Excellent build thread. I'm a fellow Canadian (near London, ON). I see you have a Mr Heater unit like mine. I have a 24x40 pole barn style shop and I bought a 45K natural gas unit from Princess Auto last week to keep me warm this winter. I installed it by the book but when I flipped the switch it wouldn't run. The exhaust fan would come on for a minute, the ignitor would buzz and the gas valve solenoid would click, and then it would shut itself off. The error code indicated no flame detected (no **** sherlock). After several hours of trying to get it to work I called a friend who does residential furnace repair and he popped by. He used his sniffer to confirm what I already suspected, no gas was getting through the gas valve. So I took the unit back. That's when they realized they mistakenly gave me a propane unit. There was no label on the first box indicating which type it was but the replacement had a natural gas sticker on it. Anyway, I took the correct unit home, hooked it up and presto 
Keep up the good work.

Hi Rob,
Haven't done much the past week. I was away for company business and came home ill, so I took it easy on the weekend. I'll post some when I get more done, although it may be a couple of weeks.
Weather's not quite as cold here, dipped down to -10 for a day or two and now back to +6 with rain!

I managed to pop my back out in the garage
. I had 14 sheets of 4X12 drywall on the truck to be unloaded yet. Called up my good friend Brian to help me unload it. So today (Tuesday) home from work, and can hardly put my socks on.

I hear & feel for you! My back was sore after the drywall on the ceiling and then a week later doing the walls. It does get better though!
Dave
Looks nice, it'll brighten up a bit when you paint the wall white.

Nothing on a '66 yet Looked at a few, nothing I wanted yet. Also watching for a '57 Chev 2-door post, Canadian version, nothing there either. Love to see some pictures of your Bel Air though!! Dave

I'm now actually thinking of going with a straight pipe sloping downwards to drain water and run a upright before the end of it for the filter & regulator. I'd add a drain at the end of the pipe, something like this picture, but with just one drop at the end:
Dave
Impressive garage build you did there Dave - thanks for the good air piping layout.
- I hope to borrow, your ideal layout, this summer.
- do you have a source website, for the air piping diagram ??
Also, read one of your posts re. a Canadian version 1957 CHEV. 2 door post.
- just curious...what's different or unique about the Canadian models, in '57 ??
- I know the Oshawa ON. made Chevelle's had inside trunk sheet metal painted in the same exterior body color
(at least the A-Bodies for the Canadian dealer market)
I'm just South of London...neighbor...big fan of Canadian iron to.

Thanks Larry, can't wait to see yours take shape!

I don't know alot about the differences, yet, other than the Canadian versions had two cowl plates, one that says "General Motors of Canada Limited". The US version has one cowl tag and a VIN plate just inside the drivers door on the front body hinge pillar. I only found this out by asking questions on another site.
Glad to have you here Larry.

First time reading your build, very nice. I noticed in the back yard, that big river. Do you have to worry about flooding? It looks like your up maybe 20', I can't tell from the pictures, but it sure looks like a pretty place.
I see your avatar says TeamChevy, are you into 57's or just other cool ole chevy's?
I use to be into the 56 Chevy's, owned probably about 50 of them over the years, had three of them I showed and one I raced a little at nostagilia drags. I put disc brakes and a LS7 454, with 411 rear and turbo 400. That was back in the early 80's, seems like another lifetime ago. Anyway, very nice shop, gonna watch what you paint, like walls and floor.

Hi Bugthug! Thanks for taking the time to read my thread!
So far there hasn't been a major flood in the area. We've been here 2 years, It's great!
I kinda like all Chevy's! I started off with a 76 Camaro LT, but also have an 84 Silverado and recently picked up a 57 210 2 door sedan. Needless to say, that garage is full at the moment. I haven't painted the walls or the floors yet. When I do, I'll be updating the thread!

Hi John. I haven't seen that Biscayne, but I'll have to wait awhile on that now. I'm trying to get the Camaro back on the road to free up some room to work on the 210 this winter! Love to see some of your pics!
