But I think you'll agree that the picture speaks for itself. This is what I faced this morning.

p.s. Check your car windows are up before a snow storm!!

OK, I see that people are disregarding the no comment rule, so here goes, I'll be brief, De-rust, POR15, New Springs, New Wire, Head Rest Delete (installing a Spyder Roll over bar with head rests), New Foam, New upholstery. All done on my kitchen table. Upholstry from my guy in Fla., great fit and inexpensive.

Well it started with a gearbox when the wife was away for a week. It's been snowing off and on for the past 6-7 weeks with sub freezing temps outside. 32 degrees is still doable for me, but at 10, my hands stop working for some reason. So after the gearbox, why not the engine, then the seats. Sure I had to deal with it when she came home, but come on, honestly, who of us would not have done this if you could get away with it lol. Sure I got the rolling of the eyes, but little consequence compared to having parts freezing solid to your hands. But alas, it's time for me to leave until June. But now I have the completed frame, suspension, and drive train. Body in June, but that could be done outside. But this is a picture thread, so here are some more pictures.

Hi John
Be careful about mounting an oil switch like that. I have seen the mounting into the block crack due to the extra weight on it and vibration. Better to fit a tee in the normal line and mount the switch on the body.

cheers
