This video demonstrates the process of winterizing multiple hot rods, a procedure the creator performs annually in October. Key steps include checking tire pressure, all fluids, and battery maintenance. Batteries that are not kept charged in cold weather are at risk of cracking and leaking acid. The video also highlights the importance of using orange antifreeze for aluminum radiators, as green antifreeze can corrode aluminum. The hot rods are then moved to a dedicated "oldies room" and covered with plastic. The creator acknowledges the effort involved but emphasizes the enjoyment of the process.
This video documents the annual winterization process for nearly 100 military vehicles. The crew performs essential maintenance tasks such as checking antifreeze, inflating tires, verifying oil levels, and removing batteries for storage. A significant detail highlighted is the evaporation of over 100 gallons of gasoline each summer, requiring replacement. The video also serves as an announcement for the museum's closing for the winter after November 11th (Veteran's Day), encouraging viewers to visit during the remaining Sunday tours before the season ends. A link to the shop for t-shirts is also provided.
This video provides essential advice for winterizing hot rods, focusing on preventing engine damage and preserving vehicle components during cold months. Key steps include using a fuel stabilizer, checking and topping off antifreeze, testing tire pressure, and verifying fluid levels. The creator emphasizes the risks of engine block cracking due to inadequate antifreeze, battery freezing and damage from condensation, and fuel degradation leading to clogged carburetors. They also advise using a trickle charger for batteries stored over winter to prevent freezing. The video is framed as an educational guide for hot rod enthusiasts.
This video details the process of winterizing military vehicles. Key steps include filling fuel tanks, checking antifreeze levels, removing batteries, and inflating tires. The presenter mentions a total of 92 vehicles requiring this maintenance. The military museum where these vehicles are stored will close after Veteran's Day due to the extreme cold, which makes tours impractical.
This video provides a final look at a collection of classic cars, referred to as "Oldies but Goodies," before they are stored for winter. The owner highlights their "museum" setting and mentions that some cars are still used even in winter due to Colorado Springs' mild climate. The video also announces an upcoming series on winterizing 92 military vehicles, detailing the process which includes checking antifreeze, removing batteries, inflating tires, and adding fuel stabilizer. The owner expresses hope that viewers will enjoy the content.
This video demonstrates the essential steps for winterizing hot rod vehicles. The process includes driving to a gas station to fill the tanks with high-octane fuel and adding a stabilizer to prevent rust caused by condensation. It also covers inflating tires, checking antifreeze levels, and managing batteries by removing them for long-term storage or attaching battery tenders for vehicles used during winter. Finally, the cars are covered with plastic to protect against moisture. The video aims to provide viewers with practical advice for vehicle maintenance to ensure longevity.
