Working in the garage

Last night I was working in the garage, damn it was cold. I had the heater on super high. It was 15 degrees when I started and 2 1/2 hours later it was 32. Trying to re-wire the car in 32 degree weather is a bitch. I need to take the car to the shop this weekend or else my fingers will fall off.

Hey Eric C.,

I have to do the same thing to my garage. What type and grade of insulation did you end up using? I've seen the type you blow through a machine at Lowe's. March is coming up soon. I'm not trying to freeze getting ready though!

BTW...how's the ride coming along? Going to be ready for OPS this season?

Hey Marc....longtime no see.

If the walls and ceiling are not finished like the walls in my garage then I would use this stuff

You can hang it just like drywall....but it is light to where you can hang it with one hand...and a roofing nail in the center, then nail the rest of the sheet.

Yeah...I am slowly but surely getting the Chevy II going. Just got it out the trailer lastnight before the snow hit. So I am going out there now to do some work for a few hours. I am planning on running Limited Street but I will play around in OPS. I will use 75-80 to hone my rusty tuning and driving skills.

What do you have planned for 2004?

Call me! 301-461-8439 The number I have for you is the old number.

Just working on getting the car ready to race this year. The car as been mothballed for a few years. We are looking to get back in the game....and have fun doing it.
