    Hi ABW and welcome. Seen your build - you aren't wasting any time!

    I've always liked the RD shape, part Explorer, part Firebird.Thunderbird, but they stopped making them before I could ever afford one.

    Thank you. Well, it depends on what you count as cold. I am on the western coast and the weather here is pretty unstable. Lately it has been around 20 - 25 degrees Celsius on nice sunny days and around 12 - 15 degrees on the rainy and windy ones. You really learn to appreciate the nice days.
