    Wow, nice find. But then again, you did find your old custom too. How is it coming. Looks like there are still some good cars to be found on Vancouver Island. Pat

    Thought I had a Barn Find 3 window in Mequon Wisconsin... but I found out it was SquintBoy's car!

    Great find and it's in really great shape!

    I know what you mean, I never believed I would actually get this lucky....all it took was running into the right guy at a swap meet....all I can say is, keep talking to people who live and breathe old cars.

    Congrats what an OUTSTANDING find.

    I grew up in cobble Hill and I bet I rode my bike by that barn 1000 times however I do not recognize it. Always amazes me how much nice tin lives on Vancouver Island.

    WOW!

    I'm guessing by that beautiful of yours that the barn had a cement floor? Nice Patene. Can't wait to see what you do.
