All this unusually warm weather is making me long for Spring and bringing the '52 home and getting the cars out again. Working full time this winter hasn't left me any time for my own restoration work, but they are all still together and drivable too..cool

I'm with both of you.  Mitch, it will be warm enough tomorrow to take the '66 for a spin (I think you still have access to it?).  And Chris I'm with you... bonus payout is first week in March, so the AC parts won't get ordered until then.  So, the Chevelle stays in pieces until later in March.

Could be worse... we could be in Nebraska & Iowa where they are getting 10+ inches of wet heavy snow!  hyper

Pull the cover off, put the battery in and GO.... too much salt on the road for that. It took 3 hours to get it all clean after the run down to Shakopee for the hoilday party. I should've left the underside dirty so I didn't feel the need to clean all that too...rolleyes

Yeah, a LITTLE snow for moisture would be OK but I don't need dumpings like that either.

I fired up my 64 after swapping out intakes today...I think my fuel pump check valve is bad as I watched the pressure bleed off way too fast when it died.

I did some brake work out in the driveway today and it was very pleasant not to be out there freezing to get the job done. No stocking cap needed and I didnt freeze my hands with no gloves, my hands didnt even get cold from touching the metal tools with no gloves on to take things apart.

If this is global warming. Ill take it anyday. This is what winters in MN should be all about. I would imagine your garage heating bills are considerably smaller.
