Default Body questions

Hi. Just joined new member. My concern is cool weather hard in fiberglass. My 1995 has been in a heated garage every year until last 2 winters. It is in a storage unit with metal siding, concrete floor and no heat. I have a cloth vette cover on it. My question: will it cracked or damage the body in the artic air of 0-20 degrees?

No its fine. Composite bodys are not affected by normal temps and changes.

Your composite bodywork will be fine. I would pay attention to an engine block heater or something to keep your fluids from going to hell though. Those are some frigid temps.

And a battery tender wouldn't hurt either...
