Dragged this home last night and then spend $40 blasting off the years of nastiness. 1972 Country Sedan 400-2V, C6, tilt, air, dual facing rear seat, power locks. Very rust free, but like many southwestern cars, the interior is well worn. I jokingly told my daughter it'd be her first car, now she's all about it.

Wow, a good wash down did wonders for her, she looks like a different wagon.
 
Aside from waiting for the county to approve my garage plan, I picked up a 91 Dana 60 kingpin axle and a sterling 10.5 rear for my 81 F350. This will be one of my future projects after my garage is finished.

I met my son for an hour over lunch shooting handguns. Mine a Dan Wesson 1911 45 ACP his a S&W Shield 9MM. We both enjoyed the time. Likely to become weekly.
 
Erected a new Rhino Shelter hoop house as temporary winter storage and work space for the Galaxie sportsroof. It won't fit in my garage, so I have to make do until we get a design locked down and approved by the town for the addition. I recreated the plywood floor that I used in my other hoop house, which keeps the interior of that one perfectly dry and eliminates the moisture problems they usually have. 5/4x6 PT deck boards as a perimeter, and then across the width every 4 feet, 10mil vapor barrier and 1/2" exterior rated sheathing ply screwed to the 5/4 boards. Painted the ply on both sides to protect it from moisture, so it should last a long time. The unpainted ply in my other shelter is ten years old and just starting to fail. Have a string of Amazon-sourced construction lights which make it nice to work in.

The big mistake I made was getting a round top style, thinking it would shed snow more easily. Should have bought the same house style as my other one. I'm losing way too much interior space. If it irritates me enough, I'll get another shelter and move this one elsewhere.

That's very nice. How long is the cover expected to last?
