<VV> FC Reaches 60 Degrees

[Jim Houston]

Florida allows Antique plates with unlimited use.  I've had them on my 
'65 Monza since I got it...  It's a bunch cheaper too...

I drove it on a frozen lake today and that was a lot of fun. I pulled some kids by 'skid hoppin' which was great fun. My cab has been insulated well . The thermometer on the dash reached 60 degrees. It was 20 F outside. The rock salt has done a litttle more damage. One of the kids hanging out on the lake told me that some of the High Schools would do body work repairs in their Shop class. I might look into it. Meanwhile, I'm looking for an extra windshield.
