And it was a chilly one at that, everything has been removed for painting and I dropped it off at my painter this morning. Temps were in the teens farenheight. Now I got an empty garage for the next 6 weeks or so.

In the teens, that's unpleasant, it broke freezing here yesterday, I thought it was the end of the world. Twas a bit windy to boot.

Paint should be fully cured by the Springsmile
Red ?

Yep, she's staying as close to original color as possible. I'm not a red fan but am less of a fan of paying to get the color completely changed. I'll drive it next summer with the 2.8 in there while I collect the parts to make it a 4.9l Ford over next winter. Got the engine already, just need some fuel injection parts, tranny and wiring harness yet.

Tomorrow its time to ski, granted the cold doesn't usually bother me too much. I ride my CB175 to work daily unless it is actually snowing when I leave the house. I rode my Nighthawk one day that it was so cold I blew my driveshaft seal when the condensation froze up. I think that was a high of 7 that day.
