Cannot recall, did you put a heater in it, Billy?
17f??????
I promise to stop complaining about an occaisional dip below 40!:eek:
Keep it running and figure out how to get some heat inside!!!
i have a heatercraft 28,000 BTU heater i am gonna stick in it.
i put the same heater in my willys jeep and was able to crack the window so i could smoke at -30f
yeah they really kick butt.
heck right now
i dont even have a drivers side window.
i just dress like i am going ice fishing ie; snowmobile suit
i been putting cardboard over the radiator so the engine will warm up in the mornings.
And then take the cardboard and put in where the window will go!!!! Maybe cut a little hole in it first.....Aw fogedaboudit! Be sure to wear earmuffs!!!:DQuote:

I plan to commute with my hotrod when it's done.. With a 503-514" ( not built yet, have a stock 460 needing rebuild ) BBF, I'm not sure how much I'll afford to drive it.
When I "finished" the 1st build with the 3 window I used it as a daily driver ,work and pleasure. In 4+ years I put about 50,000 miles on it.:) When I moved to WA. ST. I drove it just for pleasure. When I get it far enough along on the rebuild to put it on the road since I have been retired for some time now I plan to put as many miles on it as I can. Would like to hit as many shows, tours, and take as many cross country road trips as I can.:HMMM:;):)
Jack.
one nice thing about all these short trips with a newly finished car is.
if something is going to break,poopout or just not be up to snuff.
i'd rather have it happen 10 miles from the house than 500
ZZ,
Now that you mention it, I was driving the 34 to work one day, gently let out the clutch when the light turned green, felt a pop and the coupe's rear made a sharp move the the right. My weld on one of the rear locating arms broke. I was able to continue driving it to the nearest phone, (talk about a side winder)and called for a tow. Talk about lucky, I was at Fremont Drag strip a couple weeks before for grudge night and am lucky it didn't happen then. One of the many reasons for this rebuild was to grind off any bad looking welds and redo with the tig welder.
Jack.
