Going into the tent for winter

PostPost by: dunclentdr » Fri Nov 25, 2016 3:56 pm

I believe in driving cars in the winter but this one has 29997 miles on the clock and original chassis so it is going into an air chamber (which by the way I can highly recommend if you have a damp garage)...

Brian, before putting it away, let's see some more pics, please? It looks terrific and the black hardtop is stunning! Very nice.

I've always painted my hardtops silver or body color, but I'm going to have reconsider that for the future!

All the Best, Frank
