Welcome to Snow Country!!!Yesterday and today
Not getting any better. Two days of heavy wet snow, a little rain, a little ice and the trees are really stressed. And more is on the way. Lots of power outages throughout the state.

Nope, no snowmobile. Don't ski or do the ice fishing thing either. Really not a big fan of winter. If I had my way I'd be down in VA or West VA. But the little lady won't even think about it - and I've tried for years.Dude, where is YOUR SNOWMAN??? You could do a 10-foot Sasquatch with that much snow!Time to be a boy again! Got a snowmobile? I hope so!!!

Hey, looks great! Well done.
It's a minor point, but I am glad you were able to find the fan in black.
I got sick of digging through a cabinet to find whate ver spice I needed. Got these online at Wally World 4/$19. Problem solved!
The finished look will be period correct "hot rod," with nice wheels, black hood with a stock scoop. Here's sort of – but not exactly – the look I'm after on a '71 Fairlane.

It's a sort of nostalgia project. I owned and rodded a '68 Torino, the same body style, when I was a teen.
