Enclosed Porch taken care of when I should of been fixing that leak in the garage,

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.

Mine are about the same place they were all summer ! tucked away. After the BIG push to finish the 62 right before last Slickstock, I was trucked out ! I did drive it a lot that year.

Mine is tucked away, sadly. Who knows when I can get at it again

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.

I aired up my tires last Sun. got up Mon.morn,drove to the Lake of the Ozarks.We worked until this artic front blew in today,packed up and drove back to Kansas City.Stopped in Sedalia,Mo.and tightened up the exhaust pipe donut.The rest of the drive was much quieter.Plan on switching the thermostat soon.Winterized that's what I'm talking about,dig it out from under a foot of snow and go to work,"we don't need no stinking garages"

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:

From 38 above to 38 below and then back up again in the last week. Absolutely crazy here in the great white north! Slick is nestled up on blocks in my garage. Transmission ripped out and rear end gutted my winter list is underway

put away...I dont understand. 35 days a week I go out to the drive way get in my truck and go off to work I would have to walk to work if I put the truck up. Besides if I put the truck in the garage I cant open the door to get out......Whine Whine Whine....I love my truck she takes care of me.... :o

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:
