So here we all are. Getting ready to close things up for the year.

I would just like to get a good idea what all the rest of you do when putting the charger away for the winter.

All I do is disconnect the battery, put in some fuel stabilizer, and put a few mothballs in a few spots. I'm still working on trying to 'fast forward' winter along, but I can't get that dang flux capacitor to work.  :-[

I usually disconnect the battery, add some stabil to the tank, and stuff some steel wool in the exhaust pipes.

Errrr... well, not all of us...  :icon_smile_big:

In Texas, most of the Winter is prime cruising weather!  :icon_smile_tongue:

The non A/C cars are not driven as much in July-Sept around here, especially the ones owned by older coots like me...   :icon_smile_wink:

So my '68 Polara may get a rest, and the 440-6 'Cuda may get out more this Winter.  Unfortunately, my Chargers are all on the injured reserve list...  :icon_smile_sad: ...the disassembly of the triple black car has just begun.  Now if I could just finish the '70 Challenger Convertible in time to go cruising in it this Winter!!!  :drive:
