This is one rig I only plan on using in nice weather. I keep it in Dad's garage, at least partly because my stepmother likes seeing it sit there. It's been hard lately to find a few dry days in a row.
One scary thing from this winter: after getting it titled in my name I decided to take it home for the weekend. The weather was clear but COLD and dipped down to the single digits. I jumped in it one morning and cranked it up; there was a squeal followed by smoking rolling out from under the hood. Seems that, despite the recent freshening of the engine by a "professional" builder, there was hardly any antifreeze in the mix! Yep, water pump was froze solid. Blessedly, after some thawing with a hair dryer everything was back to normal and I've driven a couple hundred miles since then without problems.
