I have had the exact same thought about Vermont when looking at some of your pics. I grew up in and around New York City. Lived in Western Massachusetts 5 years as an adult. The winters and rain matter there, but out here it is almost all about the relentless sun. I have more heat abatement ideas for this car without an AC, but I am forcing myself to finish older projects before buying anything.

I sometimes think cars were secretly built with ESRT (EngineSootRedistributionTunnels.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
