With the car show / cruise season winding down plans call for removing the engine & transmission from the Barracuda before it gets cold out and get ready for some up-grades and repairs over the upcoming winter months. Once I get the car dis-assembled and parked for the winter I'm also looking into installing a wood burning barrel stove in the garage for heat. If anyone has any experience with these units, please get in touch with me.

Also time to go clean out the model room. It's almost time to get back into building and start spending more time here.

Barrel stoves are cheap and they work, but they will burn out over time. If you can find an airtight, fire brick lined stove, it will be much more efficient. Something along the lines of the old Fishers. I have been heating my home exclusively with wood for 30 years, and have used the same stove all those years. Look around a bit, I bet there's one sitting in somebodys garage that they haven't gotten rid of cause it's too heavy to move! Good luck and stay warm!
