So I'm a Bostonian and my daily driver sh*t the bed on me a few months ago. So I have been driving my 65' as my daily driver since May and so far so good. Get's me to A and B and then to C and back lol. Only problem is I can't afford another car anytime soon, my credit isnt great and that's what I'm trying to get back up so right now I'm in no position to think about getting another car. Looks like I'm going to have to face the weather with my baby, which I don't want to to. But I have no choice, I need some tips on how to care for her in the winter weather. any suggestions on protecting the undercarriage and any other spots that I should watch out for? I'm worried about that slushy salty nasty mixture getting all up in there and causing rust and rotting. Also adding weight in the trunk, good idea? I'm getting all these tips from people but I wanted some second opionions from people that actually know there stuff about these cars!

Thanks

Spy or rub thick oil onto the parts you don't want to get rusty, as long as the oil is thick enough (like chainsaw oil) it will stick and water will repel off of it. and dirt will stick to it which will create a layer of protection. but don't put it to close to hot spots,(like on the muffler) because it will smoke for a bit. but it can still go on their just be careful.

My uncle does this method on his jeep for in the winter and any time really. it does it a few times a year.

Or you can get White lithium spray grease and spry it everywhere. it protects from rust also. it doesnt freeze melt or wash off either. but it would probably take like 5 cans to get everything good.
Using lithium grease would be less messy. so I would probably use that since you are using it on a 65. Unless you dont mind the oil being all over the place.

adding weight in the trunk would give it more traction that's all I think it would do.

Thank you! I appreciate it, I'll prob use the lithium spray method, sounds less messy and easier to apply
