NOTHING done here either on one of my Pontiacs. The Grand Prix got attention early in the week. I spent the past two days working on my Corvette. Hot here, I took a pic of the shop thermometer at 6:30. Tomorrow will be worse.

Geez. I’d be in the house till November.
I don’t do heat well, I had to put a window unit in my shop and running continuously. I don’t have to keep it cool, but it sure is nice with no humidity out there.

Tomorrow will be a few degrees warmer. I'll get an early start.

I get all my stuff done between October and march. Rebuilt the front end on my truck over the winter outside, work in the garage without any heat.. when I can see my breath, I’m in my happy place!

Default Lots of cleaning

This morning I did a detailed cleaning of the engine compartment on my 1962 Tempest wagon. See the before and after pics below. Also cleaned exterior and wide white wall tires.

Last summer I finished insulating my garage/shop. In December I ran heat/AC ductwork out to the garage. A couple weeks ago I ran a second set of ductwork. See last pic.
Even when the temperature reaches over 100F, the highest the temp in garage has gotten is a cool dry 80F. The 2 sets of ductwork cost me less than $200 at Lowes.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
