Holy smokes, I think this might actually work, those that have read my previous threads know that my wife and myself are finishing the restoration of my father-in-law's '57 Laurentian 4 door. He had basically finished the bodywork, but the chassis was untouched, and not under the car. We enlisted the help of a family friend to get the chassis done, as we live 800 miles away. The frame has been powdercoated, and assembly is going along nicely. I just want to give a plug to Tory's Repair in Brandon Mb a plug, and see if any CP members in the Brandon area are up for a body/chassis reunion party July 12/13 or so. Ie, a couple hours work in exchange for beer and food. Even those that just wanna come watch and laugh at me are welcome

Welcome aboard Brad. I'm sure if there's someone on here close by they will take you up on your offer of food and beer in exchange for physical labor!

Hmm, I wish I could. I'm not sure that weekend is free but I'm due for a trip to Brandon sometime soon I hope. It's about 2 1/2 hours for me.

Carl, are you in Winnipeg?

Morris.

I have a friend who is from Brandon but these days is at work in Winnipeg during the week and home on weekends. I need to go visit him at home some time and see his "new" cars.

 I've got a buddy that was raised in Morris, he moved out here in the late eighties.

Care to name him? I've been here all 52 years!

 Sure, Grant Boaler, he'd be about 10 years your junior.

Man sure wish I could make it we are so busy at work I barely find time to check in on here.

Wish you could too 57Poncho, by the looks of your avatar you've got a pretty good idea how these things go together.

Ok, ok, all of my 52 years!  But I missed the part about my neighbour has one???

 

didnt your neibor get a little morris a black one?

Ahhh, now I get you. Yes and yes.

It's home, on wheels. Pic's to follow. Oh yeah, and thanks to the brochures 57Pontiac was kind enough to post, I've determined it's a Pathfinder Deluxe. Wow the learning curve has been steep, thanks guys.

Hi Brad,

Glad the info was useful to you. Can't wait to see the pictures of your car :)

Good stuff can't wait to see pics.

Here it is, ready to go home. It's home now actually, but no pics of that. No more building from 800 miles away, now I can get a little more hands on

So, it's been a long while, but here are some updated pics. The car had some questionable bodywork done by my dearly departed father in law. He meant well, and was one hell of a carpenter, but not a great bodyman. The car is actually now in colour, those pics will come soon.

Looks good can't wait to see pics with color.

Very nice indeed Brad.

If you need anything else during your rebuild, just let me know.
I still have a LOT of parts to get rid off...the mezzanine of my new garage is already full!
