Hello from Eastern Canada
 

Just joined and hoping to get some help with my future projects when I get them going. I see a few names I remember from metalmeet.

Never did get my ewheel finished yet but hope to very soon.

Glad to see Joe Andrews and Kerry Pinkerton here as they both were a very big help in my ewheel design and build.

Welcome aboard from a fellow Canadian. :)

What kind of projects will you be getting into?

Hey Jamlit - good to see ya. You will enjoy the company.

Jamlit, welcome to the site, glad to have you as a member. What are the projects that you have in mind?

My main goal is Motorcycle tanks and tins but hope to move into some auto stuff as well. I have a 28 Chrysler Truck I am going to rod someday soon and it's going to take a lot of sheet metal work to build the cab right.

I still have much to learn and I am still practicing my tig welds on sheet metal.

CHRYSLER truck? I knew that Plymouth and Dodge made trucks way back but didn't know Chrysler did. Got any photos?

Well Kerry you caught me. It was a model 52 that was supposed to be design to be made into a truck. The back would come off and hook to the door posts. Someone did this many years ago. I am only the 5th owner of it and I got it from my uncle who purchased it in 55. Here are a couple pic's my grandmother took of it the day I pulled it out of the old barn. I have sand blasted all the parts since then and stored it until I have the time and money to do what I want.

I also included a pic of the body as it is today.

Btw, please add a signature.

Sorry Kerry, I forgot to to that as I know you guys are big on names.

Thanks for the comments on the old Chryslar. It is pretty cool and I hope it comes together the way I want someday.

Hello, jamlit, glad to see another Bluenoser on here. Your truck looks great. If you travel to the south west of N.S., send me a pm and we can meet up:)

Wow! I am listening to Bluenose by Stan Rogerer as I read your post.

The name of my old 59 Chevy truck is "Mary Ellen Carter"

Welcome aboard James! Still got the motorcycle?

Hey dellwas

Yup still have the bike. Wont be selling it until I get a new one built. We really should try and hook up in halifax this summer. Get Mr Mikey to.

Welcome James!
I recently worked on a simarly converted '33 Dodge pickup and a large part of the work was re-doing the back and getting the beltlines to match up. Lot of effort but well worth it. Unfortunately I don't have the pics pn this computer.
