I miss wrenching on the roc!!!!! (I WANT CINCY)

[rocco.crossing at gmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

Yes, the garage is heated!! But in that 24X40 along with the truck and other
parts there is a 12' workbench, parts cleaner, and a counter with a sink
(and hot water.) I hope to have the car on the road by May-ish. Not sure if
I will have the springs and struts I want but I will have everything else.
