From greater metropolitan downtown Belle River

HI Guys - just realized I never did an intro - That's grounds for the death penalty at some sites. I'm retired and I've been building and driving Hot Rods since '72, with a bunch of '55 to '57 Fords and Chevys and some sports cars (Triumphs, '67 Corvette) before that. Sold my orange and black '34 three window to a guy from Quebec a few months ago and bought the T coupe I'm building now. I also have a '66 ElCamino that's a California car and really clean - can't take much credit for that though - I bought it after it had had a full body off resto and all I did was swap out the 350 Th for a 700R4 and I had new seat covers installed after jumping into it with a screwdriver in my pocket. I really like this new site. Great people! I'm very intereated in the history of Hot Rodding in the Windsor area and have written a few articles for Terry Denomme in Canadian Hot Rods about the El Dragos and Tecumseh Push Rods clubs as well as the story of the T Bird Deuce that John Willoughby and I found after he sold it about 43 years ago. He was the 4th owner of this car and is now #21 as well. We found every owner from the builder, Mike O'Byrne to the very last owner in Michigan before John was able to buy it back. It''s featured at the MEga Speed show this weekend. Had a great time researching this car with John.

Welcome to the site! We'll let the missed intro slide (this time lol) You've definitely come to the right place... I read the story about that T Bird Deuce... its so cool you were able to track down the history of that car, and John is a proud owner once again! I love when there is a "story" attached with vehicles, it just gives them their own personality! Welcome again... Cheers

Hi Mike,
Welcome to the site, last I heard of my long lost distant cousin he was living in Belle Rivers again, if he still has the cars he owned in Laguna Beach you should see a black 65 Mustang rag, 53 Buick Riviera and a few others running the streets. Think he built a place right along the lake.

Hey Mike,
It was a great time this weekend with you and the other hometown boys. Some of us Londoners went down to Windsor for the Shakers reunion and spent some quality time with Mike
Thanks for the hospitality Bud
