Got people running around here with ear flaps pulled down! It is pretty cold, though; must be down to the lower sixties! If this damn rain would move on, it would be car show weather!

Just getting Little Red cleaned up to drive some (once the rain stops). Much too hot in the summer for this old boy.

Took my last ride last Saturday in the '66 to fill the gas tank and do the StaBil thing.

Hauled the '62 home earlier that week so mine are both in for the winter. Hopefully the '62 gets out again sometime this winter to get media blasted.

Had our first snow last night, just a dusting but it looked like winter finally arrived.

November 7th Was The Last Cruise Night Of The Year Here In Topeka. My 64' Is Going to My Buddy's Shop For The Next Couple Months While Patching The Hole In The Dash & Installing The "Correct" AM Radio. I'm Also Replacing The Inner-Fenders And Cleaning Up The Engine Bay. Connie's 62' Is Going Into The Garage To "Upgrade" The Braking System. Way To Much Salt On The Roads Here During The Winter :cussing:

Got you all beat , my 64 has been in the garage for at least 15 years. One of these years I will get around to finishing it. My 66 I drive every day, hopefully, I won't fall thru the floorboard before I get around to changing the cab on it. Get sidetracked to often on other projects. Still working on my grandsons 65, or is it a 66.

We have to deal with so much salt on the roads here that I won't take it out until the rains wash off the roads in the Spring. I did get out and play in the first snow a few years ago before the plows got started. Once the salt is on the roads, I'm done.

Big Red worked yesterday hauling something, but it's still nice here other than being really frickin' cold. Once the salt gets dumped though, we're done until probably March.

Didn't get my title to register my truck in time before the snow came, so its sitting in the inlaw's driveway for the winter :cry:
Don't wanna drive it 50 miles back to my house on the salty roads. Although despite sitting out in the cold and snow it fires up every time :thumright:
