Winter

[Joe/Ct]

Rain-X works pretty good with rain but not so well with snow. See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzaz7laBsRE

Prof Henry, is that you? Good to see someone using their car in less than ideal conditions.

Great video. Keep 'em coming.

Prof Henry, is that you?

Yes. That's one of several videos produced in my recent drive on "The Loneliest Road in America" here: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120098

Way to go, Old Henry. Henry Himself would be very proud of you. He did, after all, build 'em to run in the winter.

In Northern Ohio have antifreeze in cooling system. However
1. Disconnect battery and use a "on demand charger" to maintain charge
2. Change oil & filter
3. Fill gas tank add marvel mystery oil and gas stabilizer
4. Pump tires to 35PSI
5. Wash vehicle
6. Add mothballs to interior
7. Cover vehicle with car
8. Fill about 12 aluminum "turkey roasting pans" with about 3/4" of Calcium Chloride to absorb any moisture.

Not a good idea to be driving in the winter in MN with the 50 /50 salt snow mix which just eats cars, glad they did not use salt in the old days and many vintage cars survived. Yes winter sucks up here hope to be a snowbird some day. The summers though are incredible. Now the garage door gets shut, furnace on in the shop. I always leave the garage door open all summer.

Yup the Mag Chloride on the roads here will eat all kinds of things, stuff hangs out even when it gets dry, small amount of wet on the road will stir it up. Best to go out when the snow is really deep, no Mag Chloride then.

We spend all that time bringing them back to life no way am I packing it away for 7 or 8 months . When it gets real cold like -40 we just build a little fire under the engine till the grease turns back into oil and drive away .

Oh, and if you're going to drive on the wet salty roads in the winter be sure and take your windshield washer. Here's ours: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwBk24rxpq0
