No, my '36 does not have a full metal top. I'm probably going to go with the stock type vinyl insert.

Nice looking place and ever nicer looking work !!
I'm guessing you got to make good use of that plow today
We got 12" of sticky nasty white concrete last night. Can't plow it, gotta use blowers to get it gone. Really getting sick of this winter !!

Is the red '64 Galaxie yours?
no, I actually built that for my mom. It's her project, she funded, she owns it and shows it.
When we made the decision to go full time with classic car restorations and hot rods (2014), she wanted to acquire a project and have hers be the first one produced through the shop. I found this 64 for sale in SD, we got it up here, tore it down and built it back up. Her original idea was to "flip" the car like they do on so many "reality" car build shows on tv. The problem is she fell in love with the car and couldn't part with it. lol
My wife and I own these 2.

I'm so sick of it. Yes I plowed a lot of snow yesterday. We are losing buildings to the crushing snow (not us personally, but we fear for it). A good friend lost a pole barn saturday night. He had a short box 68 C10 (blown small block), a little 72 buick that he just loves, his wife's mini cooper, a 2018 polaris 1000 ranger and a nice 20' lund fisherman boat. It looked like a bomb went off, it's a terrible mess. Everything is crushed, he will be home from work most of the week trying to peel the mangled tin and lumber off his toys.
I had about 20" of heavy stuff on my new building which is uninsulated currently. 6 vehicles in there currently. We fired up a couple of large propane space heaters in there last night and the roof got warm enough to let the snow slide. I have to go to another friend's later this morning and try the same trick at his place. If it works, it beats the hell out of getting up there and shoveling. I'm not gonna say I'm too old to be falling off roofs but I'm damn positive I don't feel like doing it.
