Glad to hear that you both are feeling better. Had it in the very beginning before they even knew what was going on. I got it in L.A. while out there on business in Jan. 2020. It was a pisser of one really bad week.Hoooooooo! Its been a long haul and a humbling experience to say the least! Finally starting to feel better. I actually never thought I'd get Covid as I am very active and eat healthy. It actually hit me harder than it did my Squaw. I'm starting to finally feel better though. I was bed ridden for over a week! One night I actually collapsed and hit my head while getting a glass of water. Im only 46. Almost 47. Very humbling! Very humbling! Thankyou everyone fir your concern! I appreciate the friendships I have made on the forum!
Cut safe, stay sharp, be aware, and don't get the COVID!!!

Thanks .it’s an uphill battle keeping a black car super detailed
Well got the doors off without incident . Managed to save the rivet pins . All it needed was some heat from the torch and they popped right out . Now to get the doors into a rust remover bath . So I can take them apart and replace the gaskets around the glass . 
Decided to lite it up to thaw out the inch or so of ice in it . If my son doesn’t want it I’ll just paint it up and use it as a fireplace on my deck

My dream family vehicle!!
When the kids were little I always had a suburban . But 4x4 and 3/4 ton to pull a camper . Have to go through my old pictures but you can see the Burban in the street . I miss my Jeep too
I have literally thousands of board feet of white oak . All the 4/4 sheathing, flooring which is 8/4 on my barn is white oak as are all the crips . Must have been plentiful here in the early 19th century . 40 x 37 two floors plus the loft . All the supports are either locust where they contact the ground and a mix of American chestnut and locust for the joistsThese deck boards are 6"X1" White Oak fence boards put up on my friends farm in 1985. Some sections of the fence were older, but most was redone in 85. She has a bunch of Texas Longhorns. The fence boards were 16' with posts every 8'. But when those cows start rubbing their butt's on the fence, sometimes they break boards. My BIL heated his house the first couple years he worked on the farm with with busted fence boards. Then I picked enough off the burn pile to use these. They were all gray. I ran them through the planer enough to get the color I wanted.

Interesting. Does B&S Fuel Fit = Stabil?
I swear by Fuel Fit. It is easy to get here. Stabil less so.

Always thought they looked pretty rad! I have a blown up 066 I want to turn into a racer some day. 
Only problem is. 
I don't know where to start? 
Never built up a saw before! Im assuming those head pipes are a custom fit, no? I'll probably be hitting up Sierra R fir info on that can of worms! Ha ha!
looks similar to the lower level of my in-laws barn, but his beams are beech, white ash and elm and in nowhere near as good of shape as yours.

today, i have chains, firewood and such in the works. maybe go do some urban scrounging. the widow maker is still waiting for me, block away... we hauled it up to the fence...
those on the West Coast may still be finishing up coffee hour... done here and windy out...
i run med grade pump gas w/Stihl oil for fuel modding... seems to hold up well and let my saws run well, too.
I tipped this stick the evening I started feeling poorly. I never did make it back out into the brush to haul the wood out. By the time I got it limbed and a trail brushed out. I started feeling poorly and a bit weak, so I bagged it. It'll be there when I go back. Unless it sprouted wings or leg's and decided to make like a tree and leave?
Don’t ya love the way snags self limb when they hit the ground?
always special, well imo... to see a very low mileage original car. especailly a puff well taken care of. one of best i ever saw was a 57 chev, 4-door.... 7,000 original miles on it! like a time machine.... i got to spend a few minutes in it.Wow, that's awesome.
You don't see them everyday, let alone in that condition.
