Hi All,
Thank you all for the welcome, so far i am struggling to even find a cat and model to zone in on. i really like what i have read about the tuckers ride and the fact they have a steering wheel would make it a bit easier for my wife and kids to drive, my only problem is the fact i would like to be able to carry six passengers in it, maybe three rows of two seats i am thinking, so some kind of modified cabin i guess. i also really like the idea of the classic cats but the steel tracks look like they could be very expensive to keep going. i live on Vancouver island so it wont get used a lot but when it does it will have to be reliable, there was a 1542 tucker that was on this site with only 443 hours on it, do i have to find some thing like that to get the reliability ??
I am very mechanically inclined but having the time to do a full rebuild may be a problem, especially since i already have my sons nova on a rotisserie in the shop and its probably going to be another year to get it finished.
well as you can see i am just starting down this path and it normally takes me a long time to make a decision, but now that i have found this site it should make life a whole lot easier. if you guys have any thoughts on running a particular cat on the west coast please feel free to let me know your thoughts, i would also like to here some thoughts on thiokol versus tucker out here.
Hey Laurentian, beautiful province you have back there, i had the privilege of doing a couple weeks work out of Havre-Saint-pierre several years ago and i would love to come back some day.
thanks for the input every one
