[QUOTE=cilrah]... how long does it take to clean all the hair out of the vehicle ...

Not long at all - with the top down most of it just flies away.  Thumbs%20Up  I do have to hose off the right side of the car though when we get home - dog drool at 60 mph does tend to leave some streaks...!!!  Shocked

Before the garage addition "The Toy" occupied the garage spot during the driving season.  I could keep it at home as late into the fall I wanted to as long as the frost was cleared from her daily driver's windows before she left for work in the morning.  The latest it went into storage was early December.

I'm as bad as my kids, they call my garage my toy box and its as full as the kids toy box's.
Put up a 30x40 with a full upstairs, one lam beam so I only have one center post, plus the 18 inch tall lam gave me great ceiling height. Before the siding was on I knew it was to small! Cry

Yesterday I took "BIGBRRD" out to a shop that specializes in Corvette tuning to get the carb adjusted.  He ended up keeping the car overnight because there were so many vacuum leaks to chase down.  He ended up pulling the carb and tearing it down because "something just wasn't right in there".  End result was my buddy and I didn't get the carb put back together correctly (first time I'd taken one apart) so no wonder it wouldn't dial in right.  He rerouted a few of the vacuum lines bypassing some of the emissions stuff in order for it to run better.  He also said that the carb was "tired" and if it were his car he'd swap out the original intake manifold for an Edelbrock Performer and replace the Q-Jet with a Holley 750 double pumper.  That setup on the Poncho 400 would make the car a real nice street machine.  Seems to me I remember that kind of advice coming at me when I had the engine out of the car and partially torn apart.  Oh well, I may just run out of winter projects so I might as well add that to the list...!!!

I hate it when that happens...
Oh well...you do realize it'll NEVER be finished, right? At least you'll be able to cruize in it before long....that'll make it all worth while...
