actualy....it is thats the funny part..so long as the parts are "close" of a fit....and the 2 cars are DRASTICLY different in width but the cut pan and where its going to fit into the old rockers ill have about a 1/2 fill in the floor per side...and it may have taken 2 days to cut due to heat, light and blood.....it realy only took about an hour of cutting and an hour of bracing and another 2 hours to remove the bbody remove the car from the trailer move the body to the ground and load up the other car....but bear in mind that i WANTED and have wanted for as long as i can remember..try and remove a car body like a slot car/model car..and i did it..and fishy will attest to the fact that i pretty well removed the body all by myself..only having his help to get the chassis rolled out and to set it down a bit gently as i had locked my arms
if no ones going to chew my ass about safty matters...ive got the vids to prove how fast it got cut..2 vids 1 15 min 1 25 min and were missing a 5 min chunk....and we filmed 95% of the cutting...
i should note the interior was mostly stripped when i got it

Awesome.
I'm a phone call away from having storage for the NewYorker for the winter.
Some heat in the garage and a whole bunch of ambition, and I'm ready to get cracking.

I had the whole underside of the 68 Coronet rag I restored done in a very fine pebble rock guard. Looked great, and was very durable. Looking good resto!! DCF will be glad to get that old beast back inthe garage.

...and installing this.
Not top of the line or anything, but still 92% efficient and a whole lot smaller. If it last anywhere close to the 43 years the old one did, I'll be happy. Hell, I'll be happy when the gas bills are lower.
Number One son and myself are doing the rough install. An HVAC friend will do the final hook-up, test and start-up.
Winter is coming quickly. Too quickly.

Nice.
We did ours a few years ago. The thing I like the best is the sealed combustion chamber. Air intake runs outside as does the exhaust (not up the chimney).
The only downside is that we still have a gas water heater that needs to vent up the chimney. With that much less heat going up the chimney, the chimney had to be reduced in size or the air would stall and possibly come back down. In any case, it wouldn't vent properly and the moist air would cause all kinds of havoc to the chimney. So, we had to line the chimney with an exhaust duct that reduces the size. All good now.
I just finished cleaning the gas fireplace in the rec room.
That's it for me for the day.
I did some cleaning in the garage yesterday. Getting there.
My biggest problem is lack of tool storage. I'm working on rectifying that. I hope. I responded to a kijiji ad for some used Snap-On Heritage stuff.
I didn't go looking for Snap-On specifically, but this is the best deal I have found.

We had a gas fired tankless water heater installed two years ago, so now the old house chimney is a moot item. Next summer we'll take the top of it off the roof and shingle over where it was.
The only drawback to the new furnace is where we have to run the exhaust and intake - through the cinder block basement wall and through the cinder block side porch foundation. Good thing Number One son is strong. I bought him a new 10 lb sledge for the porch wall. The pipes have to be wrapped under the porch, so we need a good sized access point.
The tankless water heater is great, a noticeable difference in the gas bill, but it really sucks up the gas when it fires up... something akin to a pool heater at around 200,000+ BTUs. Luckily, the gas company had already upgraded the meter before the water heater went it.
Snap-On, mmmmmm

In over my head!
New one won't make 40 years ,steel in that babby was like 1/8th inch thick, but your upgrade from not rated furnace to 92% should save you a nice chunk a change on the feul bills!

Mr 340 was over today, we put the "new" gas tank in the cuda, he took some pics of the rather dirty cuda, I leave those to him. Had some lunch & chewed the fat for a few hours, had a good day! thanks Don!
I am finally almost done with the bath, tiles are up & grouted, window moulding nail holes puttied & sanded, just have to sand spackle on the 2 short walls & shes ready for paint, faucet rebuild kit should be in this week, so in 2 or 3 months it will be done! :shifty:

Well at least the years worth a dirt doesn't show toomuch, cept for that 360 closeup! Thanks again Don, tank looks good without a hole in the bottom!

I got counter offered, but took it. I'm waiting on a time to go pick it up.
If I were to buy it all new, I think there's about $1500 worth of tool box there.
My truck was such a mess i decided to pull the dash to clean it and the windshield, while I was in there I changed the heator core! I havent had heat in 6 years or so. I'm not sure how I'll deal with that!
Wear thinner socks?
Nice!
