Manitoba Fall Cruise

[55 Fargo]

Hi all, fall is approaching fast here in Manitoba, been cool the last few days. This morning I repaired the broken gas line fitting to my fuel pump. So I decided to go for a test drive on my road, the farm in the back is my place,(not really a farm, just a country yard and old Chryslers). The car looks better in pics, needs a lot of body work yet:o , before paint, the bumpers need chroming also, oh a nice set of Coker whitewall radials would be nice.................Fred

Fred, I like the plate topper, "right side, suicde". What's that from? Your car is looking good. Eric

Lookin REAL good, Fred!

Still have seats?

That loonngg stretch of road might be tempting for some speedometer testing to ensure it is accurate...hehehe.

Maybe you'll have to start a winter in Manitoba 07/08 thread soon.

Nice here today but arctic front due at suppertime gonna drop the temp 25 degrees or so. I hate winter.

You have to be commended on a great job Fred, you have come a long way with your car, it's looking good. Have you decided on a colour yet and how you are going to paint it? Brendan.

I promise I won't, I mentioned to my wife that you first got your car in 1968, and finished I think in the last 5 years. Her comment was, oh well what you figure you need to get yours finished so quickly.I then told her you had another old car, so you had no reason to rush at that point. Funnything, she didn't mention I should get a road ready car while I work on this one..HeHeHe............Fred

Eric , it was from a farmer in Langdon North Dakota, he was a relative of a friend of my Dads, not sure the origin, or how old it is, but thought it would add a little spice to the front tag..........Fred

Seats,Seats,Seats, course it gots seats,a little tattered but seats and no more coke box:D . In fact, someone mentioned that possibly K car seats, may fit in this car as a replacement, till I can afford to have these ones redone. Even thought of going with buckets up fron, and through covers over the back seat, or just throw covers over both seats for a while.

I think the "Winter In Manitoba" should be revived , but not yet, man I am still in the summer mode here...........Fred

Thanx Brendan, it still has a long way to go, trust me, as soon as I finish cleaning painting, seamsealing the under car. I plan on rewiring the car, painting the dash and window garnishes, as well as giving the interior floor another coat of paint. I want to then finish all the mech items, new gas tank, exhaust work, front end work and alignment, new tires and balancing, and repaint engine............Fred

A buddy has a 97 GMC truck and those seats look like they will fit minus the center console. It has a relatively flat floor and the power switches are on the seat, and the seats are high enough. I'll be taking some measurements soon, and I know where he parks it at night! ;)
