thanks guys. i am really liking the canadian content fact. i am sure as time goes on there will be times when you or i will of had a friend of a friend of a friend who knows each other. driving truck yrs ago you would be surprised how much that happens in the darnedest place's. as for the amount of cars i have its a curse at times. up till just recently i had cars stored all over the place from foxboro to castleton. built a new shop just for storage and i still have a couple still not home. this is the first winter in 6-7yrs that i am down to 1 in the work shop. didn't realize i was such a slob till it was empty. lol fixin that now. here are some pic's from around my mayhem. no particular order;
this is pretty funny. going through the pic folder i found another one i forgot about. its a hearse that i bartered for. want the power train from it for the 40 coupe. lol it an Ls ? with very low mileage.

Welcome to the club Rick, guess I have met the man that sold my old man a Fire Truck now. Yup,one of Sherwin's boys is a hot rodder, he'll never tell you that though...Drop in if you're ever in Campbellford. Chris.
yea its me. hello. when i seen your last name and campbellford i figured there had to be a connection. are you the son that was driving the wrecker? i have been by there a few times headed to peterboro and the tractor end of it was sitting beside one of your shops. don't think it's there now.
if you are the guy in the wrecker hello if your are not, nice to meet you.
oh yea, you can't believe the number of people who ask where the fire truck went. turns out it was a land mark for this corner right beside the donkey's. the truck was easier to keep though. here is a couple of memories. lol
Welcome from just south of you in the north end of Belleville. Quite a collection you have there. Do you make it to the cruise night at Zellers?
hello; yea i get down there. not every tue night but 3-4-5 times a year. never know what i am driving down till it's time to go. it would be the truck, chevelle or the coronet and the odd time a couple of them if other half feels like going down. i do marmora about the same amount of times. the truck in your avatar i have seen there more than once. nice ride.
"Quite a collection you have there". its an infliction and they are on the cutting edge of finding a cure. dang lol
here's the one i found when i was putting up the others. chris tell your dad the body will be for sale coming up. it will work if he gets to the fire late.
Welcome from Vineland Rick. REally nice bunch of toys you have there. I really like the Chrysler, is that a Sarasota? If you find yourself on this side of the lake drop in.
Hello there! Quite the collection on cars there. I'm impressed and very jealous, that must be nice to be able to drive a different car everyday!
x2 I think we should protest no one should have so many toys.... that could be a new law..... loll
thanks for the compliments guys. i am in the process of cutting it back now. when i got back into the cars about 9yrs ago it was to keep me busy after my wife passed in 2001. the first one bought was the elcamino and a 65 calienti in texas visiting my sister. it just started growing from there. my end game now is one big block of each of the big three, which i now have. there not for sale. the 50 ford is staying because i inheirted it from a very good friend. the 40 coupe might stay also. the harley stays, my wife bought it for me, and her honda thats on the wall stays. all else is for sale. i can't remember how many i have bought and sold, its been a few, but it gives you something to do that isn't the same ole, same ole.
Welcome Rick! Nice group of hotrods you have. Enjoy Ontario Rodders!
no one should have so many toys.... that could be a new law..... loll
