I have a 4 setting flux core Lincoln handy thingamajig myself. It seems to be a great all around handy welder, but doesn't work so well on sheet metal. It tends to blow holes. It splatters a lot too, but it's cheap and easy and works outside. I hope to buy a new Miller gas one, but I might...

I'm in Ottawa and was insured through Silver Wheels with Lant and Co in TO for my '65 Barracuda, not a daily driver though. I won't use them anymore since my accident in 2007 in which they screwed me over. I hear that ING offers classic car insurance and I see someone else mentioned them...

Ya, I was thinking the same thing. A stripped down Valiant with no taillights, grill or trim or interior with a race only /6 would not appeal to me at all except as a race car, but even then I wouldn't want a /6 race car. Just my humble opinion.

Awesome news! It was so much fun eh? I remember calling to my wife from the office every half hour or so "Hey Lisa, we've another $50 pledged!! It's going to happen, we're going to buy this guy a car!!" and she thought it was so cool that we could do this over the 'net and be so self-less...

I just crawled out from under my rock and found this story...cool idea! I hope I'll be able to contribute somehow from up here in Canada! I've been working on a '69 Valiant 2-dr post so I have lots of Valiant stuff laying around, maybe something will be helpful. What size rear end is this...

I'll check out that new thread!

Excellent MeMike! I've been really busy with work and my house and haven't been to FABO lately, so I was wondering how you were making out with the car and everything. I'm so glad to hear it's working for ya and you're enjoying it. Canada's pretty much just like the US, only our cities are...

I haven't been here in a while, busy working. So how's that little Valiant doing MeMike?

The shifter knob in my '65 Barracuda Formula S. I like skulls.

Try $5.00 a gallon here in Canada. I just bought a '65 Dodge A100 with a slant 6, it should do pretty good.

Ya, and electricity is mostly created from burning coal! Only 200 units produced within the next 3 years? $600 a month to lease it? Ouch!

That is kinda cool, lots of good stuff on there from recycling crap to automotive fixes...whatever you want.

The infrastructure to support other fuels isn't there. What I mean is, fueling stations. Only the oil companies have that infrastructure and they are not about to convert all their gas stations to hydrogen filling stations, unless of course they are the ones selling the hydrogen, know what I...

I've read all this and must agree, spontaneous spur of the moment giving is the best way and the car we gave MeMike was a one shot deal. Maybe it'll happen again, maybe not...but I no longer want any official thing.

Fair enough, I like the spontaneous thing too. A new oven?? The Great FABO Oven Giveaway!

There's already offer of a project car if a project is the focus....I think a daily driver is a better choice though.

Well folks, it's a done deal! We did good, didn't we!?? Let's do it again! See this thread -> http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?p=297338#post297338

Well the "Let's buy MeMike a car" worked! We did it!! Who wants to do it again? Maybe an annual thing? Bi-annual? If we created some kind of fund people could give stuff as they can or donate parts or whatever. How we decide on a recipient is a tough question, but we could figure it...

Those of you that didn't get involved, you can get involved in the next one...don't worry.

Excellent. I've been away and just got back, glad to hear the car is where it belongs. I guess I missed something though, how did the car come to be called Victoria?

Wow, that sucks. Keep the faith, things will be okay.

If you look at the other thread, Hawk has pitched in $500 and we've met the goal it looks like!

Woohooo!!!

Mopar3762: MeMike, a Mopar guy had to sell his '63 Valiant to fix up his house. He bought another but before he could even take possession, someone stole it! It's gone! It's a really long story...... Everyone loves MeMike.....so we came up with this plan to buy him a car! A '66 Valiant...

Uhhmmm.....a project car? How are we going to fix up a project car though? We'll need another turn key I think.

haha...funny you should mention that. Today I sped up to get through a yellow light and it turned red just as I entered the intersection. Suddenly I saw a motorcycle cop standing there. He looked at me and kinda raised his eyebrow.....but he didn't motion me to pull over, phew!

I'm proud of you guys, we're doing great here!

I guess we'll just keep bumping it...
