I love watching a restoration as it progresses.
From that previous thread I got it narrowed down to 67'-68'. The 1967-1968 1050's were extremely hard to tell apart so its really no biggie if you say its a 67 or 68.

If you want to do a good job I would probably hold off the painting until the spring.
Im afraid I will forget how it goes together lol

Did you take pictures as you tore it apart?

The other thing you could do is run a heater non stop and keep it at least above 60 degrees. 70 would be better. You would probably be looking at running it the whole day before paint and a day or two after paint if you want to paint while it is cold out.

What is the best way to paint in cold weather? I have no place with heat to paint it? I keep all my can in the house so there at about 70F. The parts though are out in the cold which are about 25-30F I need to paint it but I want to do it right. My parents wont let me paint in the basement because of the fumes coming up through the floor into the living area. Is there anything I can do?
Yous off to a good start nascar. I'm not sure if you have a company like I have in my town called do it yourself auto, but they have all the equipment to do everything from auto repair to body and paint. I plan on using them to do my H14 when I have the time, the the prices are reasonable about $15 Hr they have all the equipment that I don't have from spray booth, sand blasting, all air tools needed to do the job. Can't wait to see the progress on your 1050 good luck.
