I thought of you people trapped in the frozen North today. 63F and sunny in High Desert. Put the old girl to work hauling tree branches.

Thanks for thinking of us. It got near the 20's today but with the wind it felt pretty chilly. I did stand next to the '60 inside the barn today for a while! LOL

It got about 34° today in Central PA. I was able to scrape most of the ľ" ice off my driveway and walks.... at least where the sun hit the ice.

Our low was 33. Hi was 69. Warmest day here in a while. Supposed to be mid seventies next week.

A little warmer here south of you but with it comes the winds I just had a huge pine removed after the last winds a few weeks ago, just too close to the house and we didn't sleep well..

We’re a long ways from 69 deg…
Hoping to get it in the garage in March, but April is more likely. I did start buying parts today though!!!

When it is 120 degrees here this summer I'll look at this photo to cool off. Incredible.

Nice panel, the hood looks like 1960. Should be a fun project.

looks pretty complete. Hood is 1960, unless panels were different. Looks like a nice project. I really like fridge panels.

Nice panel. If you have both taillights, you are ahead of the game!

Do you have pictures of the inside?

Engine bay?
That looks like a nice project!
