Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

With the woodwork shed suddenly becoming a sheep shed, I meant sleeping shed and having an emergency paying guest test it out during the coldest nights in a year….. in -3’C it was decided by my sensible side and discussions with two good friends, Martin and Fil that a Chinese diesel heater would probably give me much better heat at less than 25% of an electric oil filled heater.


So I put @sparkplug Fil in charge of purchasing the new equipment and ancillaries.


Three days later he left his home in Cambridge with the outside temperature showing at -6’C My driveway was showing-5’C when he arrived.


So after the customary exchange of gifts, junk and insults, we had a cuppa tea and discussed his plan for the day.


Then we headed out to the garage and shed to get the Maxpeedingrods Chinese Diesel Heater unboxed.


This was a great opportunity for me to actually see what I had bought with Fils advice.


Some photos and video below.


It is my first unboxing video and I am very pleased with the way Fil got it done and explained it all.


Comments, advice welcomed.

Well……



Fill is headed back as I type for a rematch

Also, a trailerload of electronics to try improve my my WiFi reception inside the house, down to the ‘Lil Shed and my workshop area.

Great when you have friends who know their router from their route planner.


But here’s where we got to.

Some revision and changes coming today.

I will be doing a second observation video after todays updates.

Upload as soon as I get the time.

Video of the test and subsequent observations for your enjoyment
