What do you have in mind for your C3 this winter?
Projects?
Storage?
Driving?

My first Vette, now owned by JB79:
After spending over three years getting everything right on my '75, I plan on getting some driving enjoyment out of it -- until something else goes south. . .
My 73 is going to be sleeping the winter away 5 feet in the air.

Mine is already asleep for the winter, but only 2 feet in the air. We had our first snow mid October, Once the salt is applied to the roadway it's put away until the rain washes off the salt in the spring. 😭
Finish rebuilding/restoring the front suspension so I can put the engine back in.

Lifetime MemberYup, The five feet in the air, and salt are my sentiments as well!

Goes to figure -- went out to the garage today, and all the water/antifreeze is all over the floor! I pressure checked it, and it indicated just a small leak. I'm sure this will be fun trying to find the leak. . .
Try Bar's Stop Leak. I've had good luck with it.

The first thing I had to do once I got the C3 home from the dealer this fall is replace the radiator because the previous owner used Bars Leak and it plugged the radiator up beyond repair. Bars Leak is a very good band aid but it doesn't solve the problem in the long run.
