    New Guy From Canada

     



    Hey Guys.

    I've been lurking around since November looks like and figured I better finally introduce myself.

    I'm Pugsy from Markham, Ontario. Markham is about a 3 minute drive north of Toronto.

    I'm a stainless steel sheet metal worker by trade.

    I'm building a 41 Chrysler New Yorker.
    Its kind of ugly so I'm doing my best to try to make it look better.

    Welcome to CHR. Looks like the Chrysler will be a very cool ride. Looking forward to hearing how you progress and seeing pictures.

    Welcome to CHR! Nothing ugly about the old Chrysler's, always good to see something unique used for a project!

    I'm with Dave on this one,nothing ugly about your car and it certainly makes a change from the normal belly button cars. Welcome also from me down under and before anybody wants to shoot me,I have a T Bucket and I believe they are quite popular.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    My opinion may be wrong, but I find all Chryslers to be ugly compared to Dodges.

    Of course I never mentioned that it would stay ugly.......
    I just love teardrop headlights from the 37-39 Fords.
    I hope it looks cool when its done.

    Ya, its pretty good for rust.
    Around the bottom edges only.
    Doors are good.

    Engine plan is a 496 stroker with Edelbrock Pro Flo XT intake controlled by an LS1 style PCM.
    I guess this thing will be a ''tuner'' when its done.

    Welcome aboard. This site is a little more laid back then many and we seem "know" each other a bit better

    I hope that you are going to WOW the folks here as well with your SS chassis and engine work. These folks appreciate the work it takes.

    You're not expecting me to lift up the car's skirt to expose what she's got on the first date are you?

    Maybe I'll start a build thread later.

    Thanks.

    I'm very nervous about how the final result will look.
    I've seen alot of wild customs that did not look too hot (to me that is).
