Just curious, I have to drive my '65 a short distance home from the Top Shop and was wondering if anyone else has ever heard that freezing temps can seriously increase the risk of fiberglass stress cracks?
It's really cold in KC; like the daytime highs are forecast for barely above 10 degrees for the foreseeable future....

Watching Texas struggle with Alabama right now. If things don't change will need to take a ride in the '62 to change the mood. Only in the 30's so it shouldn't be too bad, but the front is still blowing in. It will be top up cruising.
Enjoyed the pictures from Narlee

Haven't driven my Vette since late October... Too much salt on the streets for a winter cruise.... Today the temperature is around 0 celcius or 32 farenheit....

Hey Saint, Norway and Ontario are at the same level of deep freeze tonight, time for hot mulled wine or a toddy.
