Thanks guy's.I won't stop all work in the Clowns garage,you have convinced me to do something about it.My father in law has offered a wood stove to me.So I will try and sort some things out and get that stove in there and working real soon.Hey highspeeddirt that cuda still looks like a solid foundation to start with,I know its missing parts but its better than nothing at all.------The Clown

the benefit of some oversights which you won't realize until your deep into reassembly.  nice job!!

In my old garage I started out with a propane unit (stinks) then went to a wood stove which worked great but took a while to get warm and too much work for me so I bought an old moblie home furnace for $100 and ran it off kerosene-woked awesome.When I was going to work on the car I just went out to the garage plugged it in and hit the thermostat and kept nice and warm.

WHEN I HAD MINE APART I ALSO LAMINATED IT WITH 'GLASS MAT TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT LEAK OR ROT OUT AGAIN. IT'S A SURE BET I'M NOT GOING IN THERE AGAIN.!!!!

If you look at the second to last photo,that is the front of the rocker panel.There was damage from an accident and someone brazed it shut and eliminated the drain that should have been there.I have found most of the worst rot on this car to have been caused by shabby work.-------The Clown

wow...

[74chall]
