HI Everybody : Thanks to FATCHUK , I have climbed aboard with hopes of being of some value to the rest of you and maybe even be able to convince my old grey matter to absorb some new stuff .
I have a 1951 Chev 2 door FLEETLINE , 250 Inline six for power , a T-5 trans and a 3 : 42 diff out back . It was a 12 year , 90 % DIY project in my own garage up here In Beautiful Downtown PORTLAND , Ont . Had it to the ELTA Bash in Aug 15 , the Woodstock Streetfest ( also Aug ) and the 2015 Jalopy Jam-up . Hope to meet 'n greet some of you folks this summer -- have tentative plans to spend June in Port Dover -- Thanks for letting me aboard -- LATER -- DON / FLEET 51
That was quick.. Welcome here Don, Great to have you. Only been up for 2 months and so far so good..Any sugestions or ideas to enhance the board I am open, willing and learning.. I have by no means got the behind the scenes under control . that is my disclaimer till I can learn everything I need to about managing the board..For now it is working and everything seems to be under control ..."seems" being the operable word.. Thanks for joining up with us and I hope you will enjoy being here..

PS we need pitures.. If you need any help with pictures..I have free long distance and I could walk you through pictures and an avatar..I am kinda house bound for most of the mornings with Diane ..So mostly here.till I get her dressed and fed and the dog..takes most of my morning to get things going here..but I can easily walk you through the procedure..

HI 1957bowtieblue : I hope it wasn't me offending you when I abbreviated your name in my thank you piece -- If so , please let me appologize , with promises of being more correct in the future .-- LATER -- DON / FLEET 51
GMDad : Why would I put a little six in a beautiful '51 Fleetline ??? -- Firstly , THANK YOU for " beautiful " description " ( you actually saw it in 2009 when it wasn't like it is now ) -- PLUS , the six -- Well , when I started the build in 2001 , I just couldn't afford the other two cylinders , once my money tree had died , soooo six had to do ( plus it was a free Mercruiser 165 ) -- LATER -- DON / FLEET 51 --- P.S. will be calling you soon -- DB
Stand corrected. I saw it at the E.L.T.A. show a year or so ago. The June Port Dover sounds exciting. We will talk and I love the inline 250. Did an awsum job on the car for all the work you did yourself on it.
HI DON : You are dead on -- It was the August 2015 ELTA Bash -- Thanks for the kind words on the work -- Gail & I are really looking forward to laying down some miles down your way , come June -- You're definitely on my radar -- LATER -- DON / FLEET 51
