Event Coverage Northwest Deuce Days 2025

This one is going back under new ownership. Previous owner had it there in 19 and I bought it earlier this year. Lots of changes to make it mine. Presently sorting out fuel lines and still lots of little things to cross off the list.

 

My scroll finger hurts but I did find the photo I took of it in 2019. A lot of tricks in a plain white wrapper.

 

My wife and I will be headed north from NorCal , booked on the ferry from Port Angelas . First time to Deuce days for us, third time for Maggie. Flew to NY state, and drove her home.
Hope to see the builder Tom in Victoria.

 

That’s it. Cowl steering is gone unfortunately as there were issues with the box. Now has cross steer, an original 32 axle dropped by Okie Joe, original 32 split bones, 32 3 window dash with 34 Buick instruments and some other personalized preferences but keeping it pretty much the same as the previous owner intended. Really looking forward to driving it.

 

Too cold to play/work in the garage today so spent some time finalizing hotels at the pit stops for the trip to Victoria. Looks like might be 20 hot rods in the group we are traveling with, so should be a nice little parade from Alberta to Victoria. Staying under the speed limit all the way officer, of course.

 

@rockmtnway what route are you taking through BC?

 

Great question. Not sure it’s locked down yet.
Pit stop #1 is Revy and pitstop #2 is Surrey so we can catch an early ferry to the island next day. Between Revy and Merritt ??? May see some doing the #1 loop, some the Coq, and some may even go south to Kelowna and over the 97C to Merritt. Expect much beer, and much debate at pit stop #1.

 

It would be a beautiful trip through the canyon.

 

Ya know, this caravan has to come through my neck of the woods. I can't make the pilgrimage to BC this year but when y'all need lunch, stop in Vancouver and I will meet up with you hoodlums. You don't want to stop in Portland, keep driving a few more minutes and we can find some joint off the super-slab for some eats.

 

Map check on aisle one!!!

 

I’m hearing there may be an “out of country” surcharge applied to hotels, restaurants, etc. in light of recent events...

 

Are short term , (ie -condo and home ) rentals still illegal in British Columbia? I think this law took effect May 1, 2024 after the hotel industry bankrolled lobbyists to push thru legislation. I know a lot of property management people were trying to negotiate thru this corrupt law. None of the other Canadian Provinces have this law from what I understand.

 

STAs have never been illegal, just unregulated not unlike most jurisdictions in Canada. Many regions are now requiring them to be registered for various reasons; sanitary and health reasons, income tax purposes and limiting the number of units per capita. A great number of affordable housing units have been changed to STAs for obvious monetary reasons, but the existing ones' still exist legally and are probably now safer then ever. Hotels just want to play on an even field.
