    O/T response, but I used to live in Arvada,(and Wheatridge,and Edgwater) when I was a kid, and from what I remember you could be out there in a sweatshirt playing all day and not get really cold! We used to dig tunnels and caves in the snow-it was great!! I'll shut up now, just very nostalgic (or traditional?)West 73rd place.

    I have a friend in Tenn. and he always tells me he never has to shovel partly cloudy. 8 hours of shoveling with an additional 6 inches expected tonight.

    Ken, you didn't get shit, for snow! All three of my Model T's
    are buried past the hoods, my trailers are MIA, and there is a 6 foot drift in front of the shop, were the beer is!
    So I have to shovel, what choice do I have!

    Howdy neighbors, I am a couple blocks away too. :) Funny how more snow piled up on my round F1 in the driveway compared to my square ranger.

    By the way has the code lady gotten on your ass? I've gotten 3 violations this year. Ugh

    Cool I will.

    Actually he's got two of them. I'm jealous of the one in the back wish I had room in my backyard. I had to go with a shed instead.

    The code lady actually ventures into our yard constantly, then sends pics. We are zoned for agriculture but they still nails us hard constantly. They especially don't like when you have a doberman to protect your stuff. Comet looks great my wife and I will have to stop by. We live up on Simms where the black ford and plymoth are sitting in the back. When we can get out of the 2ft of snow we will cruise down and visit.

    Hey, I'm in Saint Louis, no snow here yet, but I'm thinking of putting an outboard evinrude on the T-busket, I havent seen the sun in a week and I have 300 feet of gravel driveway in a 20 foot pile in front of the garage. Ugh......Hey Comet boy, you got a decent trunk lid for a 64 2 dr sedan? Or just the trim? Love the Merc's

    I went out to norman in 04 for the FE nationals,The day we got there we were at a walmart parking lot when sirens started and the walmart PA system came on telling everyone to get into the store a tornado was just miles away.Never experienced anything like that before.It was crazy stuck in that walmart for hours.Cant build any bad marauders that way either.LoL

    Looking for any information for my 64 police interceptor marauder.The research I've done no one knows they even made one.I have seen a hipo390 in a canadian marauder but the engine code didnt match the car.This car may have been the only one made.

    Hey man, I'm just as big of a Mercury nut as you are, especially the 63-4 Marauders. If you ever need some 62-3-4 Merc trim, let me know! I got a fair amount of the stuff myself I try to bring home from the junkyards whenever I go. Even have some of the 63 Colony Park fiberglass woody trim.

    I happen to know where a rough Park Lane Marauder (4 door fastback hardtop) with a Super Marauder motor is sitting in a junkyard in Green Isle, MN if any of you guys need one for parts...
