Thread: Cars In The Snow

Tweet

Our ambient temp was single digits this morning, so I rolled the '33 out and let it sit for an hour or so and went out to check my "choke" curve program at the cold side. Coolant 19F and it lit on the first crank, three to four seconds. Not too bad for a hot rod! Then I wondered, with the TrueTrac will it go up the driveway?? Yep, up the driveway, around the cul-de-sac, and down the road a ways I didn't brave the drop through the little valley, down & back up with a sweeping curve in the middle I think it would have been fine, but the little front tires don't provide the best turn traction Sure does good donuts in the cul-de-sac, though!!

Here's my snow picture. Others???

Nice Roger. Sounds like the mods are working great. I think we need some of the snow or rain you guy's got here! We are down 84% in rainfall for this year. So far we have had a total of 1 inch(normal would be around 18 by now!) The black paint job looks great too!

Hey Steve, we have heaps of rain today, our Christmas day, so I will pray to the fella upstairs to take it and drop it where it is needed, your house. Yes we are having a wet day today for all that want to cloat. I heard on the news that England and France have it bad so hope Steve and all others are safe over there. Nice photo Roger too.

Not to bad for a Hot Rod! Not to bad at all!!! That's a fine car Mr. Spears! Congrats to you and your efforts.

OH, Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to you and the family!

Looks nice on the white background!.

Great Pic Roger.
It will look a lot better runnin down I-40 goin to LARS

Very nice pic Roger! I love your car, it is awesome. That's pretty cool it fired right off. This morning here was -10 or colder. Having everything diesel powered right now is kind of a PITA.

The only snow pics I have of a car are in project stage.




Here's 2 winters ago when I had to build a new engine.



This is the only pic I can find of the 40 out in the winter.

haha that looks so tempting but I think I would be scared.

Good one Roger!

You would've made some great rooster-tails while doing it too!

I wish I would have taken pictures of the Corvette the first winter it sat outside after it was a running driving car. It was a real bad deal. It literally was buried in snow from the front to the back of the doors. I had to dig it out in the middle of January to bring it in the shop. It took quite a while to get the snow out of places to get it running and pulled out. I decided that was the last time it was sitting outside during winter.

After the show I drove it home on the Outer Drive in Chicago. I drove it every where. Good for you Roger they need fresh air in the winter too.

I don't own any trailer Queens

This is my wife & I coming home from Goodguys DelMar in 2005.

We had to pull under an overpass to clean the slush out of the interior that the passing semi's would throw in.

That was cold!!
