    Here is a video about the "other" car that is occupying my spare time at present.

    Having restored some things in my life, I understand how incredible it is how much more work is involved than originally thought there would be.

    Are you able to work on the car during the summer, or is the heat too much to bear?

    We have occasionally. Just drink lots of water and position lots of box fans to blow air through the inside. We have been working on getting a Cummings diesel generator up and running and park it next to the car to provide HEP as well as getting the AC working for the upcoming summer.

    The new windows were delivered. Here I am with another guy hauling one up into the car to stack in the dining room while we try to figure out how to install them.
