easy wood projects - Car Show for a good cause

easy wood projects

So yesterday our little village (507 people), kicked off the very successful first annual Celebration of Life Day, to honor my wife and her battle with stage 4 lung cancer, the whole event is a huge fund raiser for her , to help medical expenses,gasoline for the car, etc and for what ever she wants to use the money for.

One of the events was a Car Show/show and shine , I took some photo’s to show you what some Canadian Country folks can do with cars, some of the cars were simply amazing!

This is my Beautiful wife (the Queen for a day) standing beside a Model T Ford , she really liked this car, she was able to walk around and talk to people for almost 2 hours without the use of an oxygen tank! She was really overwhelmed by the community support and was left speechless a few times.

This Beauty is a 1956 Chev , restored to completely original and stock, I rather like this car and could easily see myself cruising around in it , if only I had that kind of money!

This little mini bucket is not actually a Ford model T at all, we have some very creative folks in our community, this is a street legal home built from scratch lady owned micro rod, the engine is actually a 900 cc Kawasaki motorcycle engine, the front wheels are actually motorbike wheels, the back wheels are 13 inch from a chevy sprint (car) the bucket (where you sit) is a single seater and it is actually made from a wheel barrow… No Lie!! I didn’t believe it either at first until I talked to the owners husband (he helped her build this), it is an amazing little car, and will do an easy 140mph down the highway, and yes it is chain driven and has the 6 speed motorcycle transmission.

My Beautiful wife standing beside my friend Harvey’s Isetta, this is a cute little 3 wheeled car and the only one in Saskatchewan, my friend puts it on a trailer and pulls it behind his motorhome where he uses this little car to scoot around the campgrounds and to run errands.

This is our son “Hammy” sitting in a chevy S-10 truck, why did I take a photo of this truck? well the photo didn’t turn out as I had hoped, the paint work on this truck is extremely beautiful, it looks black but is infact many multiple colors and it shimmers in the sun and seems to change colors before your eyes, it also sports a 327 corvette engine and suspension, I am told it is “wicked” fast .

These are just a few of the over 50 cars and trucks that arrived for the car show, the cars came from all over Saskatchewan to show support for my wife, there are many events happening in our village, there was a softball tourney , an extreme road hockey event, car show, parade, a live concert and the band Prospekt donated their time for free, a casino and beer gardens, there are lots of kid sports and events happening as well and lots of family activities , they are capping it off tonight at 10pm with fireworks, all this to celebrate my wife and to celebrate life, all the proceeds from todays events go to my wife. We ourselves just found out about all this and what it was about less than 2 weeks ago, this is overwhelming to us to say the least, my wife was reduced to tears of happiness and gratefulness many times today, and I confess even I the emotional rock of my family got choked up a few times as I talked with people.

Guess that’s about all for now, I’ll post more photo’s in the next blog, and probably continue to do so for a few more blog posts as there are over 100 photos of todays events.

Remember to express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted and be kind to others , Peace

Butch
