Salt on the roads

I live in an area that uses a lot of salt. If you have the time, buy truck bed liner or rhino liner and roll it onto the entire underside. Next get some chainsaw oil and use an old pot to warm it up a little then spray the crap out of everything. When you think you have sprayed enough do it again. I bought my Valiant to use as a winter car, I do not want to buy some newer piece of crap that I have to constantly put cash into to keep on the road. My valiant is not a cuda for sure but if I had to I would drive my summer car even though that would be a real shame as well. In the end I might have to do some extensive restoring on the valiant after winter But, and this is the important part, I would have more fun fixing it and restoring it.
That is why I bought the valiant as a winter car.
I could have bought some newer piece of crap but parts are cheaper and I can always use more practice welding.

Old cars are made to last.

New cars are not.
