Waitng for warmer weather
Haven't worked on the truck all winter, too cold in garage but I did drive it out of the garage today since the temperature was just above zero.
Ordered some engine parts so will replace valve covers and install cold air intake this spring. For now am looking at getting the instrument cluster gauges all working.

I feel your pain though we are somewhat warmer than that....maybe not as you are probably referring to zero celcius, so we are about the same at 32 F.
We did just get back from visiting our daughter on Maui though. Saw a 51 0r 52 green F1 driving down the road there. Looked nice but I could not catch up with it. Someone on this forum maybe? Anyway spring is on the way!!!

Not to hijack the thread, but just had to say hello to blsd49. We were almost neighbours. I have some land in Sagle that I was going to settle on but wound up just over the state line thanks to Sunset magazine. I had it sold, but the buyer gave it back last year, so when the weather warms up (snow goes away) I'll be over there to list it.
So back on topic, it's been 0 or just below at night, but 10 in the day so our snow has been receding. It dropped an inch of fresh yesterday morning, but it melted off by afternoon. Repeated the same today, so it's now mud season.

Yeah wish the winter would be over. Find myself staring at my parts pile everytime I go in the garage. At least reading on here gives me motivation and brain storming ideas so I will be ready come good weather.

Grab one of the 55,000 btu propane heaters and a 100 pound propane bottle. Warms up my oversize 2 car garage to t-shirt comfortable in 30-45 minutes. Best $350 I ever spent. Amazing how much more you get done when it's toasty warm. A carbon monoxide detector is a good idea but mine's only triggered a couple times in the last three years. And always keep the bottle outside.
The heaters might even be on sale now.

Took my F1 out last Sunday after a few snow storms during the week. Most of the snow was gone, the heater works great. Our road, gravel, was kind of muddy. My wife said as we fish tailed up the driveway that it needs to be reminded that it's a truck from time to time.

Grant that is just sad . I have been working on mine in the shop but I'm waiting for the snow to go so I can sand blast and then summer temperatures so I can paint .

Looks a lot like our yard a couple of weeks ago after we got 32" of snow. Most of it had melted since then but we just got another foot today. So much for an early spring.
