2018.... coming in Hot!!

[HawkX66]

I wish 2018 were coming in HOT! I'm sitting in my office right now and it's about 55 degrees. Maybe our facilities people could make some resolutions and fix my heat!

My resolutions are to:

1. Set up my new Mr. Heater Big Maxx garage heater so I can work comfortably in this zero degree weather we're having.

2. Get the top corners of my A pillars where they meet the roof straightened out so I can finally permanently install my windshield. I've been driving it for two summers with it just set in place...

3. Decide what motor is going back in my 69 for summer 2018 and install it. The numbers motor, my 408ci that's a clone of my #s motor or a new motor. 454 etc.

4. Sell my gen 6 494ci & two of my other motors...

5. Clean and organize my bench. It turned into a catch all this year.

If I get these things done by Spring, I'll be content... For a while anyhow.

Dave - I installed a propane heater ("Hot Dawg") in my garage a couple years ago and am happy to help if you need it. I posted most of the install in the garage section under "Cholla's Retreat" starting on this page approximately: https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthrea...=134445&page=8

Thanks a lot Sam. That looks like a nice install. I remember following your thread for quite a while. I'll go back and check it out a little closer now.
I think the only thing I'm going to really have any trouble with is running the gas line from my big tank. Frozen ground... I might set that up temporarily until I can dig a trench in the spring. I'm also a little nervous with my shingles. They're only four years old, but I'm sure the cold has made them brittle. I should have done this all last year, but I only came across the $259 delivered deal for the heater recently. I just ordered an 80k unit today also for $319.
