Transcona, the Dirty Old Cougar

Decided that today was the day that the car would get out for a ride. That ride would just be on a trailer but a ride nonetheless. Backing the trailer in and running the ramps under the car but trying to catch the edge of the jig was an adventure.https://lateral-g.net/forums/attachm...1&d=1640659338

Will you be able to get any progress done now that winter has set in?

I will be able to provide updates as the car is a lot further along than the posts show. That is by design to prevent dead periods in the forum.

We spent all that time building a car and now we are taking the body off. The trolley and the engine hoist are able to handle most of the chores required. The floor jack with the rigid pipe stands played a supporting role. (Get it, supporting role) I kill me, LOL.

It was December 2nd and my friend Rod decided that we were going for a snowmobile ride. It was -26C and their was a 30km wind. That's only if you were standing still. We were travelling about 50-70 MPH most of the time.
Anyways this is where my trip that day ended. The Birchwood had a tremendous Burger and fries though!

That's what frostbite looks like. My friends were sure that I could continue. One of them wrote his sled off by the end of the day and has been off work since with a sore back. Once again I made a phone call to my friend David Winning to gather up my truck and come get me. This is what we do for fun in the great white north! Strangely enough there was no feeling of getting cold or any pain since it happened.

Freedom was fleeting but we are all back up on the chassis jig and the body jig.
