From a member with a credible standing..............

And this is the bullshit part of it all. **** him. Have read many a thread about that name. As many bad as OK. That's enough to tell all he is not worth dealing with.

I'll be happy to be able to make it to the grocery store! It takes 9 seconds just to get out of the car.

Stuff definitely is not made the same anymore! Had a visitor today. :)

Paint imperfections, couple little scratches, a few small rock chips and Uncanny is a prefect driver!

I got too lazy to shift a 4 speed many years, in fact decades, back. Been there, done that. Driving is fun. What were once tickets have turned into suspensions! It ain't what it used to be! But there is nothing like rolling down the road in a classic......whatever you have , and seeing the...

Uncanny has a birth certificate! Not a lot of luxury’s. He was born into a low income family. But they were proud of their new baby and gave him all the love he deserved.

And it still works….. :rofl:

Thanks all. I can't believe how "green" has grown on me! It just looks good. As for the heads, the covers were glued on when they put the engine together! So, I'll wait until the inspection is done, drive it a bit and then maybe yank the covers. For now, I'll be wondering.

I just used this “wafer board” I had kicking around. It’s only 1/8” thick. If I was to go buy some I would probably go thicker. But it feels pretty good.

I had to make a new tire well cover. Fortunately I have a few old ones kicking around for a template. I’m very tempted to pull a valve cover to see what the heads are. With the 340 intake and headers and sure grip, it just kinda make me wonder what is inside.

Latest acquisition, fresh off the trailer........probably a keeper!

I am so impressed by how clean this thing is. I am taking it for inspection this coming Tuesday. Should be registered and insured in my name by Wednesday.

I’m thinkin’ you don’t have a mouse problem.

A lot of cars I have had, I go get a classic plate on so they are registered in my name. The only way this works is if it is still in the system. So this car being alive in Manitoba probably keeps its whole life active. This just got traded with the RT. It has a pink card currently registered...

Now the painful wait until next week when I can get it into the mechanic!

I never considered the curve as I know the blade throws the same flow either direction. But that curve would certainly be more efficient. In the words of an old tool push of mine, “It’s a pretty poor day if you don’t learn something new.” Today is a good day. Thank you once again FABO.

I got a tidbit of history today on the car. I went registries to get the out of province request, and the young lady told me the car was registered in BC until around 86 when it went to Manitoba. She could not give me the data but shared that with me. Gotta love it when car girls work in places...

You fellas are correct. It is frickin solid. Steve it was a 273 originally. But I have a 340 here and know of a 68 340 nearby. I’m going to wait for a bit and see how this 318 is. Maybe it will be just fine for a while.

Slid in from underneath. Certainly not my prettiest welds ever! Because I had a big wind blowing my shielding gas away on me. Had to move the smoke out though I figured. Now the welds look better!

I have to do an out of province on this so I may as well get at it! lol. No. StuBBle is safe! I’ll just make a piece for here out of flat. Off to make a patch.

That makes sense. Then the fact that the rubber creates a Vapor barrier never lets it dry up and it rusts.

Ready for a little POR 15

This is the first time I have been able to use the hoist for work vs storage. I love it!

As expected! I have to use snips to cut this out vs a disc. I’m going to make as little dust as possible here!

Here are a few more shots of various things. I have not removed the back seat to see if it has a broadcast sheet.

Alrighty then. First off, thank you all. I am getting happier each time i look at it. Green is growing on me, as is a happy wife! You know what they say, Happy wife, lots of strife! So the 80's restoration had a couple patches done on the quarters, As far as I can tell with a magnet, they did...

LOL I knew you would like the Green! You and Tom both! Penner's. You know that dealership?

Thanks all. I am quite happy. The lucky thing for me is Green is the wife's favorite color. :) I actually think this is a very nice green.

Engine bay….
