Hi Jack,

you have posted some nice pics of your corvette in the snow.
One question, are they not using salt against the snow in your countryside?
I would like to drive my C3 in the snow, but here in Germany, especially around cologne, they are covering the streets with a lot of salt.

Regards
Frank

Hi Frank,

Yes , we do have salt on the roads . I have driven the car in New England winters for 40 years or more, and yes rust is a problem, I have replaced parts of the frame , and over the years , all the nuts and bolts, and most parts that are replaceable. It is the original engine and drive train with over 300.000 miles on it.

After my last restoration in 2010, I do not care about rust anymore. I drive the car when ever I want, as long as driving is safe and no ice or slush.

When I get home, I bring out the wash bucket and the hose and wash the car down with hi pressure water and sometimes cloth rag if not a lot of sand.

We are too old to worry about rust. I am 65 and I am sure my fake hips will rust out before my old car frame does.

Jack
