    Welcome to CHR, Skidz! Hope you enjoy the forum. I see you have a 54 Belair, how about posting some pictures. We love pictures.

    Never been to Manitoba, is really that flat??? What is it? Just a too far north prairie?

    sorry guys no pics. as of yet. I know that I am a bad parent!! But I am currently awaiting hood and fenders and to go on and am planning on having a nice little daily driver hot rod out of it. I am trying to figure out some framing/suspension details right now as I want it to sit in the weeds. It is going to keep the 235 but will run a dual or triple carb set up and a set of Fentons. I would like to do up the engine as you don't see too many straight 6's out there (atleast not in Canada). As soon as I get some pics. of the car I will post them. Thanks for the replies.
    And yes Manitoba is really that flat, they say that if your dog runs away you can see him running for the next 3 days.

    Welcome Skids. Riding across Manitoba on a scooter used to be my favorite summer trip!!! Used to go to bike weekend in Winnipeg, then on up to the big lake for some fishing with friends from Winnipeg. Once a bunch of us made the trip from Winnipeg to Calgary on scoots, had a blast!!!! Enjoy your time here at CHR and good luck with your build!
