I replaced outer door seals (which was a ton of fun btw!) & added a new steering wheel cover. Tomorrow is electronic to mechanical oil gauge swap & heat shield install for the HS6's.
What did you guys do?
Great thread idea! I'm making this a sticky.
Thanks, Skye

I drove it! I had to run some errands so I decided to take the B. Still no snow in upstate Ny and they haven't salted the roads. I've also never driven it when it was so cold. I think it was 15-18 degrees F. It took awhile for the oil pressure to get to up 70# with the 20W50. It mostly hovered around 50# until the engine got nice and hot. It ran like a champ! But I've almost run out most of the gas I treated with stabil a month or so ago!
Soon, tho' I want to park it in the back of the garage and start metal work on the GT.

Put in a new battery converting from dual 6's to single 12. Replaced the left headlight. Finished prepping the replacement steering wheel to put in the car. Getting it ready for New Years Eve.

In the mid 60's today in central Texas. Took the cover off and drove it to the club for lunch. Took the scenic drive home. Hadn't driven it for a couple of weeks and we missed each other.
