Just bumped into your site a couple days ago and joined up to look at the pictures and tech info.
I live in Alberta Canada just outside of Calgary in a small town called Chestermere. I guess posting some pics of my rides might help you get to know me.
Drivers:
71 Chev C-10 - my first one
72 Chev Blazer
88 Jaguar XJ12
76 Honda Bobber.
58 Shasta Travel Trailer - not really a driver but the wife and I redid this trailer this year just in time to use it twice.

Upcoming projects

1947 Studebaker M16 that will look like an M5. Frame painted, motor ready to go in most of body blasted and primed. Awaiting more body work and assembly. PUT ON HOLD to finish the 4x4. Will be finished and painted to match the Shasta trailer
1951 Chev Pickup. Bought as a driver. Turns out that it will not pass the safety inspection so the more I started to tear apart the more I started fixing. Will be painted semi flat black and red.
Rat Rod project 194??? International pickup. Traded a scrap truck for it and it is sitting waiting for attention. Have a spare studebaker box for the back. No paint, just get it running.
Rat Rod project 1951 Ford Pickup on an S-10 frame. Another scrap dealer did not have the heart to squash it and just gave it to me. No paint, just get it running.
Today I am pulling a running transplanted motor with a Edelbrock 600 (newish), tranny and B&M starshifter out of a 98 chev to go with one of the RR projects. Paid $325 for the truck, will sell probably $200 in parts and will get $150 for the squash after the Fire department practices jaws of life on it. Free parts other than time. It is a good Christmas.

Welcome from frozen south sask. Love your Studie and your Blazer and your Shasta and your... '51 Ford has a '48-'50 front end. :D

Welcom again and Merry Christmas!
 
The tarped car is a 90 300ZX right hand drive that the son in law is working on. Anyone want to buy it to get it out of my yard??

The 50s Ford project is a collection of a Merc cab and front clip and a Ford front clip and hood. And an S-10 frame. Probably do that one up as soon as the 4x4 is done so that I can get it off my buddies property.

Just came in for a bit. Almost have that motor and tranny out of the truck but have to finish as the parents will be here soon. Finish it tomorrow when I find an opening to sneak away.
