Hot Rods Canadian Bacon

  1. Had a bet to get my 59 F100 back on the road by my birthday (May 25th), but with everything shut down, I don't think I'm going to hit that goal. Blaster for the frame is closed, engine builder is closed, shop rebuilding my front axle is closed and I have parts stuck at the boarder (boarder closed to non-essential shipping).
    Working on motor and transmission mounts right now, but then I'll be stalled on frame work. Will move on to other (yard) projects in the meantime.

    That's an iconic shot of Ken Dryden, one of the best and the coolest pose waiting for any "incoming"! It's good to poke good natured fun at each other and I expect to get if I give...

    JUNK ROD your truck has a real nice look to it. Remember seeing the truck on Sanford & Son t.v. Show. Your truck reminds me of that truck. Cool ride

    God I hope not although it is going to be -24 C as tonight’s overnight low and then tomorrow night will only be -20 as the overnight low. :eek::D

    I’ve been active with my backpack blower clearing snow from my driveway the last few days. :(:D

    It’s supposed to be much warmer next week apparently :D

    I posted these pictures a few days ago on a let’s see some convertibles thread. The Edsel is also proudly Canadian bacon. The pictures are from my daughters wedding a couple years ago. Beer cans in tow are Lucky cans .... any Hoser will understand.

    I don’t usually do ranting social media posts but this crap just pisses me off so I sent a little note to Petro Canada. Not that they care but just had to vent.

    This reminds me of just before a holiday weekend comes around how suddenly the prices leap up until it's over.

    It traditional, 3 days before most holidays, gas stations will jack the price. They know that most people will travel, not so much now with the current situation
