999 we were in the Rebels Auto Club and drove the car in the Star City Parade. Pat and I would wake up at 5am to decorate the car to drive to the parade. KOLN-KGIN, channels 10 and 11, Filmed the decoration on the front of the car as it passed by. The rear quarter chrome on both fenders wasn t right and it took a couple years to find replacements, one in Kansas and one in Wisconsin. I put a crate 350 engine in I added chrome to the engine and air conditioning later. I put an electric fan in to make it run cooler. After that I had Kevin at Auto Kraft Upholstery put headrests in and fix the springs in the seats. Through the years Glen Shoemaker at Duteau s did body work and painting on the car. I ve taken the car to car shows around Lincoln and on Tour Nebraska. Went to Iowa in 2008 and Back to the 50 s last year. We enjoy the car and drive it whenever we can. I entered the car at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, NE in 2011, 2012 and Also in Duteau s show room.
