Hotrodders(more so in cold climates) remember the little things count.
Don't forget the gearlube in the pumpkin, the cotter pin in the castle-nut and most important of all the anti-freeze in the radiator.
Yes, as you can guess, I forgot the last one. After months of getting my '59 Apache in shape for fun, everything new from front to back, one week before
the Pittsburgh version of The World of Wheels car show, it happened. The temps fell near zero for weeks, the heat in the garage is not constant and the idiot running the show(yes, me) left the anti-freeze on the shelf.
It was Sunday when I found the puddle in the garage & the "T" shaped crack in the block. Time to find some parts & get back at it.
Just remember; don't forget the little things.
I hate being a 50 year old rookie, I'm still learning the hard way
