Re: my first c10 custom
Oh yeah I remember. My electric bill was always $200 to $250 for an apartment. Don't miss that at all. Other than the heat it is a nice place to live. Homes a lot more affordable too.

Dinos63
wasnt much better today i was spent from working saturday all day in it . I didnt work on my truck i just guarded the sofa all day ! its been super nice weather up till this week we are cookin by may or june and have triple digits for like 90 days straight and the worst part is when its 9 pm and its still 94 degrees ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well....uhm....if your tired of that heat send it up north dude.....in the winter I have done the -45 thing...and it just stopped our rain spring thing here a week ago. This is the first week of real sun we have had......it's so bad if i have something sand blasted i have 45 mins before it rusts.....lol. When it's sunny I feel so much more motivated and get things done, when it rains for days i don't even want to open the shop doors.

Re: my first c10 custom
If I was in AZ, I'd have AC in the garage. Not much different than heating one up north here. Not cheap, but worth it. We live for our summers, as brief as they are. Once the temps start climbing into the 50's and 60's in the spring, I don't want to be inside anymore.
I've never been in a pro street style car or truck. How do they handle on the freeway?

Re: my first c10 custom
Dino, you could always relocate up here to the white mountains of northern Az... It only got down to -25 last winter. Those kind of temps are good for my plumbing company but that kind of work sucks after you get a little wet but after 30 years of the Az summers, crawling around in peoples attics, these winters are nothing. Daytime highs are in the low 90's during the summer up here but it's nice in the evenings. What do I have to do to get those stocker hub caps off ya?

Re: my first c10 custom
I don't miss the heat but I sure miss the fun Watching your activity and others on this board with all the kool stuff your building makes me super homesick. I used to drive by your shop on Indian School all the time when I worked for Cox but never knew that was you're place. Didn't really interact on the board until I moved out here to AR.
BBQ sounds like a kick a** good idea and lot's of fun. Wish I could make it. They say you can never go home but I think I'll give it a shot one day. |

Re: my first c10 custom
padresag:
I spend time in "the Mac "..northern Alberta....until then i was unaware that at minus 45 you can take a glass of warm water out side.....toss the water into the air as far as you can.....and it freezes before it hits the ground.... SCOTI.. "I don't care who you are..... that's just plain funny right there! Those skinny fronts can/will cause more that one tense moment during a moderate stop or quick (un-expected) turn/lane change. The extreme width rear tire mixed w/fresh drizzle on the road is the fastest thing known to pucker the arse on a grown man ." I gave up on the skinny fronts with my 69 Z the day I was on the freeway and some dude cut me off.....it was a life altering expierence...lol..." tho shalt not have skinny front tires any thing anymore "...But i have yet to learn about having extreme rear tires...because it just looks so fricken cool...lol oh and here in canada we use the term " nearly shard my pants " but it means that same thing Dino.. Well the good news for us in the winter we don't have to use the fridge to keep the beer cold....the bad news is we still have to use it to keep the beer warm so it doesn't freeze....lol..So Dude no new pictures of the project ? I am using you as a pace setter...everytime i see you have done a bunch of work I try to catch up......lol..
