Default Is this considered SSP abuse?




Taken New Years Eve with my cell phone on a day when it wasn't supposed to snow til later that evening. But my car is finally a black & white again!

It is only abuse if you drive it in those conditions. Sitting in the snow will do little harm to the work that you have done. At least yours sees the light of day.

Thanks Mike. The 66 is the same car I drove in high school. My 14yo son has designs on it for his first car. He and I will be working on it for the next 2 years getting the little things fixed to make it safer and more reliable.

I see the above pic as a lost opportunity. I could have removed the snow from all areas except the roof to see how it would have looked like that. I toyed with the idea of repainting it that way before deciding on all-black. No regrets on my choice though.

Good friend of mine drove a '66 in HS and college....was stolen and never recovered in 1993 (second year of college). Definitely nice cars.

I have a '67 K-code GT coming my way one day. Car was hit in the front, but is definitely fixable.

Mike,
keep after that 67 ! that's a tough looking year ...
I just sold my 67 fastback a week ago to purchase 1-2 ssp's ????
time will tell.

As far as the cars in the snow, it's not abuse till you drive them on salted roads ...

I love 66 Mustangs. My first car was a red with black vinyl top 66 sporting a 289 V-8. Owned for 14 years and was my reliable daily driver for half of those.
