I seem to have wandered into a conversation I wasn't even having about rear engines or front engines. :wink1:

Yes I realize that we're not going to get it ice cold inside. We just need it to be bearable. Part of the plan will be driving early in the mornings. If the cats can hang, we can hang.

Engine noise and rattle I'm referring to in the first bit are just the amount of noise I have in the cabin when I'm on the road. And what I think is just my windows making a racket going over uneven...

I love the restore! I've poked around quite a bit in the San Diego one and will probably find myself back there in the future. We may go totally custom too. Hubs was a cabinet maker in his last life.
