Well almost had a panic situation today. I hadn't ran my '56 in a couple of months so I got in to crank it and the clutch was stuck to the flywheel. I tried and tried to get it undone and finally I put the battery charger on it and charged it up real good and hit the key. Pow ! and it came loose ... whew ..!!

He must not be in a dry climate like we have had in central Texas the last few years. However, back when it still rained around here, I have had truck clutches rust to the flywheel and floater plate to the point that we had to pull the transmission after 6 months of being out of service.

Been dry here for sure.  Point was to drive em more often.  I thought I was doing my Vicky an injustice just driving her once or twice a week during the 100* days.

How 'bout puttin' a pic on here of yours. Yeah, but in the summer I just don't get out. Was going to go to Sonic tonight but I was changin' a negative battery cable on a PT Cruiser.. Geeeze, that + oil change turned into an all day ordeal so I just don't feel like gettin' the old Vicky all cleaned up, besides by the time I would have got there there wouldn't be a parkin' place .. Next month for sure though and then Turkey Rod Run in Nov ... can't wait for that ..
