Welcome John, from the other side of the lake.
Keep an eye on the Canadian Regional Forum so you'll know about upcoming events and hopefully we'll get to meet you and the car in person this summer.
I'll bet you're chomping at the bit to get her out on the road, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen very soon with the amount of snow that's been falling, or the amount of salt that gets dumped on the roads So, just enjoy a bit of tinkering and maybe read some of the posts about how to rustproof the car as well as other inexpensive but valuable preventative measures, and then you'll be all set for when the warm weather hits.
