October 25th was a sad day

Just need general maintance, right now we're securing outdoor stuff at the trailer in PA. then on Sunday doing the same at home in Jersey.

OK, Since this is my first winter with the Vette and I'm too old to be chasin the wife around, how bout a few tips on how to winter a Vette. I would guess you need to keep the battery charged and run the engine occasionally to keep the cylinders oiled, it probably woudn't hurt to top off the tank to keep out condensation, any other tips?

PB since we do not know where you live.....I'll tell you what I do in upsate NY

I usually keep mine in a semi-driveable state so I can pull her out without too much hassle if we happen to have a nice weekend day when I have some free time (yeah, right!).  But I do have a list: add a passenger side mirror, clock rebuild with quartz kit, sort out an e-brake issue and probably replace the rubber and short steel lines back there while I'm at it.  Also rebuild the shifter and I want to add a stainless luggage rack.  But my big priority right now involves some garage mods such as insulation, re-wiring, and sheet rock so it's not such a bear to go out there in the dead of winter.  

I too put my '75 away on Thursday after having it out for a good run; weather was just like summer that day here in southern Ontario.

Cars are always ready to go when weather permits, no winter Vette projects this year. I do have plenty of inside the house projects - painting, etc.. Wife wants to sell the house and move to southwest Florida to be with the grand kids and her siblings. Not looking forward to any of it, so should be an interesting winter for sure. Yes, dear...........

Both my cars got put away this weekend but hopefully only for a week or so. I try to drive them until we get the first snowfall and the roads get a dose of salt. The first 2 years I owned the 74 we drove it to church on Christmas Eve. Hopefully this year its the 72. Last week I drove the 72 to church with the top down. The wife wasnt happy about that but the Preacher heard what we drove and ask me thru facebook for a ride. Guess I owe him that since he forgives me when I miss. 
I'm like a few others as I dont put them away in storage and I start them and pump the brakes every couple of weeks. Sometimes when its nice out and the driveway is dry I will drive them up and down the lane. Its private and about 250 yards long. Keeps things loose and moving.  Just hate this time of the year! Gets dark to soon and we are forced to drive regular vehicles all the time.
Look forward to the spring!

I'm hiding the Lukester from Sandy for the next few days, then a final spruce up for the 2012 show season - Corvettes for Chip.

 In the process of putting them in storage. One will stay semi out as I'm gonna do trailing arms and possibly windshield and wiper bay. Gonna try the window rollers to see if they will seal up better in the rain.
