Got the frige . And I thought about a washer for shop rages . She gets up set when I wash them in the house . Come to think of it she gets a little up set when I throw my clothes that smell of old gas on the floor .

Hey, maybe he had that salamander heater going full blast and it got too warm in there?

Nice progress. I see that you covered up and fixed the 'escape hatch' in the back of the cab.
I was relieved to see that someone had a bigger hole in their cab than I did. Mine was only big enough to pass a loaf of bread through. Someone could vanish from that locked cab like Houdini before it was fixed.

Keep the pictures coming, looks great!

Tom

Don't worry, Dave will have his wife was his discarded underwear after she starts cleaning the engine and prepping it for paint. That is in between the times she's getting him something cold to drink on those cool 60° nights.
