Good morning boys, not much on the plate today.
Think I need to check out my house furnace and clean it before winter, so might do that today.

Will a 1966 Polara door fit a 1966 Sattelite ? I know the body lines are different but that is no concearn

Drizzle, but no sizzle, in my area

Depends how big a hammer you have.

It would be for a derby car. We found a stripped Satellite 1 hour 45 minutes away that is missing a drivers door also

Working on that 63 Fury today and did some sandblasting on the rockers. Left side is almost ready for Epoxy primer.
Had to cut the edge of the deck lid off about a 1/16 of an inch and weld it back up. New 1/4 panels wasn't set right so I had no choice.
I didn't install the 1/4's but the guy that did seemed to do a good job, just a bit tight on the left side. coated and blocked with bondo because of all the small dents and ripples and now is straight. Hell of a lot of work for this old man but I'm trying to do the best I can.

Better than new with the quality work you are doing

Thanks CF, this is getting a 426 wedge and a 4 speed and is getting painted black. My name will be on it and I want it to look good.

Black is a hard colour to get to look good. From what I know it shows everything

Yes it does and that's why I'm being picky.
IDK Murray if I can pull it off or not, I guess time will tell.

That's what I was thinking you were going to put it on. Doesn't matter what it looks like, just as long as it fills up the opening and keeps the driver safe.

My wife and I went to the Sunday cruise at the Pony Corral in Winnipeg this afternoon, met up with Murray and his wife Kim. Had a good chat over a cold beer before checking out the cars, and I also met up with another member here Muswagon with his 71 Duster 440 4 speed. Added bonus; a couple other Alberta members were there along with one of the ultra rare 72 Dart Swinger Special 340 cars, this one is a 4 speed. These cars were only sold in Canada, and only available from 3 dealers, Crosstown Motors in Edmonton Alberta, Pembina Dodge in Winnipeg, and one other dealer in Regina Saskatchewan. There is a website dedicated to these cars and they have been featured in Mopar magazines.

Lots of great cars there today, even came across a beautiful 1970 Nova that I was sure I had worked with the guy that built it 45 years ago. The more I looked it over the more I was sure. I asked who owned it, turned out I was right, the car now belongs to the son, his dad gave it to him a couple years ago. That was just a really cool moment. But, like a bonehead I forgot to take pictures of it!

Car still looks as good as I remember it from 1980.
Going to an all Mopar show tomorrow, should be lots of pictures from that one.

Sounds like a good time Randy.

A few other pics from today.

This blue 64 Nova was built by another friend of mine who passed away about 5 years ago, don't know who owns it now.

It was, I really enjoyed today.

 

[missing linc]

Few more.

I have owned at least 7 or 8 Gran Torinos like these, very seldom see them anymore.

And some really nice cars. Glad you had a visit with Murray and hope someday to meet you both.

That would be fantastic Fred!

Funny thing about the show today, it featured the Transit Heritage Association with several retired busses. Turns out that I have driven 3 of them during my time at Winnipeg Transit, and my buddy Ray, who was also at the show, and was a mechanic at Winnipeg Transit for nearly 30 years had worked on them.
There was also a 1956 Grey Goose highway coach that very well could have been driven by my grandfather during his career as a driver there after he returned from WW2.
Quite a day.
