Update: Factory Five Hours Thru Snow Storm

We are up and running through the storm.  However, we will be shutting down at 2 PM today to allow our crew to get home through the inevitable traffic and heavy snow.  Here are some photos from the day.

Also important is that we are running out of places to put snow (thank Gd for the front-end loader), so since we cannot park many cars and since snow and ice will likely be coating the parking lot by this weekend, we will be cancelling our Winter Open House, a.k.a. Moochfest.

Hot Rod Power Tour sure seems like a long way away.

The warm weather will be here soon enough, and even though it’s snowing outside, our project work is running at full throttle inside.  Here is our next demo car (Coyote-powered Mk4) going together.

The crew is working hard despite the weather.  The only good thing about weather like this is it makes it easy to stay inside, turn up the heat, and build cars.
