"gotta love the Mopars" ... agreed, they had the most trouble free and advanced mechanicals in the late 50s with T-Flite, which was far better than GM Hydramatic or Dynaflow, and the new wedge 361/383/413 B block, though the 392 hemi was no slouch either. The 58 Imp was, and is, a beautiful car. Me, though, I'd take a 300C or D or an Adventurer... I had one, a 300C vert, back in the 80s when they were just a 5K car, it's hard to imagine that now! I traded a mint black 58 NYer vert for it. Those were the days, my friend! ...and though we thought they'd never end.. they did.

OK, so I'm addicted to comfort.

I have a wood burner in the garage. THe problem is that it takes at least a 1/2 hour to get it fired up and burning right so i can leave it. I don;t like to fire up wood burners and then have to leave for the rest of the day unexpectedly which can often happen. So i only fire up the wood burner when i KNOW i'll be within a 1/4 mile of the house at least all day.
So in my case i have good heat. It's just inconvenient.

Those ceiling suspended Hot Dawg heaters by Modine look pretty good, and don't take up valuable floor space in a tight garage - anyone have experience with one of them? We just have to have heat here in upstate.

Overhead gas heaters are very common here in Northern Ontario. I would not want a wood/gas/oil heater with a live flame anywhere near the floor of where I work or store cars as the fumes from a gas spill , which are heavier than air and tend to stay low on the floor, could cause an explosion or fire. Overhead gas /oil furnaces are much safer in that regard.

I don't know what current codes are. Some 25 years ago the pilot or anyother flame had to be 16 inches above the floor.

Don't most of the ceiling heaters have electronic ignition now? So no pilot light. I have also seen where lots of them have the burner portion separated with a spark arrester.

Being in Oregon with 5 months of winter rains, I do all my projects in the winter. I have a small 220V electric heater. The installers wanted $2K to install a ^$600 gas heater where I felt comfortable installing the electric. It normally doesn't drop below 32 though we just finsihed a week with mid teens at night.
Because of the size of this project, I put my other car in storage and move my lift with the Packard to the middle of the garage.
