HORSEPOWER!



First off, a *BIG* thank you to our first sponsors, Jack Carter Chev Olds here in Calgary, and CJAY 92.1 FM! Gerry Forbes of CJAY was the one who put me in contact with JCCO, and arranged everything! Thanks Gerry! And Tony L'Amarka of JCCO was great, not setting for just any old rust bucket, until he found the car of my dreams! Tony, you da man!
Soon, the work will begin, and you can check here to see a chronicle of everything that will go into, and come out of, the Silver Stampedermobile, known as Horsepower!
Horsepower is a project that began, like so many great ideas, over beer. The crazies of Section B, a tight-knit group, usually spend a good dollop of cash to construct a raft to enter into the annual River Raft Race here in Calgary.
But this year, rather than spend the money on a raft that will only be used once, we've decided to invest in what will soon become a piece of Calgary automotive history.
Ladies and Gentlement, this is HORSEPOWER!

Mouse over the photos for a description.
The front passenger compartment... like the floormat? View from the hood ornament's point of view! Silent Bob's head! A mess in the back seat... Jen shows off the seat covers Now it's a red-tinted mess! Trevor rests under a saggy roof Jen peers out from a colapsed roof! The corroded mess where the battery used to be! Jen removes all evidence of wood trim Trevor stresses Trying to remove the old battery... Stil trying to remove the battery... Finally got that stuck nut! Starting to sag on the inside. Hey man, can you spare a win? The initial paint job. Not bad, but it will get better! The design will stay essentially the same, but it will be brighter, bolder, and well, better!
