I am thinking about getting a storage unit and storing the car in there. I guess on jackstands? Ha.

 

[vermilion]

why store it. drive it. storing it for the winter in a state thats less likely to snow makes no sense.

This isn't going to be a daily driver. I have my F150. The Cobra is going to be a weekend cruiser type of thing. Want to keep it out of the elements to keep it clean. It's not just about snow. VA as you know has horrible weather aside from the lack of snow. Acidic rain and horrible pollen among other things. Just prefer to keep it tucked away and take it out on nice days.

Why do you suggest keeping it on jackstands? So that th tires don't get flat spots?

no to over look what you bought and address what is needed as for rust.

Ohhh ok. I wasn't sure where you were going with that. Yeah I'm taking it to a local shop and having them put it in the air so I can check things out.

i cleaned mine when the rear was out. i scraped about a pound of road grims and a shit ton of rust. we kryloned it and 3m undercoating. i have to remove the tank again and do the samething and redo the tank straps too.

 

[Brian95SVT]

Ouch... well I know I'm going to crawl under the car with a LED flashlight and look for rust since its a PA car. That is one of my main concerns.

 

[vermilion]

i have the tank down to a science.

 

[vermilion]

i dont have any wiring on the tank anymore. just disconnect the evap valve and 3 bolts.

 

[Brian95SVT]

I assume it wouldn't be that difficult with the right tools and if the tank was empty.

 

[vermilion]

nah not at all.

 

[Brian95SVT]

I have noticed you've come a long way with your knowledge and experience man. Very awesome.

 

[vermilion]

ive spent many hours in and under my car. ive read so many books, interwebz and just fucking shit up.

 

[Brian95SVT]

Yeah. That's the best way to learn. Unfortunately I didn't have a project to do that with. Might be picking up a V1 setup for the Cobra if you're watching the chat logs.

 

[vermilion]

roll that beautiful bean footage.

 

[Brian95SVT]

So it looks like I'm going to be one of the very few left "hold it down" for the 757.....

Jason, you ever have plans to come back here besides just to visit?

 

[vermilion]

probably in 2.5 years

 

[Brian95SVT]

Dang. Well hopefully by then mine will be cleaned up some and then we can do an updated photoshoot

 

[vermilion]
