Yes i am still in good shape too, not like when i was in my 20's, but still healthy. I lost a buddy and fellow car guy to heart issues a week ago. He was 56, made me think a bit.

Stuff like that sucks doesn't it and the thing is that the older we get the more often stuff like that happens. Usually if it is not the heart that gets you, it`s cancer.

by Grumpy427 Mon Mar 02, 2015 8:48 am

Yes unfortunately its one or the other?

Good morning all. I have been at work for almost 2 hours, it's a sunny day and life is good.

Doesn't that sound better than, "It snowed again last night". LOL

Good Morning, lets move on to a happier subject, like a bright sunshine!, a bit windy though. Southern plans are brewing for the wife and I which will be my retirement and birthday gift. A hell of a good idea I think.

Yeah Jack the snow thing can get boring and a few other choice words for it, so Good morning to you, which part are you going to shovel next or have you done enough for now? bounce

By the way when are you guys heading down south?

Good day all, was making a few phone calls to get some prices on an interior kit for my car. Going to have to do some saving before moving forward on it. Stuff is a little pricey so I'm going to figure adding customs and duties to it so I don't come up short. Now it's time to walk the dog.

by Grumpy427 Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:29 am

We have a few good upolstery shops here run by some Vietnamese people, They do amazing work. I imagine the factory formed seat covers are not cheap. When i had my camaro seats done, the fellow was a retired RCMP and he did great work out of his garage. I went with black vinyl and a grey cloth insert. they looked great he also stitched denim to the bottom of the vinyl and then put the hog rings through the denim not the vinyl.

My daughter is going to Vegas, the end of April, maybe I'll look into sending everything to her hotel and she can figure out how to get it home. Probably beat the customs that way.

by Grumpy427 Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:43 am

There is a bar 2 hrs away from us here just over the border. Guys send all kinds of stuff there, then go over and bring it back themselves. But the bad thing is its not secure so anybody could walk off with your stuff.

Just picked up a 70 V code six pack Cuda from the media blasters...was hoping to get it home BEFORE the frickin snow started again Evil or Very Mad

Looks clean, it can't be a Canadian car, I don't see any huge holes.

by Grumpy427 Tue Mar 03, 2015 10:04 am

Very nice start to a great car.

by anlauto Tue Mar 03, 2015 12:25 pm

It is actually a CDN car. http://www.alangallantautomotiverestoration.com/B54406CUDA.html Owner lives in Winnipeg Manitoba, but thinks the car sold in in Toronto area, maybe Quebec.
The VIN is not listed in ON after 1976.

WOW, very clean for a CDN car. Must have spent a lot of time in storage. Or maybe it had to much power and didn't see many winters.

Heading to Cocoa Beach at the end of the month. We have a condo right on the beach for 2 weeks of warm sun and beer on the beach. It looks like I will be meeting up with Frankie, from FABO, on the way down. We have talked a few times and would like to meet each other in person.

Sounds like fun on the way.

Good morning all. The weather sucs. Here at work and bored out of my mind. Otherwise, life is good!

by JGL Wed Mar 04, 2015 6:54 am

I answered Jack and I forgot to say "GOOD MORNING". Not sunny here but clouds will be leaving soon. We are in the plusses today for a change, no precipitation in the forecast for the rest of the week which is kind of a different thing for the last while.
Have a good day.

Good morning guys, nice and sunny in Calgary and a high of 3 but cool right now at -14. I'm changing out a 2000 ford Ranger diff today, the spider gear pin shaft tried to leave the case... It was hard to find a 2wd diff at the auto wreckers most of those trucks are 4wd.
