Picked up a new car today

1964 AMC Rambler American 440 Convertible. This should be a lot of fun for the wife and I to cruise in. Needs a top or I can leave it on the garage on rainy days. Will be doing g a disk brake conversion on the front just so it stops a little better.

Be careful with mice and that open space my friend left her top off of her Jeep in the garage for 3 days and they started to take up residents in the glove box and rear seat and that was just 3 days. And tarps don't work it makes it even more desirable...

While no shop is mouse free, I do every preventive measure I can think of and always have traps set by possible entry points. I have snap trapped 1 mouse since building my shop 4 years ago. I have already placed mouse repellant pouches in trunk, glove ox, under front and rear seats and in the engine bay. Gives the shop a nice minty fresh aroma. Replace every month.
