Quote from: RICH MUISE on 2024-01-14 10:31At 10 am this morning, it had warmed up to 6 degrees!! Pretty darned cold for Texas. It won't get above freezing until Wednesday.
Sorry, but I just gotta :005:

I knew that was coming, Tom,lol...... I know 6 degrees isn't that cold for Alaska, but you don't have to deal with the occasional 115 in the summer either.

I think we have the same cold front dropping down here in Oregon been in the teens at night, right now 26 degrees and sunny, supposed to be back in the 50s later this week.

19 here in B-Ham, light flurries with a small amount on the ground.  Bad sign, the driveway has snow on it which means the ground froze overnight and the bridges and overpasses will be slick!  No worries here, have a twelver laid in, plenty of eggs and bread and a gas range......

Up in Fairbanks the high temp for today was forecast to be minus 24f & the low to be minus 42f. Glad I don't live up there! It always gets colder in the interior of Alaska in winter. It does get hotter up there in summer than it does down here.
It's 3:15 pm in Anchorage right now & the temp is zero degrees Fahrenheit. Many years ago the temps up here were almost always colder than how they have been for many decades now. I remember a lot of minus 20 degree & windy days. Even some minus 30 degree days. Even later, like 1971, I remember it being 20 below zero when going to work every morning for the whole month of March.
I know that down there in much of the the "lesser 48" it is very cold & causing some very serious problems. The difference is that it will warm up long before we do up here.  I sure hope none of you are are freezin' yer butts off & stuck with no electricity to run whatever heats your house. Been in that situation too many times.

That bare metal Ranchero is on another level.  The side stainless is actually all CNC'd aluminum custom made.
All fitment is super.  But it will be a shame to paint it and hide the work.

Any idea what powertrain is in the bare metal Ranchero? Certainly has a huge transmission tunnel. I really like that black Ranchero, and the 2 door wagon looks pretty nice as well. Not really a big fan of "resto mods" and billet stuff, but the bare metal Ranchero sure seems to have some great craftsmanship.

For that Ranchero actually Might have not been setup yet. I thought I took a pic of the info cards. But I reached out to them for more.
Here some more pics.  See the modern armrest with built in door handle. That was cool.
