'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
First time in the shop with the whole family!! Always seems to be one missing (teenagers) but tonight we all went down to the shop to hang out and look at the car...just a fun night! James has been cramming for exams (physics etc) so he comes down to help when he can(school first). Still trying to figure out what Crystal(daughter) want's for a car? Exterior is almost done, now to start on the interior...stereo,dash etc then have to get the mechanical up to snuff. Thinking May on the road..better weather and he can drive it to school!
They already are Carl!! Don't worry...my two eyes are like two bullets!! Finished up the wiring on James car, all the lights working and installed the stereo (will paint the same as dash). The music buff has to have toons! Had to laugh...dang thing has a phone app built in with mic....he called from his car!!! What next??? I remember when auto reverse was a big thing!!!!

Heck, I remember when 8 track was a big thing, never mind auto reverse!
But I'm a young buck!! Rims had inflated rubber on the outside and you didn't need to get out and manually crank your car to start it! Who needs a GYM!
This must be so satisfying in the end to see the result of all that hard work. And knowing what a fortune it would have cost a shop to do all that must make it feel all the more better.
That is one beautiful car, and a nicer, more suitable colour for the Canso you wouldn't find. Cheers.

Thanks Mark! Was a fun build and enjoyed the time in the shop with James.

Finished off stereo install and started playing with the PS brackets. Anyone have a pic of factory install? Looked in the shop man but no good pic of belt/bracket setup. Everything seems to line up with the rear groove on the pulley,so front is just an extra for alt if I put the dual groove pulley on it? (no bolts in the pump pulley)

Death wish! Was under the dash doing the stereo wiring and noticed this. Pipe welded to rod with a ton of washers and nuts. This wouldn't even pass a Dougie inspection!!! Nuts what some guys do and it's the brakes!

You need double grove pulley on w/p, alt and crank. Rear belt does p/s and around all 3 others. Need a short belt on front to run the alt. Won't have enough tension on alt with just the p/s belt.
