We had snow last week end & now it's mid-hi 50*s
going to be mid 60*s by the next week end "allegedly"

Snow Upcountry a few miles, go figure...

3 months more here @ a min. of this
sometimes cold & sometimes warm or
sometimes sunny or sometimes snow & rain stuff...

Only good thing about Calif. really anymore is the weather...
300+ day of collector car driving weather

I was going to say that you didn't stand winter for long....but then I saw this thread is 2 years old.

Stay safe and up the right way during snow season guys.

I was so sick of OH winters and gloom that I moved to a state that virtually has no winter!

 

[YY1]

...in fact, I don't even care for the 3 weeks of 40* to 6 weeks of 30* "winters" we actually have here.

I may have to move to the Virgin Islands!

Well, with the exception of the hurricane seasons of course. We had a very long period of time without one up until Mathew...... even then the thermometer didn't drop below 26*C.

Make sure you have every, single trim piece...and don't need any sheet metal.

THOUGHT YOU GUYS ARE OUT OF THE HURRICANE BELT ? ABC ISLANDS? DOVE ON BONAIRE

 

[GinoX]

Well MOPOWER871...... sometimes, like every other decade, there's always one (or two) that will go off the beaten path and visit us.

THANKS M for the heads up, took the day off to take a look. No sheet metal avail?

 

[mmissile]

No NOTHING available. Having a really nice and complete one, takes time and/or $$$$$$. Best value is probably a done car.

There's a decent quarter/wheel arch patch, but it's hard to find.

 

[YY1]

I think a lower rear quarter patch and a fair fender dog leg.

...and of course the floor pans and trunk pan are easy to find.

Best kept secret about 66/67 is that the 4 door cars don't rust (almost zero) over the rear wheel, and there's usually enough metal from a harvested 4D to replace the commonly rusted area over a 2D rear wheel.

One area where the 66/67 is better than the 68-70 is that the outer wheel well is the same 2D and 4D where the 68-70 is different...and again, the 4D doesn't rust there.

You guys are all depressing me, lol.
I already know beforehand this thing will need quarters/ trunk extensions, and probably more. Now I'm bummed. Still going to see it anyway, Cuz would make a real sleeper. /6, 3 on tree 2 door roller 440 model off road since 88 through a private seller not advertised. I'm also going against one of my own top rules - NEVER BUY A CAR FROM NY STATE! Will let ya know, but lunch may be the best part of the day.
