Uh oh. You got your hands full this weekend. Give um a big hug from me.
I have a heater too. I usually plan on spending all day out there if I turn the heat on! Been cold in Michigan, too. Where abouts in WI do you live? I have a good friend in Chilton that’s a MOPAR nut.
Just about 30 minutes south of the capital city of Madison. We had a good snow storm here last week about 6-8 inches if snow and supposed to get 8+ tonight. I paid my gas and electric bill last night $253. You can tell I've been spending some time in the shop!
Will do Rob. 8 inches of snow coming so snow fort will be built!
Fun! We got about 5” out of that storm last week. More coming tonight.
A few more updates. Been working on the shop a bit and back to Pig Pen.

Pig Pen and I had a BLAST today.
I looked like a Pig Pen when I was done. All sealed up now read for more welding.
What a PIECE that thing is! LOL It's coming along great!
Cleaning it up made your progress look further ahead. nice

Looking good , nice shop btw.
Thank you. I have been doing some air compressor mods lately so not much work on the car. I added an air dryer to my system now and moved the comoressors around to fit the area better. This side of the shop still needs to be remodeled like I did on the other side.
I like that old compressor. That's a bad beeotch.
It was in the building when I bought it. The pump is actually a really cool blue metallic paint. I was thinking about pulling it out some day and restoring it.
Here are a few updates to Pig Pen. I have been working on the radiator support mocking up the radiator and trans cooler. I mounted the trans cooler up a bit higher so it was directly behind the grill instead of the bumper. I also lowered the lower radiator support one inch for better hood clearance. This is a 26 inch b body radiator from Cold Case. Fits nice now. I extended the lower radiator support to mount like it does originally and modified the vertical lock support to fit the new height. I also reversed the welded nut inserts to the radiator support instead of the lock support. I figured this would be easier if it ever needed to be removed you can keep the radiator in the car and access from the front.
Nice progress!

Looks great! Nice touch on the welded nuts. That may make life easier down the road.
Just wait for someone in the peanut gallery to say your transmission cooler won't work with the fittings pointing down.
