mice in the heater
I am finally getting around to the less essential repairs on my 68 convert. Decided to fix the heater, which the PO had completely disconnected. When I removed the heater box enclosure to check the heater core, I found where Mickey and Minnie had set up their little home at the PO's place. Why do they always go for the heater?

When I painted my 69 this past year, I found out the mice had some nice homes in my door panels too.

When I changed the heater core on my 1970 I found them in the same place. They were snacking on the blower fan as well. The good thing was that my dash wiring was not touched. I now use the fabric softener sheets like Gator.

Found a nest twice the size of a softball in the jack cubby of '74 roadster I recently acquired. I found the rubber drain tube was missing which made it easy for the critters to get in.
