My "new" '74 Duster- or why I need a project like a hole in the head

Thanks!

This year has been alright so far, the last two winters kicked my *** with all the snow. I’m at 3,500’ so we definitely get snow, but usually we don’t see much more than a foot at a time and typically it’s more like this year where we have a storm and get 6” and it melts within a week.

Last year we had 3’ at one point, and I blew the spider gears out of the Dana 44 in my plow truck. My Duster is on the right of the Ford in this picture from last year, before I dug it out. All the snow on the Ford was from overnight. And that’s a ‘71 ford lifted 4” and on 35’s

I’ll shoot you a PM


Thanks!

Yeah that sounds about right! I had a 24x26’ shop at my last place and it was full and then some. 30x42’ is about the max at the new place so that’s what it’s getting, probably still won’t be enough but it’s more than I’ve had so I’ll make it work
We were at 2,900 feet in San Diego and would get dusted once or twice a year. Our way to the main road was up in elevation to about 3200 with canyon drop-offs where the snow was much heavier and air colder. We were also 25 miles inland and right at the top of the marine layer heights. Our dustings would melt in half a day but at 3200+ it would just stay a day or two. On shore winds are always going to dominate and keep it tropical.
