I hate no garage...
Yeah, just when I start making decent progress on my car, it has to start raining. Just my luck. I'm gonna go grab a golf club and look for lightning.

I woke up this morning and there was a coating of snow on the Chevelle.
Has anyone done a cam/radiator/water pump swap with winter gloves on before. It is going to be a long winter.R.J.

I feel your pain though Allen. I lived in MN during highschool. I once had to change my started, on my 77 Camaro, when it was -30*. Well good luck indeed.

I changed an electric fuel pump in a '77 Astre (it was in the tank) in an unheated garage with the temperature around -18* celcius.

Back in the day I swapped a 2wd Chevy shortbed body over to a 4wd chassis at -20 to 30.

You know, I used to live in Hershey, PA for 5 years and about 2 miles from Lake Erie in Ohio for 2 years. Every time I hear stories like this, it makes me glad I live in Vegas where we get no snow, and MAYBE 2 weeks combined total worth of rain every year.
Now, granted it gets hot enough to fry an egg on your intake manifold in the summertime, but hey, what's a few burn marks across your hands and arms between friends? :icon_razzDoug
