Ahoy there, welcome to the stovebolt site. Yes there are a few bluenosers around here, they will chime in soon. I lived in the Truro/Schubenacadie area one summer, still have relatives in the valley.

Hi Bill, I guess I qualify as a Maritimer, but I started life out in Ontario, figured I should qualify that part. Are you looking for truck related stories, or more "off topic" type of silliness? I've got lots of both.

Hey Ryan, just looking for stovebolters in NS, do you attend any car shows in the local area? I'm in Sackville and have driven the old 49 to a couple in the area. How is the work on your truck going?

Moncton, New Brunswick home of the Canadian Nationals. Largest car show in Canada, July 9th to 12th. Chip Foose was here last summer and loved the cars, people and the scenery. He was impressed with Maritime Canada. He stayed a little longer & had a nice vacation with his family. He also travelled to Prince Edward Island & Nova Scotia. Would be real nice to to see some of the Bolters from other area down here some time. You guys would love it.

Can't call me a stovebolter I don't think, I'm running an Iron Duke Engine!

I was looking for you last Sunday at the Kinsmen I think, assuming there's not too many flat back ADs with shiny blue engines around. I wanted to see how the wiper system worked since mine came in a billion pieces and I've never seen them installed. I wandered around the show there for a bit but got tired of the crowd of yokels around the Cavalier you were parked beside.

I actually called the inspector yesterday, just waiting for him to tell me when he'll be in the area. Before last night I only had 1 fender left to patch, 1 headlight, taillights, and wipers. Apparently I now have to add a defroster and windshield washers too as my truck is considered "custom" (I don't have papers for the 52, so I need to go through the process of getting a new VIN/registration for it). Unfortunately after a trip around the block last night on a bit of a test drive my engine decided to crap out on me, so I have to add some diagnosis to the list of things to do over the next couple of weeks. Hoping it's nothing major.

I try to head to all the local shows as a spectator, but would like to make it to a few as a participant before the year is out.
