CFM chuck123wapati Posted August 21, 2020 CFM Report Posted August 21, 2020 WOW that was some project! Its is beautiful! Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Contributing Member LatigoAmigo Posted August 21, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted August 21, 2020 @EdJ That is gorgeous, just like brand new. I don't know much about buggies, but I know that some were manufactured by companies that later developed automobiles. So I'd like to ask: What make is it? Quote
Members BDub77 Posted August 21, 2020 Members Report Posted August 21, 2020 Well that is just beautiful. Thank you very much for sharing your results. Congratulations on the finished product. If you ever put together a bigger (online) photo album of a more detailed process on this rebuild, I would be very grateful if you post that link here as well. Thanks again.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 22, 2020 Members Report Posted August 22, 2020 Those 'before' photos make me wonder how you managed to salvage anything at all! So, yes, would be interested in seeing a more detailed description of the rebuild. Incredible work! I imagine there are very, very few people in N. America capable of doing what you did! Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted August 22, 2020 Members Report Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Latigo, in the town I grew up in, this: https://www.toronto.com/dealer-profile/cruickshankford/ started out as THIS! http://www.cruikshank.ca/The Cruickshank Descendants.htm Quote Alexander's nephew, James, appears to be the second to arrive, around 1850. James was the first descendant to marry in Canada - he married Anne Wallace at St James Cathedral in St. Andrews, Ontario in November 1852. James founded the Cruickshank Carriage Works in Weston, reportedly had an undertakers establishment, was the first Justice of the Peace for Weston, and was also the town's first librarian. Sadly, the car dealership recently gave up the Cruikshank name, and is now Weston Ford. They also donate an old Cruikshank carriage and two sleighs to the Weston Historical Society, which uses them in special events: Edited August 22, 2020 by Sheilajeanne Quote
