I'm in Texas. We don't have a winter like you guys. Don't get me wrong, we have a winter. I think last year it was on Wednesday

That means we get to drive what ever we want most of the year.

I drive mine year around.....sun, rain, snow, salt, slush, mud, dirt, pavement, whatever.

It does suck though....my poor baby is getting rustier by the day

Missouri dosen't have winters that are too harsh....however, if the weatherman gives the slighest hint that it MIGHT snow MoDot goes out and dumps salt EVERYWHERE on the roads....the first winter i had my truck it rusted up my chrome rims that were perfect!

And my rocker panels have gone from haveing nickel sized holes into them to having quarter sized holes in them

Oh well...all the more reason for me to restore it!

Yeah that sounds right. We get everything about 2-3 days later sometimes less over here in Atlanta. Hit here late Thursday night friday morning.

Gosh I guess those great white north folks might get mad to hear when my 70 LeMans was still running I was driving it with the top off in Jan sometimes. I need to fix that car this year. Sure is noce to have rust free 30+ year old cars you can drive year round isn't it?
