Greetings from the frozen north.
« on: February 26, 2014, 11:36:08 PM »
Well, TFoch is to blame for foisting me on all you nice innocent people here. But I'm REALLY glad to have found another good Chevy site.  Looking forward to getting to know you and more importantly...your cars!
Mine is a '35 2 door standard sedan, built at Janesville on January 16, 1935.  It sat in a barn for 50 odd years and the mice ate everything they could and piddled on everything they couldn't eat.  That stuff is hard on metal floorboards!
The pic was taken at Jasper National Park about 5 months ago while bringing the car home on it's 800 km trip from Onoway, Alberta to Kamloops, B.C.

Welcome to the forum!  I think you'll be glad you singed up.  Lots of good Chevy info here and a good bunch of guys.  That's some beautiful scenery behind your 35.  Looking forward to seeing any progress on the car once the temperature drops in your neck of the woods.

I saw the pictures on the HAMB. Glad you made your way here. That is a very nice '35.

Welcome. That picture of your 35 is very scenic. I have liked that body style for a long time.
