[T3] Mission Impossible of 72 Fastback

[Keith Park]

WE got 15 inches TODAY!
  Do they actually have the ability to salt that far south when it does snow
or do they just let it melt?  Once on the car, salt is nearly impossible to
get back out of all the nooks and crannies and seams and such, I resort to
filling them with oil on my winterat but that does make a mess...

Thanks! Yea I was going to take it off before my body guy got it any 
way. Yes our old cars have it pretty good down here. We have had the 
most snow in over 15 years this winter. I bet we gotten close to 15 
inches this winter. That's a lot for us we usually do lucky to get an 
inch or two over the whole winter. Most of the time it just turns into a 
cold rain by the time it gets down here.
